I think the Chinese have developed wonderfully sophisticated systems of Astrology, Feng Shui, and Healing among other things. I'd never come to this opinion from reading this book, however. I found it to be simplistic and shallow in it's content. The delineations are more surface descriptions minus compassionate, psychological insight. If I had flipped through it at a store or library first I would most definitely placed it back on the shelf. Sorry, it just wasn't for me.

This is the best book I've read on Chinese Horoscope.

Before, I simply thought of myself as ... Read More

I found this book to be a good combination of in-depth yet accessible information about Chinese astrology.

It's quite easy to read and follow, and entertaining as well. I would definitely recommend it. (And Lau should rewrite those awful placemats you find at the Chinese restaraunts. For years I ...

Most Chinese kids grow up knowing from a very early age what sign they are born under. If you lose your temper, it is attributed to the yang side of your nature; if you don't get along with your mum, it is because your signs conflict; if you succeed in school, it is because you are born under an intelligent sign, and so on. Under Theodora Lau's guidance, feel free to delegate all responsibility for your actions - she provides a very good summary of the "basic" attributes of each sign as it is understood ... Read More
