In this wickedly funny guide, professional astrologer Hazel Dixon-Cooper casts off sugar-coated astrology in favor of exploring the maladjusted side of the universe. If you want the inside scoop, the real deal, the lowdown on each sun sign, then look no further.
It's time to forget those traditional astrology books where Sagittarians are gregarious, Capricorns are ambitious, and Pisceans are dreamers. Instead, enter a world where Archers are loud-mouthed bores, Goats are pompous social climbers, and Fish are chronically helpless. Dixon-Cooper debunks the myths, reveals the flaws, and examines the dubious virtues of each sun sign. Discover how to use your own inner brat to outwit bullies, outmaneuver manipulators, and win those endless games that lovers play. Learn how to deal with those dysfunctional people you encounter every day, including how to:
Irreverent, biting, and laugh-out-loud funny, Born on a Rotten Day exaggerates the bad, exorcises the good, and puts a new spin on the age-old question -- what's your sign?

Jonathan CainerBritain's No. 1 newspaper astrologerIt made me laugh.
Suzanne Whitenovelist and creator of The New AstrologyDixon-Cooper reveals what every astrologer knows but none has ever dared say. Born on a Rotten Day takes us on a seriously humorous ride through the land of truth and consequences. I highly recommend it to anyone who has chosen to go on living and prefers to do so intelligently.

Living by the lower octave......
This is a wonderful, truthful "Eye of God" look into the 12 Astrological signs with a great sense of humor attached to it. As an Astrologer myself, I often secretly cringe when someone tells me their sign.....Although I want to assume they live from the higher octave of that sign, I know that most people do not and it usually seems to play out just as Hazel describes. There is great fun in reading this book and I enjoyed it thoroughly. But what comes through also, is that the peculiarities of each sign is what gives us a world of excitement and interest. If everyone were perfect, it would not be half as much fun...This makes a wonderful stocking stuffer or gift to anyone who has to deal with others or would just like to figure them out. We all need a bird's eye view once in a while and especially, to look at ourselves without the rose colored glasses!!!
Great book and I laughed all the way through it.
This book not only makes you laugh out loud but also brings to light the truth about our signs. I read my boyfriend's and it was right on the money. I read mine and my goodness I've been exposed. LOL This is a fun book. I highly recommend it.
Incredibly Honest, Incredibly True!!!
I've never believed very much in astrology, but this great book really opened my mind!!! I've always known I'm fickle, untidy, double-faced, alert, smart, a big book reader and a child for eternity, but I really didn't know these were all characteristics of my sign, Gemini!!! It's impressive how it accurately describes the good and bad traits of my personality and of my relatives personalities (e.g. Hazel says Virgos are famous for being nitpicky, and they could spend hours explaining you some interesting things like how to hang the toilet paper in the correct way! My father's a Virgo, and he's just finished explaining me how to push the button to turn on and off the bulbs properly!!! Is this just a coincidence?) You'll be amazed by this book! BUY IT!!! BUY IT!!! P.S. GEMINI RULES!!!
