Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: Aries, Taurus
Aries folk are what you might call provocateurs. Ram types love an argument. A beatdown? Even better. Up for any challenge, any opponent, any time, anywhere: whu, nigga, what? Real rah-rah. The trigger first, politic later type.



Book Description

With Astrology Uncut, the language of the stars meets the code of the streets, the zodiac goes gangsta, and you find out how the day you were born makes you Superfly or Superfreak. Whether you're a schizophrenic Scorpio like Ol' Dirty Bastard, Capricorn cool like Mary J. Blige, or a prideful Leo cat like Jennifer Lopez, this post-hiphop manifesto dishes out the good, the bad, and everything in between—from why you gossip so damn much (communication rules Geminis!) to why you are likely to cry while watching Oprah (sensitive Cancers). You will also discover your sign's

• booty rating (none, onion, or badoonkadoonk?)
• worst-case scenario (Virgo: postsurgery Michael Jackson; Aries: Suge Knight?)
• favorite accessory (mirror or money counter?)
• erogenous zone (your office or your mama's bed?)
• mix tape (music by and for cats under their sun sign)
• moment (Capricorn Frazier knocking out Capricorn Ali or Libran Cochran rhyming in the courtroom?)

Written by former editors of The Source and Honey, this is the no-holds-barred astrological guide to ghettobility—a combination of mental fitness, trifeness, and street smarts. It tells you the real deal on your sign's personality in a way that no other astrology book can.
