Product Description:
Though the practice of astrology is many centuries old, it is only perhaps once in a generation that a thoroughly new, totally original way of looking at the zodiac is discovered. The New Astrology is such a system.For those convinced that there is nothing new under the sun--or the stars--Suzanne White offers a startling and provocative thesis: There are not 12 but 144 signs of the zodiac, each distinct, each unique, each vital to everyone's quest for self-understanding.By combining the astrological systems of the traditional Chinese (terrestrial) with that of the Occident (celestial), Suzanne White demonstrates that each of us is governed by two signs. Hence, a Capricorn Tiger is likely to be quite different from a Capricorn Cat, as is a Leo Dog from a Leo Dragon, and so on. This unique blend of Western and Chinese Astrology gives detailed analyses of each of the 144 signs, including individualized sections of love, sex and romance, business, money, careers, home life and compatibility (or lack of it) with other signs.Already a best-seller in France, The New Astrology is a massive undertaking and the result of more than a decade of research and study of the two systems. It offers insights into not only our own lives, but also those of all who are close to us. Suzanne White's prose is lucid, candid, and suffused with a sense of fun, but The New Astrology is above all a serious tool for self-awareness and understand the rich variety of human nature all around us.

I expected a good reference book comparing & combinging the two astrology systems & what I got was a simple horoscope with no substance or explaination behind it. Very disappointing when you consider her works. She could have done so much more.

This book contains 90% very accurate descriptions of characters and personality of the 12 chinese signs x the 12 western signs. I got this book many years ago, and it is accurate when I read her readings for my father, sisters and friends. I would say I find her description to be 90% accurate, I think the 10% deviation may be factoring in environmental influence (eg. if she says this person likes to dress up or vain, but sometimes if the person is brought up in a family or culture that doesn't support ...

I had a copy of this book several years ago, loaned it out and never got it back, so when I found it on Amazon I reordered it. Very pleased with Amazon as always. In a nutshell, it combines eastern astrology's signs based on what year you were born and western signs which rely on the month. The book itself is well organized, easy to navigate, informative, and entertaining. About the only drawback was that it lacks the indepth compatibility comparisons common to most of these types of books. You won't find ... Read More

I thought I just had a bad copy of the book or something when I was reading her definitions of yin and yang, and I've also never seen the Dog classified as yin. In ALL other material I have seen or read about yin/yang (which is considerable since I studied Taoism for years) yin is known to be feminine, dark, moist, contractive, connected to the moon. Yang is known to be masculine, bright, dry, expansive, connected to the sun. And as another reviewer farther down the line noted, her associations between ... Read More
