The Secret Language of Birthdays is an easy-to-use guide to personality based on psychology, history, numerology, tarot, and astrology. Just by knowing dates of birth, one can gain in-depth knowledge not only about oneself but also about friends, loved ones—even new-found acquaintances.
Astrologers correctly argue that the exact time, place, and year of one’s birth must be known in order to calculate the planetary positions, aspects, transits, and progressions required for a detailed astrological reading. Nevertheless, a great deal can be known about an individual simply from their birthday.
Indeed, the popular astrology found in magazines and newspapers is far more general, since it is based on “sun-sign astrology,” in which we are advised solely on the basis of what sign the sun was in on our date of birth (e.g., Gemini, Aquarius or Scorpio), regardless of the particular day. Because of this, an astonishing number of people all over the world not only know their signs but identify with their symbolism in their daily life.
The Secret Language of Birthdays is the first comprehensive book to take sun-sign astrology one step further. In it, characteristics associated with each day of the year are outlined, not simply those associated with the sun sign. How then, were the characteristics of the days established? In order to answer this question, it is first necessary to address how astrologers have long-established the characteristics of the sun signs.
