Moon Child Here In Love With Ms Balfour
I was initially introduced to "Black Love Signs" on my 25th birthday as I called myself escaping to another city from a recent, confusing heartbreak. As my cousin allowed me to thumb through his copy, I became mesmorized and relieved. The guy I was dating was a Scorpio man, and though I am a Cancer woman and we were compatible, I ended up with a broken heart. But what was killing me the most was I didn't know why it ended and so suddenly!It had only been a month long liason. So as I read about the Scorpio man, I saw what I was dealing with unfolding before my eyes word by word. I was already mind blown and then I reached two life altering sentences which stated, 'If you're left holding the bag, without so much as a word of warning, it may be a relief to you and a blessing in disguise. In short, you ain't gettin' out of this relationship until he decides it's over...' Though the pain remained, it was lessened. I realized that in this case the situation was beyond me and that his actions were totally in his nature. At this point I was hooked, so I began to read my true love's sign, Virgo man. This truly took my breath away even moreso. Not only were we compatible, we are a true match! I was reading validity in black and white. Reading our signs matched up against each other made my stomach tingle like a child waiting to open gifts on Christmas Eve. My inquisitive hunger was fed indeed. So to further solidify this, I wrote him and gave him an outline of the Virgos and the Virgo man. He returned a letter to me stating that I had to have added to what I said the book was saying or he knows the author personally. He said that it was all too true to have all come from this book. I did not vary from Thelma's words. And then it hit me! Deep in my heart I know this Virgo man is my soul mate, but I have to wait for him to return to me from his unjust incarceration. All this time that he has been away I was falling into unfullfilling off-the-beaten path realtionships. After licking many, many wounds I now see that the solution for me is to exercise patience and to avoid my anxious nature that kept me in these repetitive heartbreaks. This book was the revelation I needed at a perfect time in my life. Since my eye opening experience, I have been in everyone's face about this book. It has been mind blowing to all of them (with the exception of two or three closed minded individuals). This book has become a guide to understanding past and current relationships and in some cases future ones that may or may not be depending on their sign. I would never meet another man without asking him his birthday and/or sign. This book has really brought to light the notion that people are who they are and there is nothing you can do about it. It's just a matter of, if who they are is what I'm willing to allow in my life. This book is a life changing winner and Thelma has me as a deovted fan forever.

"The" Book
This book is dope.

This book is disturbingly on point. Hands down there is no better astrology book related to african americans. Oops... hands down there is no better astrology book.

I get calls from friends Long Distance asking me, what does "the book" says. I get calls from friends on dates, asking me what does "the book" say. Having this book is a statement. It's not saying you are into hocus pocus. It's saying I am as an adult trying to understand other mature adults around me.

I recommend this book and I have bought it several times as a gift for friends and lovers. I can't really stress how dope this book is. I shudder to say, it can even help you in giving you insight to your current or future relationships.

Deep. I don't mean to make it soud like a secret society but everyone in the know whipsers about this book. Thelma.. you go girl!

Black Love Signs
I think this is a excellent book, because it really has helped me to understand people under certain zodiac signs. I have read parts of this book to other people and they are amazed how much the sign they were born under is so true about their personality or life style. I would recommend this book to any black singles.
