Customer Reviews

The book is in fair condition!

I am big into astrology but this book disappointed unfortunately. It is so far off regarding signs when it comes to explaining any sign. Not one sign I looked up where it incorporates the Chinese sign with the American zodiac does it resonate with anyone I know on any sign. Not as good or insightful as I had hoped it to be!

Two systems put together for understand

This book is very important to have if you want to know the energy from both systems of astrology. It combines them easily.

Love! Love! Love this book! Couldn't put it down!

When I first got this book, I knew it was going to be good, based upon how thick the book was. Definitely ate. left no crumbs. Even has the correct year for Cat. There is no rabbit year. Its VERY detailed. I loved every moment of it. Would buy it for any level of enjoyment.

The BEST astrology book...ever!

I've read many astrology books, but this one, by combining the two disciplines, is right on the money. A friend and I have the same birthday, but she is a Cancer-Snake and I'm a Cancer-Dragon. Talk about hitting us BOTH absolutely right-on! Absolutely amazing. Reading up on "world leaders" would sure simplify negotiation tactics. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to "know" who they're dealing with.

The Best

I'm a professional astrologer/card reader and have been for 20 years. I read this book when it first came out and slowly integrated a tiny bit of its info into my readings. Now, 15 years later, I begin every reading with "What is your date of birth?" When my client says August, 1960 and then tells me her boyfriend was born in February, 1954 I know instantly that she's a Rat and he's a Horse, two of the most incompatible signs ever to lay thier heads on the same pillow. And when Ms. Rat goes on to describe how selfish Mr. Horse is and tells me how she lays awake at night chewing her nails because he borrowed her car and her insurance bill is two days late, well. . . I can help her see that it isn't him or her, it's the connection. Because of what I've learned from this book, I know to steer her toward an easier, less stressful alliance with an equally nervous Monkey or a powerful, protective Dragon. It is nothing less than a FACT that Suzanne White SINGLE HANDEDLY popularized Chinese Astrology in America. Other authors (90% of whom made it to the bookshelf in her wake) may describe the topic in more depth, but they certainly haven't made Chinese Astrology easier to understand nor have they made it easier to apply to life. I know. I've read every book published on the subject and there is none better than Suzanne White's glorious, orginal, powerful New Astrology. Buy it and grow wiser.

The definitive guide on getting to know someone quick

I have often read this book after getting to know someone and have been amazed at how close it was...then kicked myself for not reading up on the person before I got too involved with them - could have saved me some rough roads maybe! When I read mine, it was like someone looking over my shoulder and into my head. Kind of spooky really. I have found that sometimes a particular combination didn't fit, but it was usually if they were on a cusp and if I read their cusp sign with their Chinese sign, it was usually much closer or I could pick out traits in each.There was some things in my own combo that weren't currently true but were in the past. Really an amazing book and Suzanne is really funny in her delivery of the information! It feels like she's sitting across from you chatting away. Makes it easy to read. She's obviously a very intelligent and witty. First writer I've ever wanted to actually meet.

Surprise! Chinese/Western Zodiac fits a skeptic

While looking for a referece book one day, I found a book of Chinese zodiac written by a Caucasian woman. "Hmmph," I thought, "What does she know about Chinese astrology! If other people's horescope fits my life, then she's an idiot." So I read, the year of the ox, pig, rat, tiger, dragon, and none of them fits mine. "Wow,it can't be." But it was, the year of the snake fits me almost perfectly. Since then, I'm a Suzanne White fan. My friends enjoy reading about themselves & about their spouse. The book is good in that: a) reveals your strength and weakness, b)demonstrates strength in one situation can be a weakness in the next (real life) c) shows the profession best suited to your friends and how many of them are actually in that profession, d)how the love, family, business, home, decoration, personality profiles fit you. The book probably works best if you read your horescope to your friends & family, "sometimes,one is not the best judge of self." Surprising this book even accurately points out friends who had a drug history. Simply put, this book nailed too many things down to be completely coincidental. Overall, this books is fun, informative, & insightful. Sincerely, Jenny Santo
