This book is great, so helpful and intuitive. You can pick and choose your sections you want to read, whether it’s your star sign or your partners, or you can read it one star sign at a time as each star season comes about. There’s journaling and excercises you can do, it’s a very hands on book. Anyone who is into astrology, into getting in tune with themselves or their partners definitely give this a read.

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC!

I enjoyed how thorough this book was about astrology and sex. I have dabbled in a bit of astrology, but am not super knowledgeable about the topic so this book did a great job with explanations.

"Sex and Your Stars" resonated deeply with me, offering a shame-free exploration of sexuality through astrology. Stefanie Iris Weiss's insights prompted me to reflect on my own erotic self and confront any lingering shame. As I delved into the chapters, I found myself feeling empowered and curious about how astrology could inform my understanding of intimacy and desire. The book's practical exercises and meditations provided a safe space for self-exploration, allowing me to navigate sensitive topics with newfound confidence. Overall, "Sex and Your Stars" sparked a sense of liberation and self-discovery, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their sexual journey.

Let's start with the sex. Stefanie Iris Weiss as a clinical sexologist clearly knows her stuff, and discusses all aspects of it in the frankest and most explicit way yet. It is scarcely a first to be combining the topics of sex and astrology on one book: Elvis Presley for example seems to have been particularly obsessed with using knowledge of his stars to maximalise his pleasure. No doubt this book would have delighted him still further.

And that is one thing this book teaches - how to get more sexual pleasure. Each Sign gets a meditation designed for them, whilst attention is of course drawn to the parts of the bodies their sign 'rules.' These may be erogenous signs for you, but if you want to really research the matter you might wish to read all the signs, not just yours, and experiment a little. And read the short delineations this author gives on your Mars and Venus signs too (there are also delineations for Black Moon Lilith if that is important to you). One caveat: obviously for issues related to the biological changes ageing brings, it can be seen that astrology and meditation won't preclude medical advice where needed.

This book is also very current. It acknowledges the trauma of isolation the pandemic brought, and is woke
enough, to use a loaded term, to be inclusive of all kinds of genderism, trans, differently abled and beyond. Weiss is erudite, there is a bibliography written at the end for those who seek more information.

The less good: there are elements of the cookbook here, with the delineations mentioned here. It is also a sun-sign based book, which is obviously fine for those readers who do identify strongly with their sun-sign and will feel affirmed by this emphasis. That did seem a little prescriptive where in terms of the sexuality discussed here, anything goes.

Regarding relationships and synastry however, this author is most likely right in that there is plenty here for most readers to learn from if they seek to use astrology to spice up their sex lives.

I really liked this. I love picking up books about topics I am not familiar with, and astrology is one of them. The mix of astrology and sexology was interesting and fun to read
