Right on the Mark!

In 33 years, I've read many books pertaining to this subject. I've never seen a book that is more true to the mark. I'm a wood tiger myself, and I must say Horses and Dogs are my best friends ever! I have three children a pig, a tiger, and a dragon. I'm married to a rat and this book is so accurate. So much in fact that my children have picked up on these revelations and they know who is most compatible with them. I've used this in working with teams of people professionally in order to play to everyone's strengths and weaknesses and I've been #1 in my chosen field every time! Get the book and pay whatever you have to!

Did someone call you a Dog today?

Before you snarl, bare your teeth and assume your attack position, please note that January 29, 2006 is the first day of the Year of the Dog in the Chinese calendar, and that it runs until February 16, 2007. If by chance, you were born between the following dates, then doggone it - they were right about you all along. Dog years: Jan 28, 1922 - Feb 15, 1923 Feb 14, 1934 - Feb 3, 1935 Feb 2, 1946 - Jan 21, 1947 Feb 18, 1958 - Feb 7, 1959 Feb 6, 1970 - Jan 26, 1971 Jan 25, 1982 - Feb 12, 1983 Feb 10, 1994 - Jan 30, 1995 If you're older than this you can have someone look it up for you, but if you're younger, you're not a part of this litter of pups. This interesting book is a great starter course on Chinese horoscopes. It's simple and fun to read, with lots of pictures and charts. It has pages and pages of information for each personality - rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig - including your element (metal, water, wood, fire and earth); your health; career; wealth; likes and dislikes; parent/child relationships; love partners; a comparison with your Western zodiac sign and famous people born in your animal sequence. I have learned, for example, that Arthur Miller, King Henry V, Orson Welles and Billie Holiday are my Rabbit kin, and that theoretically at least, my son and I are on the same wavelength. This book is worth reading just for the entertainment value, and would make a great gift for each of your friends, to prevent them from borrowing yours for extended periods.

Easy and Understandable, all my friends love it!

After purchasing this book and reading all about myself, I had to share this with my friends, who loved it! Its easy to understand, and I loved the tie in to the elements, and the little charts that described who love, friendship, and business matches. Great illustrations throughout. A fantastic book at a great price!!
