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:

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...
