This simple yet comprehensive guide to using the ancient Chinese system of horoscopes has a classic beauty of design yet is supple enough to embrace the multiplicity of modern human experience. Gerry Maguire Thompson shows how the animal-year sign cycle is enmeshed with a repeating cycle of the five elements, and how this in turn is modified by the hour-of-birth cycle. Includes extensive year charts as well as sections for each animal sign, the relationship potential between signs, and how to work out astrological influences for years to come.
