About Linda Goodman. Life of Linda Goodman, books of Linda Goodman, Linda Goodman's story. The 1960s were heralded as the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, and one of the manifestations of the lengthy Uranus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo of that era was a rebirth of public interest in astrology. That explosion of interest not only reached the masses, but also was the beginning of long astrological careers for many of the current speakers, writers, and leaders of our field.
Life of Linda Goodman:
Linda Goodman, (April 10, 1925 - October 21, 1995) was a New York Times bestselling American astrologer and poet.
Although Goodman never revealed her year of birth, swearing even her father to silence, it emerged posthumously that she was born in 1925.
She was born Mary Alice Kemery, by some accounts in her parent's hometown of Parkersburg, West Virginia and by her own account in her maternal grandparents' house on Kingwood Street in Morgantown, West Virginia.
She graduated from Parkersburg High School in 1943.
She assumed the name Linda during World War II for a popular WCOM radio show in Parkersburg that she hosted called Love Letters from Linda. Each show consisted of Linda reading letters written between soldiers and their loved ones. Each letter was punctuated with a popular song of the day. While working in radio, she met her second husband, Sam O. Goodman and took his last name.
Linda Goodman's career
Linda Goodman began her career writing for newspapers in the eastern and southeastern United States. She also wrote speeches for black American civil rights leader Whitney Young, who served for several years as president of the National Urban League.
Some have suggested that Linda Goodman was responsible for accelerating the growth of the New Age movement through the unprecedented success of her first astrology book Linda Goodman's Sun Signs (1968). This was the first astrology book ever to earn a spot on the New York Times Bestseller List. It was followed by yet another success with Linda Goodman's Love Signs (1978), which also made the New York Times Bestseller List.
Goodman's books also reference what she referred to as the "disappearance" of her eldest daughter, Sally Snyder, and the mystery around her reported death. Linda Goodman spent much money and many years trying to find Sally, long after police closed the case as a suicide or accidental suicide.
Linda made Cripple Creek, Colorado her home during the latter part of her adult life
A businesswoman from Ireland named Crystal Bush befriended Linda at the end of her life and obtained the publicity rights to Linda Goodman's name at her death. Crystal Bush published the book "Linda Goodman's Relationship Signs" after Linda's death.
It is said that Linda Goodman died on October 21, 1995, in Colorado from complications of diabetes. She was 70. Despite reports of her death, some of her followers maintain that she is still alive, living anonymously in rural New Zealand.

If you don't make it in time to get the free membership it's only $10/month. You ask why should I join if it might cost me $10/month when some dating sites are free? Well I will tell you why. Not from personal experience, but from reviews I have read people are displeased because free sites tend to not worry so much about it's members. They don't get proper customer service and personal services. I offer free real relationship advice, I mean you can really send me a personal private message to ask me anything you would like... I am also in the process of making a questionnaire for members to fill out and send to me for ME personally to find your perfect match with other members. Just give us a try and spread the word! http://www.luvspell.com
Thank you!!!
