Part One: Debunking Linda Goodman and her Star Signs
Part Two: Debunking Linda Goodman and her Star Signs
In chapter about ‘Lexigramming’, she suggests that ‘Words’ and alphabets possess a life of their own. They grow, multiply and possess emotions. She has devised a method, to some extent resembling -‘Anagrams’ and ‘Scrabble’-in which all the alphabets of a selected word, name or phrase are rearranged to form all the possible words. She professes that the list of all the words made in such a way give a clue to the hidden meanings of that name, word or phrase. The rules of Lexigramming are loosely based on ‘Ilm-ul-Jafar’, an occult art practised by the Shiite sect of the Muslims. ‘Ilm-ul-Jafar, was not a new art. It is said that it has existed from time memorial in one form or another. In this art the alphabets are systematically subjected to prescribed rules to find the true meaning and answers to the questions posed. Linda, by virtue of her habit, instead of directing people to the real art, pushed them to the wrong direction by stamping her authority on what she considered was the correct way.
The 9th and last chapter of ‘Linda Goodman’s Star Sings’ deals with a subject for which that book has been deliberately written. Linda Goodman considers ‘Physical Immortality’ to be the divine right of human kind and death an unnatural state, which happens due to the deliberate programming. She has devised a method in which her disciples- after following her ‘Diet’ program- go through ‘thought transformation’ and imagining the spiral of their body cells to reverse backwards can stop aging and reverse the age, thus defying the death. It is irony of the fate, that the proponent of ‘Physical Immortality died on 21st of October 1995, at the age of 70, thus giving an air of farce to whole of her work. In the website Linda Land , her fans refuse to accept that she is dead and give reasons for her disappearance but the people who believed in her feel, that they have been conned.
At the end of the book, for the ‘Pilgrims Progress’, she has given a list of recommended books on astrology and occult. Linda, insists that the charts interpreted according to ‘Placidus’ house system obscure the truth. In her opinion, the only correct system is the ‘Equal House System’, which was practised by ancients. The new research suggests that ancients favoured ‘Whole Sign House system’.
The critique of Linda Goodman reveal that Mankind is susceptible to those people who sell them ‘hopes’, promises of eternal love through ‘Twin Souls/Soul mates’ and eternal happiness. She came at the height of ‘Age of awareness’ but was the instrument of its end.
To sum up, I would like to quote from a person who reviewed her book in the Amazon.
If you want to learn about how to live forever from a woman who is DEAD…this is the book for you!! If you want to spend a fortune getting a red light, red glasses, and red clothes for a stupid “color diet” that doesn’t work, this is the book for you! If you want to spend a few bucks on a little metal plate colored purple that does nothing, this is the book for you! Even on adulatory LG websites, I found nobody that lost weight on the color diet…If you want to hear sensible information from a woman who was shown the body of her own child and refused to believe it was her, this is the greatest book in the whole freaking universe!!

You are sadly wrong about Linda. I’ve used her methods for many years—all reliable, including her weight loss color therapy.
Why the need to try to debunk her?
