Customer Reviews

Fantastic book!

Pamela Powers has provided all members of our family with astrological readings, in which she applies both Western and Eastern astrology and incorporates the Chinese Power Animals from this text. This book is a great overview of her unique approach, and if you want in depth information tailored to you as an individual you should contact her - you won't be disappointed!

Insightful!

The individual that gave this book a negative review doesn't write as though they read this book. I don't believe a book like this can be categorized as 'wrong' or 'right' as a whole. As someone interested in both Western and Eastern astrology, I thought this book offered a new and insightful perspective that I hadn't come across before in other books. I really found Ms. Powers information on Chinese Power Animals to be pretty amazing. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in astrology or just interested in obtaining a deeper understanding of themselves.

Rebuttle

I happened to click on to my page and read the negative review. I was sorry that the reader felt that way. Yes, in many ways it is entirely different than most Chinese Astrology books...that is one of the reasons why I wrote it. It relates to the meridian system of the 5 elements, fire, earth, metal, water, wood. Just as one person can use sidereal astrology and one can use tropical astrology and it works; each of these systems are different, but they work individually and can be synthesized together. I offer a free short 4 animal totem interpretation for readers, and I have never had one that said it wasn't right on. Yes, it's different, but it is valid.
