These are cute references until you truly live a life of a Moon Scorpio. It is not a joke. :)
Sun in Taurus
Sensible and concerned with the practical necessities of life, Taurus is generally considered the earthiest of the three Earth signs. Your tranquil, easygoing nature inclines toward beauty and harmony in all things. Introverted, you prefer to sit back and wait for opportunity to come knocking. Unswerving in your devotion to physical reality and the security of the tangible world, you’re not attracted to the realm of nebulous ideas. Your friends and relations count on you for material help and support, because you take your commitments seriously. Home and family come first with you, and you’re not likely to run off at the first sign of trouble. As a member of one of the most reliable zodiac signs, you carefully guard your image of respectability. Despite your innate good nature and amiable sense of humor, you dislike being made to look foolish. Although not actually lazy, the bull patently refuses to waste energy. Better at finishing projects than starting them, you think and plan, but have an awful time taking the first step. Although you cannot be rushed, when left to your own devices you do a great job. On an emotional level, however, bulls can be totally clueless. Remarkably ignorant of your own inner makeup, you have limited understanding of what makes people tick, and virtually no interest in finding out. Naturally reticent, you rarely share your inner thoughts with anyone, and sometimes your loved ones may feel shut out.
In Bed
Sexually, those born under the sign of the bull are deeply passionate, although somewhat reserved. Fearful of rejection, you prefer to draw love to you rather than pursue it openly. Since Taurus is naturally charming, alluring, and sexy, you probably have little trouble attracting romantic partners. When intimately involved with someone, you make a caring, considerate lover. However, you require a lot of affection and consideration in return, and thrive on flattery and compliments. To you, good sex usually means a sensuous, passionate, and uncomplicated physical relationship. Your ideas about love tend to be traditional. You refuse to play games, and you don’t make promises that you can’t keep. You are naturally seductive, and when you overcome your inhibitions you’re capable of depths of passion that will leave your lover gasping for breath—and begging for more. Once your libido has been let loose, you’re a very demanding lover. However, you’re set in your ways and not generally given to kinky boudoir behavior or radical sexual experimentation. In your love life, as in all other things, you cannot be rushed. Your sensuality, generosity, affectionate nature, and legendary staying power make you an excellent lover and sex is closely tied to your love of pleasure and luxury. You absolutely adore everything that is sensual and romantic from satin sheets, flowers, perfume, and music, to champagne, exotic fruits, and other delicious edible treats. Your bedmate is practically guaranteed a sexual experience that is joyful, pleasurable, and
extremely satisfying.
Turn-ons & Turn-offs
Taurus is arguably the most sensuous sign in the zodiac. You thoroughly enjoy the one-on-one aspect of a romantic relationship, and the affection and intimacy it provides. In private, you make an intense bedmate; one who is happy to have the sensual encounters continue all night long. Sexually, Taurus is the Energizer Bunny of the zodiac. You thrive on unhurried nights of love play, liberally punctuated with amorous conversation, erotic fantasy, and an occasional indulgence in food and drink. The bull craves a partner who is loving, yet strong and practical. The suitor who arrives bearing gifts and kind words easily wins your heart, since Taurus is responsive to both material goods and heartfelt compliments. Making you feel safe and secure is a smart strategy for any potential lover. What you want most is to live in a comfortable world and have a special someone to share it with. One-night stands are not your style. You regard lovemaking as an art; and when you go to bed with someone, it’s to make love, not to have sex. Elegant surroundings, sensuous perfumes, silky fabrics, soft music, and sex-play involving delectable delicacies such as whipped cream or chocolate are guaranteed turn-ons. You particularly enjoy being kissed around the neck and throat, and having your skin gently stroked sets your whole body on fire. For you, making love is a process that inevitably involves wooing and protracted foreplay. Luxury loving and pleasure-oriented, you take your time in bed. Your ideal lover moves in slowly, savoring every moment, and builds gradually to a powerful climax.
Mars in Taurus
Mars, the planet of energy, isn’t very active in Taurus, and your physical drive is often reduced to a low gear. However, what you lack in aggressiveness and mobility, you make up for with outstanding endurance. When you finally get rolling in one direction, it is virtually impossible to get you to change course. Naturally patient and persistent, you simply wait for however long it takes. Mars in Taurus is inherently possessive, with a strong sense of ownership. Once you’ve gained your prize, no one is going to be allowed to take it away from you. Above all, you need stability and security in your love life. When you find it, you make a loyal and devoted romantic partner. Mars in Taurus denotes a lot of practical and emotional energy. However, the physical side of life can be rather flat, and interest in the intellectual side may also be restrained. Mars in Taurus also shows a lack of flexibility. Taurus is a Fixed sign, and Martian energies normally expressed as anger can come out looking like stubbornness. Emotions that are held too tightly may later be released in a major blow up. Sexually, Mars in Taurus is hedonistic and sensual. High on your list of life’s priorities is satisfying the physical desires. Your approach to sexuality is laid back and uncomplicated without fantasies or fetishes, and is almost never rushed. Moreover, your sensuality is about more than just sex. It extends to all five senses. You respond sensuously to beauty in your surroundings, people, nature, and the arts.
Sun in Taurus/Mars in Taurus
In an intimate union, you are sensual, passionate, caring, and generous. Good sex ranks high on your list of life’s priorities, and your approach to lovemaking is tactile and erotic. Physical intimacy energizes your body and nourishes your inner being. Although you enjoy experimenting with a variety of sexual positions and techniques, you find the warmth of close contact and shared affection most satisfying. Most of the time, you’re relaxed and full of fun, but can sometimes be jealous and demanding.
Moon in Scorpio
This is a difficult placement, because lunar scorpions are capable of concentrating their energies and focusing on their objectives with a passion that sometimes approaches obsession. Always interested in what lies beneath the surface, your instinctive urge is to keep digging until you get to the bottom of things. Despite this, Scorpios are very good at hiding their deepest feelings; you may be pathological in your secretiveness, never revealing yourself entirely to another person. Inclined to bottle up most of your disappointments, you may become silent and withdrawn if you feel unable to control or change what you don’t like. Eventually, pent up frustration can surface as angry outbursts that affect your work, health, and relationships, but Moon in Scorpios are unsurpassed when it comes to bouncing back from disappointment, illness, and in some cases the threshold of death’s door.
In Bed
Imbued with a smoldering sexuality, when you turn on your sultry charm, few can resist you and, once you get going beneath the covers, you have tremendous staying power. Your passionate lovemaking requires a dynamic bed partner with physical stamina equal to your own. Your innate fascination with sexuality inspires numerous fantasies of erotic seduction. Acting out these scenarios with your mate provides an outlet for your active imagination in addition to being a guaranteed turn-on. An extremist, you equate sex with power and control, making you a demanding, but wickedly delightful lover. You intuit your partner’s secret desires—and make them come true. Sharing your lusty thoughts with your beloved serves as tantalizing foreplay for steamy nights of intense lovemaking.
Venus in Gemini
Driven by a powerful intellectual curiosity, a restless nature, and a diversity of interests, you long to sample everything life has to offer. You have an excitable, childlike attitude toward romance, approaching new affairs with optimism and high expectations. Consequently, your romantic encounters may be many and brief before you finally decide to settle down. Since your romantic feelings are neither deep nor intense, you tend to bounce back quickly from disappointments in love. For you, mental stimulation and the simple joy of being together are absolute musts for any alliance to have a chance of becoming permanent. Good communication is of the utmost importance; without it no amount of sexual attraction will hold your interest. You need a mate with whom you can discuss your varied interests and share your thoughts and ideas. However, though willing to talk endlessly about your relationship, you’re inclined to gloss over most of the deeper emotional issues. In love, as in life, your tastes change often, and it can be hard for your significant other to know what to expect from one day, or even one hour, to the next.
Moon in Scorpio/Venus in Gemini
A great listener and observer of human nature, and an even better talker, you carefully study a potential partner before making any bold moves. However, once your passions are engaged, you entice your lover with sultry verbal suggestions. Your taste for variety in the bedroom leads you to explore all sorts of erotic activities, and sharing your new discoveries with your bedmate serves as verbal foreplay for a night of intense lovemaking.

4.5 stars
This was a highly enjoyable book that talked about the signs in general as well as romance. It was pretty accurate (for me at least). It was well-organized into chapters about sun sign, combinations of sun signs, Moon signs, Venus signs, Mars signs, Moon/Venus and Mars/Sun.
I would buy this and re-read it for sure.
I feel bad marking this as read because I didn't read every page (I did skip some of the signs I didn't know many people from or didn't really need to read about) but I read a decent amount of it (especially the Aries stuff, of course).
I like the depth it had to include Mars & Moon signs too. One of the only improvements would have been to include ascendants too, because I have no idea what role they play in love (should you just read the 'sun' sign of your ascendant - e.g. if Libra ascendant, read Libra sun?)
All in all a really well done book. Good design, easy to read. Would recommend!

I had high hopes from this book because there are not many books dealing with sexual astrology so i thought that someone has really spent some good amount of time and invested knowledge
Frankly this book is a non starter, you will learn nothing from this book.
Avoid this book.

I learned more from twitter about astrology than I did reading book. I was very excited to read it too, bummer.

Great for basic astrology knowledge but not too in depth if you’re looking for something more advanced
skimmed
January 19, 2010I am refraining from giving this book an official rating due to the fact that there are many flaws pertaining to my actual astrology reading after I looked up my moon, sun, mars and venus signs in the complicated tables provided. The book itself looks organized and is well written, but the actual readings are nothing but vague or trying to cover both ends of a set spectrum (serious and funny, erotic and virginal). If anything was spot on with the reading related to my personality, I may actually start believing in astrology, erotic or otherwise, but alas, I have only been able to discover yet another not so accurate interpretation.
i-was-almost-a-sexologist
September 25, 2011This is a "book i will probably never read" because it's a reference book, really. And generally speaking, I try not to read those straight through. ;P
If you're looking for a review, here's one: this is vapid fun for light-hearted readings with friends. Probably over-- or after-- cocktails. There were a couple of moments where things rang eerily true for myself (and my three besties) but beyond that -- this is a coffee table book. :)
