The UK version was distributed around the world; find it in Australia via QBD Books, France via LaLibrarie.com, Türkiye via Urban Outfitters, Nigeria via Roving Heights Books, Aruba via Desertcart, and Slovkia via Knihimol.

From what sex positions will have you ascending, to the turn-ons that'll make more than just the moon rise, as well sex toys, masturbation tips and more - this little book has big astrology energy.”</image:caption>
