5.0 out of 5 stars An illuminating look at pairing by the planets., November 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Gay Love Signs: The New Astrology Guide for Men Who Love Men (Plume) (Mass Market Paperback)

Jay's delightful book is fun to read, fun to discuss, and fun to ponder. Well written, astrologially accurate, Gay Love Signs gives an affirming view of relationships, and of the selves within those relationships. Each sign is dealt with in some depth, and every possible combination of signs is readily available, and from both perspectives. This is a fun read, and a thought provoking book. It may even bring "What's your sign?" out of the cliche and back into popular usage.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books for serious gay astrologers, February 27, 2004

This book is definitely one of the better ones I've seen (Compare my review of Gay Star Signs by Max Bowman). Devoid of pictures, it gives excellent details for each of the compatible signs, also devoting entire new sections for the same pair reversed (Libra/Aquarius, Aquarius/Libra are separate writings). There's a bit of an emphasis on sex, but that's to be expected for this area of the genre. In the end, Jay focuses on the relationship aspects as the crux of the details, neither sugar-coating nor glossing over 'bad' combinations.

Serious astrologers who want a critical analysis of each combination will find this guide very helpful, which also includes an appendix for calculating your Rising Sign. The book is written easily enough for beginner readers too.

I place this one at the top of best gay astrology books, with Jill Dearman a close second. It's not a gay picture book nor a quick reference guide, but is in-depth enough to deliver an entertaining and insightful read.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT, February 7, 2003

I have used this book for years and have found Michael Jay's descriptions of the signs infallible. I love to amaze people by having them read a section about themselves. EVERY time they say "oh my god, that's me!" The descriptions of the signs paired up is also very valuable whether for love or friendship. I can't recommend this book enough!
