Love Relationship Formula: Predicting Romantic Success with Astrology [With CDROM]

Christine Rakela. Llewellyn Publications, $19.95 (298pp) ISBN 978-0-7387-0424-1

Those who prefer looking to the constellations for advice and formulas for a successful relationship may find this book of astrological combinations useful. Geared toward individuals familiar with the highly specialized lingo of astrology and its relationship with mathematics, this book details the numerous combinations for male/female compatibility. Rakela offers advice on where best to meet your mate and analyzes the compatibility of famous couples like John Lennon and Yoko Ono (who, she says, were well-matched air signs whose love and respect for one another was""instigated by mutual Sun/Venus aspects""). Readers new to this field or only mildly familiar with it would do best to stick with traditional self-help guides, but ardent astrology buffs will likely appreciate this book's quantitative approach to evaluating relationships. CD-ROM included.
