Each sun sign is also a love sign, for each sign has its own way of expressing and experiencing love. The Twelve Mys teries of Love are the wondrous ways in which the heart is influenced by the stars. Aries, as the first sign, is repre sented in love by the infant - gentle, trusting, affectionate, and innocent. Then Taurus, the baby. And on through Virgo, the adult. The last six signs are the stages of adult love - Libra represents the balance and harmony of mar riage. Scorpio, sexual passion. Then on through Pisces, which is the sign of acceptance in love. LINDA GOODMAN'S LOVE SIGNS is far more than a cross-referencing of which signs you should seek out and which you should avoid in forming a friendship or making a love match. This compelling book explains in penetrating detail why some signs can be good lovers for you, and why others might be better as friends.
