the measure of coverage is a slow emission...

sure, this book can easily ace you out of your ego in the lick of a splitting second

bitch rating refers to each sign's capacity to bitch out and how it affects others. trust me, getting an "A" like gemini and virgo is not always a great thing. but i'm not so sure a "C+" is such a great rating either. the book is merciless and spares no sign, so without further ado...

try this one on for size. i won't tell you which sign it is for the sake of protecting all the signs from withering under the blast.

but honestly, it sums up my recent dating experience with people of this basic nature. and in those moments where they tried to make comebacks or quick-witted repertoire, it was truly crushingly painful and embarrassing to witness. and oddly, equally so when they were trying to flirt or demonstrate affection. all thumbs, bumbled word phrases and clumsy as a bull in a china shop (whoever let a bull into a china shop, i wonder?)

however, i think embedded in the scathing, blistering sheer terror of this bitch rating, there is REALLY good advice.

for instance, members of this sign will have a much better life if they can learn to avoid making snide comments about others or eliminate the practice of being judgmental about unfamiliar things. they have great powers and can share them more freely if they make an effort to avoid trying to make snappy comebacks or join in with the aggressive hostility of american mockery/humor at the expense of others.

also, if the person of this sign does like to flirt, they will be much happier, pleased and pleasing to others if they become a "touchy" kind of person who reaches out a gentle hand or puts their arm around another person's shoulder and pulls them in close with lots of hugs. touch is a quiet language and these people are masters at this language whether they share their proficiency with others or not. it's their magick. sadly, many members of this sign don't touch others enough and since they have an inherently tactile relationship with life itself, their touch is a great and reassuring gift to others. this can be a form a stinginess in an area where true generosity could heal and transform others!

the book is called darkside astrology.

it's great for dating. you can read about all the possible shitty qualities and predilections of other signs and then, when you start to spot them in their unique and individualized form, you can assess more accurately the level of tolerance you might have with the deviation. and it's weird to have read about a deviation and then to watch it emerge uniquely in an individual. we all know that flowers blossom and one rose is much like another rose. but we also know that when you watch one rose blossom, it is its own unfolding. this is much like that.

and, if you are courageous and you like to do personal work, this book will tear you a new face and give you some useful inside tips into understanding why the people around you sometimes go grrrrrrr!!! it will sashimi all your personal secrets and serve them up for your assessment. all the bad, the worse and the ugly. no beauty in this book. you gotzta fill that one in on your own :-)
