A shame-free, sex-positive, no-holds-barred guide to understanding our erotic selves-both gifts and challenges-through astrology

Astrology offers a potent portal to self-inquiry, including the deep terrain of our erotic landscapes. In Sex and Your Stars, clinical sexologist and astrologer Stefanie Iris Weiss invites us to explore our sexual selves-as complex, confounding, and fulfilling as we are-through the lens of astrology.

"So much of what I see in my clinical practice can be addressed when we work through the shame we retain about our sexuality," Weiss explains. "Sex and Your Stars will help you dissolve the shame you're holding on to, no matter where you are in your sexual journey." Weiss introduces us to each sign, illuminating its core gifts and common challenges. With keen insight, she reveals the many ways we relate to each sign-including as a Sun sign and as a season during the year. Subsequent chapters look at Venus and Mars, as well as explore how to discuss sex, intimacy, and creativity in astrology readings. Weiss supports us in navigating sensitive topics-including libido, sexual function, religious conditioning, and what turns us on. Somatic practices and meditations help us investigate and embody what we learn.

This guide to the elemental, archetypal sexual self can help us understand our erotic desires and relationships in ways we may never have allowed ourselves to consider.
