  We consider axially symmetric, rotating boson stars. Their flat space limits
represent spinning Q-balls. We discuss their properties and determine their
domain of existence. Q-balls and boson stars are stationary solutions and exist
only in a limited frequency range. The coupling to gravity gives rise to a
spiral-like frequency dependence of the boson stars. We address the flat space
limit and the limit of strong gravitational coupling. For comparison we also
determine the properties of spherically symmetric Q-balls and boson stars.
