Lost Leo,

Well, since you asked, I am giving my opinion. I think they are a bunch of crock and give legitimate astrology a bad rap. They simply cannot be accurate based on Sun Signs and the power of suggestion is there, for any particular Sun Sign to see what they want in themselves or a love interest. They are shallow and I personally stay away from them with a ten foot pole.

I also feel they are there as one of the selling points of the mag and although the writer may be a legitimate astrologer, I feel strongly that he is doing a dis-service to Astrology, but that is strictly my opinion, as I feel that way about all the newspaper astrology columns.

It isn't any smugness about me that makes me feel this way, it is simply that when I learned to cast a natal horoscope and saw how shallow these columns were, well, they are simply misleading, just too generalized.

I don't mean to upset anybody, just giving my thoughts and feelings about it, which, normally, I just keep to myself.

I think I misled most of you.
"SexScopes" is an actual book in itself, by Stuart Hazelton.

I wanted to know if anyone has read thru it and what your thoughts were???

Next time any of you are at Borders or Barnes & Noble look it up and get back to me. I don't want to bias the thread by sharing my opinion yet, but would really appreciate objective third party opinions of it.

Oops! I thought you meant in this month's issue of Cosmo! I have to admit, I thought it was cute that you would read that, but hello fajita, you weren't reading that

Whoops!! Lost Leo!! Well, I remember when I used to read Cosmo, that they had the column called "The Bedroom Astrologer" and I thought perhaps they just renamed it.

I will definitely check out the book when I get to the bookstore. But I can tell you, I already don't like the title, LOL. I think I am just too serious about Astrology.

I've been meaning to check this book out, I saw the sample pages on Amazon, and I thought it was hysterical. Very funny. Good for a laugh, not meant to be taken seriously. "Aries always misses the toilet seat"!

Wanted to put it up there one last time...
anyone else read this and have an opinion?

My opinion is that it's retarded, it sounds like he's basing he observations on how HE hit it off with the person rather than how the PERSON is, which is supposed to be the focus...
