Product Description
Looking for the right gay partner? Well, you can thank your lucky stars. Here at last is a down-to-earth astrological guide especially for gay men. From dating to mating, from scoring to snoring, and from catching his eye to capturing his heart and keeping it-his volume offers heaven-sent advice on finding love in today's gay world. Whether you're coming out or moving in, settling down or breaking up, raising kids or raising hell, GAY ASTROLOGY can help.

With wit and warmth it describes the challenges and joys of seventy-eight possible sunsign combos. And it gives specifics on how to court, bed, and wed in a gamut of relationships. The great news is that anything can work. If all signs point to the perfect match but it's a queer romance, then this is the book for you.

GOOD HEAVENS...IRRESISTIBLE FORCES ARE AT WORK!
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN HIS STARS MEET YOURS!
ARIES/SAGITTARIUS

What would it be like if Superman hooked up with Hercules? Cosmic love, cosmic fights, cosmic rescues in the skies over Metropolis. So what if a building gets leveled-neither of these guys meant any harm. It takes the embarrassment of putting their super feet in their super mouths to bring them back to earth.

GEMINI/LEO

Each member of this pair will always think the other is a little ditzy. To Gemini, Leo's single-mindedness and sincerity seem supremely unsavvy. Leo thinks that all of that Gemini flitting and manipulation are distractions from what really matters. So why would a Gemini and Leo come together? It is because they fulfill deep needs for each other. And because ditzy can be cute.

SCORPIO/AQUARIUS

This is a nervous romance. Two men, with little in common other than a mile-wide streak of stubbornness and an inability to color inside the lines, come together to frighten the bejesus out of each other between sudden uncontrollable attacks of sexual passion. If that isn't love...

5.0 out of 5 stars Men Are From Mars, Men Are From Venus, June 29, 2001

By	Todd Below (Delray Beach, FL) - See all my reviews

Overflowing with real-world details describing how each sign acts, this book puts the vagueness of other astrology books to shame. Much of Gay Astrology's delightfully edgey humor comes from its author's wry view of each sign's behavior in settings ranging from the bedroom to the gym to the boardroom to the laundromat. (The best part is "5-faces" where each sign is re-imagined as a Drag Queen, B&D Top, Guppy, Activist, and Gym Bunny. You have to read it to believe it.) In the second half of the book, author Yawney looks at how the signs act within couples using every possible combination. Most books do this these days, but none with the wit and insight this one does. Read this one and you will have fun, but you will learn something about yourself and others, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, March 18, 2002

By	"sajun777" (Modesto, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

I realize by all means that pop astrology (the stuff you read in the newspapers), is basically not worth the paper its printed on. This book is cheap, and incredible in every sense of the word. I have had 17 out of 17 people read their apropriate sign, and EVERY single one of them either put it down, or were completely blown away, by how incredibly true this book is.
I never understood why my ex was such a jerk, until I read this book, (He was an Aries), it makes so much sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, February 4, 2002

By	brooklyn/last exit (United States) - See all my reviews

This is it. Finally, an astrology book that isn't full of weak-tea platitudes and tired generalities: Gay Astrology is packed with insight, great turns of phrase, and solid readings. Yawney clearly knows his stuff, and tells it like it is. Refreshingly intelligent. Yet another author I would love to meet... I bet he's a Pisces.
