Product Description
Aren't Cancerians fed up with being the mothers of the universe? Don't Leos become weary of being told they're just fun-loving party animals? Does a girl--or boy--ever get to flash their mean streak? Do they ever--in Darkside Zodiac, the book that exposes the hidden underside of the stars, and how they affect the dark side of everyone. The zodiac definitely has a dark side that influences the nasty in every one under every sign: When Scorpios shed their Ms. Manners persona out pops a sex-mad control freak. Capricorns are really bean-counting misanthropes. Aries are head banging psychos. Aquarians can't wait to be beamed back to the mothership. Darkside Zodiac covers personalities, rising sign, ruling planet, Moon, qualities, and elements. It also details lifestyle choices (jobs, vacations, fashion, interior design, partners) all from a gripping, yet rarely discussed perspective.

• Amazingly Accurate & Entertaining 06 September, 2007
This is my all time favorite astrology book dealing with the negative side of the signs. The set up with colorful pages makes it a pleasure to read. The best part is that the book brings up planetary combinations such as Sun in Gemini/Venus in Leo which takes it a step further than most "dark side" astrology books that exclusively focus on the sun sign. Great bonus sections such as "What kind of Criminal are You?". I can also recommend the corresponding book for Chinese Signs- "Snarling Tiger, Dirty rat".

• Accurate, But Save Your Money And Buy Better. 13 June, 2007
If you are familiar with Stella Hyde's writing, you will know why I said accurate, but save your money. If you are not familiar, please know that she writes words but does not say anything. The accurate parts are the parts that can be understood. I do not know who taught this woman English, but it cannot be someone who was alive in the past 100 years.
Her other book, Snarling Tiger, Hidden Dragon was even worse! If you are a serious student of Astrology, go to an actual store and browse thru their books, then order it cheaper from Amazon (unless you can get it elsewhere, I can get a lot of books from 2 other suppliers at wholesale prices).

• Fun Read, Some Accuracy Some Hard To Understand 21 December, 2007
A good friend of mine got me this book for Christmas, I love it, it's a fun read. It's pretty insightful, at the same time, some of the deep metaphor is really hard to understand, the author is kind of speaking in her own languge. Metaphor is fun, but the author took it a bit far without explaining in "normal" languge at times.
The moon sign look up chart in the back did not work for mine for some reason, it worked for my bro's. I should email the arthor about that one.

• Hysterical - Loved It 20 March, 2007
This book is ridiculously funny.
Caveat: as the author herself warns, this is not for the faint of heart. If you can't laugh at yourself (or your friends), this is not the book for you. If, however, you can deal with a little tongue-in-cheek cynicism and equal-opportunity send-ups of all 12 signs, this book will provide hours of teasing your friends and loved ones, while surreptitiously tearing out the pages of your own sign and hiding them where no one can find them.
Speaking as an Aries - I put up a good front. I have a carefully - very carefully - maintained facade as a sane, intelligent, enlightened human being, fit for civilized company. But once in a blue moon, while it's not what anyone in their right mind would call "flattering," it IS rather refreshing to see someone call me on it - someone who knows that under that thin innocuous veneer of decency lies a seething, rage-filled, carnivorous soul, bent on fire and destruction and entirely unreasonable, one which has no truck with such niceties as patience or logic, not when there's people out there who just... won't... do... what... I... SAY!!! *face turns red as fist slams through desk*
Ahem. Sorry about that. Where was I?
The information in the book is exaggerated and distorted (of course!) for maximum comic impact; the basis of it, though, is pretty astrologically accurate. My only complaint is with the quick-and-dirty moon sign chart in the back, which kept trying to put my moon in Taurus (it's in Gemini) - but then, the book does say it's only an approximation, and gives the address for a very nice website that will give you a complete chart for free. So that's ok then.
And again, the true value of the book lies not in pointing out your own hidden darkness (because you already knew all about that!) No, it's in what it has to say about *everyone else*. Point and laugh at your Cancer roommate when they get the sulks - again. Snicker behind your hand at the Taurean and his cake habit. Call your Gemini best friend on it when he tries to fast-talk you into a bad idea - AGAIN. Tell your Scorpio buddy - wait. Maybe that's a bad idea. Just... quietly back away from your Scorpio buddy. And don't make eye contact.
All kidding aside, it's a really fun book. If you have any interest in astrology, or just want a chuckle, check it out.

• Genius! 23 October, 2007
This book provides hilarious insight into the darkest pits of the twelve sun signs. As depressing as that may sound, the book is really quite hilarious. Brilliant, in fact. It has given me many gut-bustingly funny hours through reading it to people.
The funniest part is, most people deny outright that they are anything like the book says, when they (and everyone else) knows that they are. I, for one, don't mind saying that I am a shiftless Pisces.
Overall, this book is a genius piece of work, and you should buy it, RIGHT NOW!
