Be amazed by the predictions., May 31, 2002
This review is from: Sexual Astrology: A Sign-by-Sign Guide to Your Sensual Stars (Mass Market Paperback)
Let me start off the review with the following disclosures. I am not a believer in astrology. I do not consult charts, 900 phone numbers, or daily/weekly horoscopes prior to making everyday decisions. Despite all that, I at least found this book to be highly entertaining. Each chapter of Sexual Astrology is devoted to an astrological sign and details the sexual proclivities of people born under that sign. It provides advice on making the first move, erogenous zones, and breaking it off. Finally, the chapter closes with a compatability index indicating the likelihood of a successful short-term and/or long-term relationship with people of other (or the same) signs. I think my friends and I found this book to be entertaining because of the accuracy of the frank, graphic descriptions (e.g. down to specific deviant sexual acts). As a non-believer in astrology, I am not sure _why_ the predictions are so spot on, but they are. One theory I have is that we want to believe in the predictions so we fit the story of our lives to the description, but that is a psychological explanation way beyond the scope of this review. In any case, this is fun book to read and definitely a conversation starter if you leave it lying on your coffee table or nightstand.

The Best Astrology book I have owned...several times...!!!, February 18, 2002
This review is from: Sexual Astrology: A Sign-by-Sign Guide to Your Sensual Stars (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the Best Astrology book I have owned...several times... and the only one that never comes back to me. I do not suggest loaning this book to anyone. Make them buy it ! This book is astoundingly Accurate and Soooooo much fun to research (to see if it *really* measures up). I have owned this book for a long time and discussed it with numerous individuals and couples. Everyone seems to agree that it is very Accurate and amazingly easy to comprehend or use. Most Astrology books are boring and unexplainable to "Non-Believers," but Sexual Astrology speaks for and proves itself. The advice in this work is sound, and very helpful in relationship matters. This book will certainly help you work things out, in a Polygamous relationship ;)

A very helpful book, April 16, 2006
This review is from: Sexual Astrology: A Sign-by-Sign Guide to Your Sensual Stars (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is very accurate. Why that should be, I couldn't say. What is particularly helpful about it is that it gives a small paragraph about each sign's compatibility with every other sign, including the predicted outcome (such as "an enjoyable affair, but an unhappy marriage," or "an ardent affair, a lasting union"). It mentions why two people will fight, and whether or not they can overcome this. I never thought much of astrology until I read this book, but what especially convinced me is that it read like a road map of my parents' failed marriage. If only they had read this book!
As for myself, I thought I was doomed to romantic unhappiness after the example my parents set. Yet after 10 years of unsuccessful dating, I was finally able to recognize and connect with the man of my dreams because of the guidelines laid out in this book. It has also been helpful for understanding and getting along with my friends and co-workers.
Many people seem to grasp instinctively who their best matches are, and I am never surprised when I look up the compatibility of the happiest couples I know and find that they are a perfect match. But if you struggle in this department, and you need help figuring out what you need in a partner, this book is for you!
Disclaimer: although the sexual descriptions in this book are usually quite accurate, they are also very graphic. If such things make you uncomfortable, I recommend another book by the same author, "The Only Astrology Book You Will Ever Need." It also has information about romantic compatibility, but it is much more tastefully done.
