Chinese Astrology Signs & Horoscopes

AWESOME! - I LOVE this book!!!! Every time I pull it out, people are amazed at how uncannily accurate it is! The only ones who do not seem to agree are the ones the book depicts in a basically overall negative light... which has not covered many people in my encounters. I have had people read it and rush to get their own copy. The thing I find so uncanny is that this horoscope book is not limited to 12 category of people... it covers 144 categories and with accuracy.
 

Sun Signs PLUS! (Even MORE specific!) - Instead of just covering Western Astrology and Sun Signs pertaining to the time of year you were born, this books ADDS Eastern Astrology in which it is the YEAR you were born that determines your sign.

This book takes personality traits from BOTH types of Astrology and COMBINES them to give you a MORE ACCURATE personality trait!

Thus, two people of the same Sun Sign, who do have slightly different personalities, because they were born in different years, can be given their own more specific Astrology "Sign".

It also explains how two people with different Sun Signs are alike in some ways because they were born in the same year.

If you are like me, and don't like the books with too much hard to understand charts and technical talk that reads like some mathematic algebra formulas, you will appreciate this book, it is an easy to read and understand for everyone book, especially those of us that don't know how to draw up "star charts" and such.

This book is a very simple way to find each person's combination of signs, then read the personality traits for that person.

Both Cat and Rabbit are right - Many people complained that the book wrongly used the Cat in place of the Rabbit, well you are all wrong, sort of. The Chinese, Japanese and Korean have the Rabbit as one of their 12 astrological animals, but the Vietnamese, Cambodian and probably the Thai used the Cat, not the Rabbit. Remember that Suzanne White first became interested in Eastern astrology when she first met a Vietnamese sage in Paris, France in the seventies. So both the Cat and Rabbit are right.

CHINESE ASTROLOGY AS IT APPLIES TO REAL PEOPLE - This book is one of Suzanne White's absolutely best efforts at making us aware of who we are and how we behave thanks to our Chinese signs. It's full of anecdotes about real people who are Monkeys or Horses or Pigs and who actually act like their signs. There's no mumbo jumbo astro talk here. The New Chinese Astrology is chockablock with information - and it's fun to read. This book is a permanent part of my self-help library. Get it today. You won't be sorry you did.
 

The Best Book on Astrology Ever Written in Human History! ...or at least I think so. And some people say I'm awful smart. The book divides us humans into twelve categories. Each category corresponds to an animal. Then we are all divided into five more categories. These are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. So all of humanity is divided into sixty categories .If I can be serious for a moment, which isn't easy sometimes, this is a very good book for business and human relationships. It is not the definitive book on business and human relationships. It has to be used properly. In a fashion to understand others and situations. Not to judge, moralize, or condemn. I do think that Suzanne White is the best astrologer alive. I think that I have explored all the popular writers in the last thirty years. The very best book on the subject, I still believe, is Suzanne White's "The New Astrology." That book and this book make a good team if used with discretion. In this book, we are entirely exposed to the subject of "Chinese" Astrology. She gives a description of the twelve animals. This is further divided into the sixty when we add the elements. She gives a future outlook for all animals up to the year 2008. The book is large. Over 500 pages. This is mainly because of the range. By this, I mean that one can use this text for fun or for very serious matters. The range of this book is what I think separates it from other Chinese astrology books that I have seen. Some are "cute." Some take themselves deadly serious. This book is versatile. It's also a bit hard-hitting. The author doesn't believe in pulling punches in regards to her descriptions of personality types. Nor is she careful in sparing our feelings in regards to our relationships. She describes one relationship of mine as a "catastrophe." It is this clarity and the versatility which make this and "The New Astrology" good fine texts for business and professional people who simply don't want to get into "all that." Namely, astrology. For those who believe that astrology does indeed hold something that is valuable and useful, but who don't want to examine why, I can think of no other author who can help us. Help us to get into the "real stuff" of the subject while not getting our hands dirty with "the stars." Buy this book and "The New Astrology." Don't tell anybody that you do put any value on astrology. And consult them when you feel that some insight is necessary. Thank you and keep clean and do right.

My favorite - "If you want a real book on Chinese Horoscopes, check something else out." I did. In fact I checked out about 20 other books on Chinese Astrology and none of them are as good as this book. Although I have a couple which are more detailed with charts and so on and are better for understanding the technical aspects on Chinese Astrology.

This book concentrates more on the character description of the twelve animal signs. Suzanne White has a very personal way of describing the characters, but that makes it easier to identify to it. Of course you could describe the signs very impersonally, like a fortune cookie is written, but then again she calls her book the NEW Chinese Astrology which already indicates that it is somehow different than other books. I find the personal way of describing the characters actually more helpful. You realize this more over the years. But despite of that, this book is very accurate and Suzanne White really knows Chinese Astrology. I also highly recommend Suzanne White's book "The New Astrology" which combines Eastern and Western Astrology.

Great Book for Anyone Interested in Chinese Horoscopes
This book will take anyone through the process of creating a horoscope in the Chinese Zodiac. No outside information is needed - everything is in the book!

Amazingly accurate - I didn't really know what to expect when I picked up this book, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. Not only does it provide you with all the information you want to know about the twelve animal signs and animal compatibility, but it also provides you with additional more specific readings related to the month and hour of your birth, your life's path according to the sixty-year cycle, and other interesting things like the "noble good fortune stars", "yearly gods" and "career stars" (indicating where your natural talent lies in terms of work). It may seem a bit overwhelming with all the charts, but if you patiently follow the instructions, which are very clear, you can easily find the relevant information and reading for your horoscope. I was surprised how accurate my reading was.

A beautiful introduction to Eastern horoscopes - This is a very attractive book that covers a lot of ground in Chinese astrology. It's based on the familiar twelve animals, of course, but it makes a point of noting that the cycle actually continues for 60 years rather than 12, with each animal being linked in turn with one of the five Chinese elements--you may know that you were born in the Year of the Ram, but are you a Prosperous Ram, a Lonely Ram or a Ram Respected by Others?

The book also includes information on your birth hour, birth day and birth month (by the Chinese lunar calendar)--there's information in here on how your month interacts with your year, making Chinese astrology more dynamic than it sometimes is presented. Various combination of hour, month and year give you such interesting sidelights as your Career Star, your Animal Bone Fortune and your Yearly God.

There's not much about the theory or philosophy behind Chinese astrology, which may be good or bad depending on your point of view. I took off a star from my rating because there are a couple of typos in the charts that make them a bit confusing--you can figure out what they're supposed to say, but hopefully these will be caught in later editions. Still, I recommend this book as a good introduction to the subject, and an excellent gift choice.
