Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this irreverent guide to intimacy, astrologer Dixon-Cooper offers a sign-by-sign breakdown of sexual mores, habits and fantasies-as determined by the astrological placement of the sun, moon, Mars and Venus at birth. As she brazenly declares in the introduction, this is not soul-mate astrology ("love may make the world go round, but lust greases the wheels that drive us to the bedroom"), but a breezy manual to romancing a sign. While the oversimplified astrological portraits (Aquarius: "This sign will boink on the first date and still respect you in the morning") and the complicated charts for determining where the celestial bodies hung at the time of your honey's birth are a slight turn-off, Dixon-Cooper offers a sassy take on why some relationships rot and others ignite.

Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
That astrology book on your nightstand may describe your Cancer sweetheart as a nurturing homebody, but what it won't tell you is how to disentangle one from around your ankles so you can have an occasional evening out with your friends, or warn you that the only sweet-nothings your Pisces boyfriend is whispering are to the hallucinations resulting from his latest foray into the Ozone, or explain why the passionate nature of your headstrong Aries lover is confined to on-demand sex and nightly temper tantrums. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Love an insiders review to the zodiac, March 1, 2004
By Marc Anthony (Toronto Ont) - See all my reviews
I never laughed so hard reading astrology before in my life. Cooper this time has a made a fast read, simple layout cuts out all the b.s. and goes straight to the jugular on this stuff. This not one of those books that you have consult someones new age girlfriend about, without a doubt you should take away enough information to make yourself an even more hit at the bar.

Each chapter is broken down to a specific sign. Opening start for each is enough to have you busting a gut before you get through half the page. Hazel dubs each sign with a nick name, then it's the break down on elemant, quality, symbol, planetary ruler, romantic idol, style. After that it's the skinny on that sign. The next 2 thirds of each chapter is when the stuff gets dirty.

Since I am a Capricorn I decided to test the waters with my info first. The fav pick up line for my sign was `I would lay you if it fits into my schedule'
Erogenous zone: Knees, you on yours.

The book further goes indepth in explaining how to catch and release, then keep one. I like that you get the info on how to dump them first before keeping. Just incase the relationship doesn't work out you have some intel just how hard its going to be to shake they aura. To help you get through the entire mars and venus part with makes up the final part of each chapter, there is a cheat note for each sign and your own. They sound like web personals for the other signs, for an even more bare bone your computability with the other signs go such as best bets, just good friends, please shoot yourself now and finally the dark horse.

Final note, I would buy this book just for the gut busting alone. It gives some inside information on who are the people that habit our lives are like.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Insight, November 25, 2004
This is a very cute book, and actually does successfully illuminate points about the signs that you might not otherwise know. Additionally, the author includes Moon, Venus and Mars charts in the back, so you can quickly and easily locate what sign someone falls under. The delivery is very tongue-in-cheek and has a certain crassness to it; this isn't a book that sets out to impress more literary types. However, it does what it sets out to do - enlighten you to the love aspects of the signs. I would recommend this book with one MAJOR CAVEAT: this book is very repetitive of Born on a Rotten Day. I found that much of the information overlapped, and that this book was not a compliment for the first title. If you already own Born on a Rotten Day you won't be overly impressed by this new title and won't find anything new in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth Is Out There, April 14, 2004
By Eclectic One "Larry" (Fresno, California) - See all my reviews
In the "Truth is Funnier Than Fiction" arena, Love On A Rotten Day hits the bulls eye of astrological love sign quirks. This book not only had me laughing until my sides ached, I realized that it was right-on as far as dating characteristics go. In looking back over my history, I recognized several traits that played a significant part in my own makeup and that of my dating partners. In retrospect and after reading this book, I was lucky to escape in one piece from some, past relationships.

This book is an apt sequel to Dixon-Cooper's Born On A Rotten day, and takes us one step further to the arena of love, a topic closer to our hearts. Great work, and I can't wait to see what's coming next.
