Product Description
From Amazon
Although she does not bill herself as a professional astrologer, psychic Sylvia Browne has some strong opinions on how astrology plays into life on earth (as well as the afterlife). "I promise you that you will not read any of this information in any other astrology book", writes Browne. "This work represents my personal observations from 30 years as a professional psychic". Instead of specific predictions, this compact book offers general astrology tips. For example, she asserts that premature babies are probably trying to assure that they are born under the right sign. Other tips include "Most of the time fire and air signs go very well together" and "A rule of thumb is that you are compatible with people three signs removed from you". Readers can also look up Browne's specific thoughts and psychic insights under their zodiac sign. But beware, Browne has a tell-it-like-I-see-it style, so not all of her comments are glowing and flattering. --Ali Perry-Gallagher

Rude and Crude,
By A Customer
This review is from: Astrology Through a Psychic's Eyes (Paperback)
I have read several other books by Sylvia Brown. Some, like the Other Side and Back, were pretty good. The Angel book was weak, but this book, while she may have thought it was funny, I thought it was just downright rude and crude. She flat out says that Taurans are "stupid" and "boring". I suspect that perhaps only stupid and boring Taurans would consult with someone like her. Calling millions of people who happen to be Taurans "stupid and boring" is pretty crass. Her research must have been pretty limited and biased...obviously not scientific. Also (yes I am a Tauran) not all Taurans have thick necks, thank you very much Sylvia...I am tall and slim and have a rather "long slim" neck. I have a Ph.D. from a very reputable university, so I really doubt that I am "stupid". Also, I have many interests, and while someone like her may think I am stupid and boring, I have many friends who seem to really like me and seek consultation with me, as I am a psychologist. If anything was stupid and boring, it is this book. I didn't see ANYTHING about it as funny...just poor, biased, research on her part, trying to kick out another book to make money from people who may be true seekers...don't buy this one. I'm sending mine back for a refund!

Not impressed at all!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Astrology Through a Psychic's Eyes (Paperback)
This is also the first time I took the time to review a book. I was not impressed at all. Studying astrology part time for years, I was downright disturbed by some of her statements. She seems to contradict many things through the years I have read over and over again, and found to be true. She should have called this book "How she see other signs", period. It seems to be her personal opinion mainly. Humor I honestly can say I never laugh out loud once. Want a funny book on astrology that also is accurate, "Born on a rotten day" by Hazel Dixon-Cooper. In my opinion, Sylvia is on an extreme prolific writing kick where she will publish just about anything to make more money. This is the last book I will buy from hers for a long time.

I am a fan of Sylvia's but....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Astrology Through a Psychic's Eyes (Paperback)
I found that this book was quite inaccurate, as well as conflicting, in its assessments of the sun signs. For example, I am a Libra so of course I read my sign first. At the end of the chapter it gave a short rundown of physical characteristics for Libra. One of them was that "true" Libras have light eyes. However, in the beginning of her book, she listed *twice* that Libras are known for their dark eyes. This really grated on my nerves. Also, I found that her information conflicted with not only what I have read previously, but also with what I have observed myself to be true about the particular signs. To make matters worse, reading the book gave me a headache.....not a good sign.In summary, I would not recommend reading this book because I feel it is inaccurate and will confuse the beginning astrologer. I would heartily recommend Linda Goodman's Sun Signs instead for her humor, sensitivity, and insight. UPDATE: I should have posted this earlier, but I want to warn Taureans NOT to read this book. PLEASE.
