Product Description
Chinese astrology predates its Western cousin by millennia. In this comprehensive text, Derek Walters traces the history of the tradition from its earliest records to the present and clearly explains the principles on which the art is founded. Through in-depth analysis Walters offers insight on the essential aspects of Chinese astrology: its foundation in astronomical observation, its development in historical context, and the methods used in interpreting the portents. Walters also provides comprehensive studies of popular concepts such as Feng Shui, the Chinese calendar, and divination plates. The inclusion of actual Chinese horoscopes from different periods offers an intimate, unmediated look into ancient Chinese astrology, and provides the reader with the opportunity to draw her own conclusions.

There’s a lot of information in this book (a little bit too much at times). It’s definitely not for beginners but for those die-hard Chinese astrologers.
Awesome read and still getting my head around it.
The only change that could be applied is the format… Their could be more illustrations for those who more visually oriented.
Comprehensive says it all. Very pleased with the ease of movement in finding content information since so much is given. A great working tool.
