Cosmic Coupling: The Sextrology of Relationships [Paperback]

Stella Starsky (Author), Quinn Cox (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 29, 2009

Cosmic Coupling is a fun, fast-paced exploration of every ­possible relationship between star signs, both straight and gay, from the authors’ unique sextrological perspective. With rich knowledge, expert wordsmithing, and signature wry humor, celebrity cosmic consultants Stella Starsky + Quinn Cox delve into the specific rules of attraction inherent in each bond and the perks and pitfalls particular to each partnership. Whether addressing enduring alliances or fleeting dalliances, Starsky + Cox don’t shy away from the juicier bits in profiling the romantic and sexual nature of each star-sign combination on the astrological block. Smart, sexy, and sophisticated, with a wink, Cosmic Coupling ­profiles couples in a threefold manner:

•    Chemistry—describes the sparks, clashes, and underlying motivations of the couple’s mutual attraction
•    Compatibility—depicts the relationship needs of each sign and explains how the pair best meshes
•    Carnality—details the sexual dynamics of the bond, right on down to the nitty-gritty

With a profound understanding of astrology and human ­psychology, original insights drawn from ancient, literary, and pop archetypes, and a frankly intelligent, frequently funny delivery, Cosmic Coupling illuminates the dynamics of one’s (and others’) existing relationships and guides any singles seeking Mr. and/or Ms. Right, while giving the phrase “starry-eyed lovers” a whole, spicy new meaning.

While in their first book the authors Starsky and Cox described separately women and men through their astrological sign's nature and their ever so relevant sexual behavior; in "Cosmic Coupling" they have decided to finally connect the dots and - as the glamorous cosmic matchmakers they are- immerse themselves in the laborious journey of signs interacting (and exchanging fluids). Not a single juicy detail will be left aside here, and the book gets more interesting and fun to read because of all this "in depth" information. You will be astounded by the accurate depiction of your friends relationships dynamics,- in and out the bed -, and you'll search avidly for your own best match .
If its predecessor "Sextrology" was labeled the "red bible" by cosmic followers, this is bound to become the astrological rosetta stone guiding heterosexual, gay and lesbian individuals of every sign through all the flirting possibilities the universe brings them.

This book is my new Bible and I literally consult this before dating anyone! You may laugh but I read through every relationship I ever had and every one of them was DEAD on! I only wish I read this before my marriage, I would have saved myself A LOT of heartache!

2.0 out of 5 stars Is this as good as it gets? Their other book "Sextrology" is better., November 9, 2011

This review is from: Cosmic Coupling: The Sextrology of Relationships (Paperback)

I'm a little disappointed by the brevity of each relationship...whether it's Virgo man and Sagittarius female or Virgo man and Cancer man. It's only a couple of pages or so for each relationship. Unlike the first book that the writers wrote ("Sextrology: the Astrology of Sex and the Sexes"), this is too much into sex - like hardcore sex. Not every relationship or every individual can relate to the handcuffs, tying up, and having intercourse in a dark alley! "Sextrology," their first book, included the Mind of each Sign within each gender, then it included Body and Soul, and I think the Sex section. In addition, the "Sextrology" book had lengthy, in-depth analysis of each character - of each gender of the signs. This one, "Cosmic Coupling" has little information. You understood the life lessons of that sign's gender in "Sextrology." Unfortunately, "Cosmic Coupling" does not teach the life lessons in the relationships. As a reader, I'm interested in knowing why certain things could or could not work out in the relationships. It's not specific enough as to life circumstances with each sign and what each sign could learn from each other. I think it's a cheap job. However, I have hope for the writers that they can turn around. They showed in their "Sextrology" that they can create excellent and insightful literature. They have showed their potential. So I give this two stars.
