J.P. Morgan once famously remarked, “Millionaires don't have astrologers. Billionaires do.” For modern business professionals, the idea that what's in the stars might have some bearing on the very cut-and-dried, numbers-dominated corporate environment may seem pretty “out there.” But time and time again, the science of astrology has been shown to provide uncanny insight into timing and trends. This book examines the accomplishments of hundreds of business greats—from Walt Disney to Oprah Winfrey to Bill Gates—through the remarkable and surprising lens of astrology. Signs of Success gives all readers, be they astrological doubters, dilettantes, or devotees, a practical and entertaining overview of the many applications of astrology to business endeavors. The book provides an analysis of the 12 zodiacal business personality types, and fascinatingly recounts how an understanding of the stars has affected landmark business events throughout history. Witty, wise, and practical, this delightful book shows readers that when it comes to real-world business and leadership, the sky truly is the limit.

In the course of that description, the author provides intensely-passionate civic testimony at its best, in the course of which he holds both Democrats, Republicans, and lazy Independents responsible for our national decline. The author begins by laying the foundation for a required national culture--a radically-conservative approach to modern civics embracing the original meaning of the U.S. Constitution. Two essays (the first, an expose; the second, an expansiv...
