Astrosex: What the Stars Say About Our Sexuality

by Amina Sutter, Amal Tahir

Author Amina Sutter is an astrologer, and Amal Tahir is a sexual and relationship coach: with their combined expertise, they offer the essential tools to help anyone blossom into a fully realized, passionate person. What ignites interest inside the bedroom and outside of it? How can the major features of a natal chart be used to fuel sexual curiosity? What toys will work best? What erotic energies will create opportunities to flourish? This is an exciting, warm, and personal book that presents the sexual journey as a positive, empowering, and creative endeavor.

Editorial Reviews

12/04/2023

Astrologer Sutter and sex and relationship coach Tahir debut with a well-intentioned if disjointed primer on “deciphering your sexuality through the stars.” The book opens with Sutter’s accessible introduction to common astrological terms and concepts, including basic personality types for each sign, and moves onto Tahir’s broad overview of assorted aspects of sexuality, including consent, the value of decentering orgasms during intercourse, and what makes for a healthy relationship. Later sections attempt to weave the two topics together, detailing sex-related elements of the birth chart, such as the location of Venus (whose “feminine energy” can “unveil how you deploy your love”), and providing astrological compatibility charts. Unfortunately, despite a fruitful premise and an ebullient, inclusive tone, the various elements never quite cohere—the rationale for linking astrology and sexuality is underexplored, and Tahir’s sex-positive outlook is weakened by her dismissal of pornography. This comes up short. Illus. (Jan.)

Two voices, an astrologer and a sex coach, offer up a unique perspective on love and sexuality. The first part of the book, written by astrologer Sutter, is a basic and comprehensible primer on astrology and reading a natal or birth chart. It includes jaunty personality descriptions for sun, moon, and rising signs. The second part comes from sex coach Tahir, who writes authoritatively about healthy relationships, boundaries, inclusive sexuality, toys, and the virtues of slow sex. The next section combines the expertise of both: the astrologer explains how the placement of Venus and Mars in a natal chart are the signatures of love and sexuality, and the sex coach offers love advice regarding how to use these aspects to enhance relationships—compatibility chart included. Further dives into the fifth, seventh, and eighth natal chart houses and the asteroid Juno explore styles of intimate relationships and views on commitment. This spicy book wraps up with sex-toy suggestions for each sun sign. VERDICT A frank, informative, and juicy look at sexuality through an astrological lens.
