Summary: I LOVE IT
Review: I have used this book for years and have found Michael Jay's descriptions of the signs infallible. I love to amaze people by having them read a section about themselves. EVERY time they say "oh my god, that's me!" The descriptions of the signs paired up is also very valuable whether for love or friendship. I can't recommend this book enough!

Summary: Words from a former skeptic ....
Review: Its so cliche in the gay idiom to inquire about ones zodiac sign. I can tell you nobody was a bigger skeptic than me. That all changed after I picked up a copy of GAY LOVE SIGNS. Almost 15 years have passed since Michael Jay gave us "GAY LOVE SIGNS " and it remains a relevant piece of work I STILL refer to!Whether your comtemplating a love relationship , cant figure out WHY someone in your life acts a certain way or your just curious about astrology, GAY LOVE SIGNS will provide some telling insight into what you wanna know. Thanx for a fun and timeless read Mike !

Summary: Amazingly insightful
Review: Much more than I expected! I'm not sure what I think of astrology as a "science," but I'll tell you what, this book absolutely described me (through my sign) to a "T," and also correctly identified those I would get along with and those signs that would be disasters for me. Fun reading, and also helpful to produce more reflection on the part of gay men about who they're dating, how it's going, and why. Also very helpful is pairing up each sign with its 12 matches -- and doing this for each sign. For instance, it's helpful to match up Aries with Leo from the Aries perspective, and see how well it would work for the Aries partner. But it's also important to pair up Leo with Aries and see how it would feel from the Leo's perspective! Similar books, like Jill Dearman's Queer Astrology for Men, only match up the pairs once, in shorter sections, attempting to do both perspectives at once.

Summary: One of the best books for serious gay astrologers
Review: This book is definitely one of the better ones I've seen (Compare my review of Gay Star Signs by Max Bowman). Devoid of pictures, it gives excellent details for each of the compatible signs, also devoting entire new sections for the same pair reversed (Libra/Aquarius, Aquarius/Libra are separate writings). There's a bit of an emphasis on sex, but that's to be expected for this area of the genre. In the end, Jay focuses on the relationship aspects as the crux of the details, neither sugar-coating nor glossing over 'bad' combinations. Serious astrologers who want a critical analysis of each combination will find this guide very helpful, which also includes an appendix for calculating your Rising Sign. The book is written easily enough for beginner readers too. I place this one at the top of best gay astrology books, with Jill Dearman a close second. It's not a gay picture book nor a quick reference guide, but is in-depth enough to deliver an entertaining and insightful read.
