Chinese Astrology: Plain and Simple
In addition to learning how to determine and analyze one's own horoscope under the Chinese Zodiac, this book provides readers with startling insight into friends, lovers and the individual as readers gain a deeper understanding of the forces governing interactions between people.
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 with that of the Occident (celestial), she demonstrates that each of us is governed by two signs. The New Astrology is more than a decade of research and study of the two systems.
