Chinese Astrology

Translated from the French by Peter and Tanya Leslie. The Orientals have governed their lives by the Zodiac for thousands of years before the Western World began to look for influences from the stars. Here, for the first time, Paula Delsol has brought us a survey of the multiple influences of the Oriental Zodiac. Instead of relying on the sun, as we do with our signs of the Zodiac, the Necromancers in Asiatic countries base their calculations on the moon - or rather on lunar years. As with our signs of the Zodiac the cycle is in terms of twelve... but twelve years instead of twelve months. Each year of the cycle is represented by an animal, an animal exercising an influence on the lives, destinies and characters of the human beings born that year. Chinese Astrology is a most intriguing addition to the mysterious study of the influences of the heavens. It is a book no serious student of astrology should be without - and one that will undoubtedly attract many new enthusiasts.
