Book Description

June 16, 1997
Are you and your partner always quarreling, for no apparent reason?  Could it be that one of you is a Dragon and the other a Dog?

If you were looking for a creative person to work for you, would it help to know their birth year?  Someone born in the Year of the Monkey would be a strong choice.

Were you born in the Year of the Rooster?  Maybe it's no surprise that your closest friends are a Horse and a Rabbit.

The Chinese Horoscopes Guide to Relationships is a fascinating guide to the secrets of the astrological system that has been practiced in China for years.  By identifying the people in your life--business associates, family members, teachers, friends, lovers, and spouses--through their respective signs, you will gain valuable insight into their personalities and aptitudes, their quirks and proclivities.  More important, you will discover how your own sign and its traits affect how you get along with others born under different signs.  At long last, you will have the astrological explanations as to why you can be so compatible with one person yet so completely at odds with someone else.  

Theodora Lau was born in Shanghai and lived with her husband and two children in Hong Kong before moving to California, where she is presently settled.  She is the author of The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes, now in its third edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars For people who are not superstitious, it will amaze them ., August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Chinese Horoscopes Guide to Relationship (Paperback)
I'm not an astrological fanatic, however it's really intriguing to me how accuarte this book was. My brother was the initial owner of the previous addition which was wonderful- My family was so intrigues that after eleven signs testes with people in our family- at the end, we all agreed that all were virtually accurate. Recently, I went to the bookstore to buy the new edition- which was essentially the same. Naturally, I thought that maybe the yearly advice for each animal would be different since the change in years- this was not true however. The book, if you do not own it - is probably the most accurate thing out there, however- it does not pay to get both editions. -enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A small garden with twelve types of people on each tree..., June 3, 2005
By 
Melanie H. (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chinese Horoscopes Guide to Relationship (Paperback)
Lau explains chinese astrological theory in plain language. She is direct, very matter-of-fact, and does not soften the truth. She is democratic and does not show favor to any given branch/sign as some other authors of astrology books often do. And the most phenomenal thing about this book is how ACCURATE it is. It's very helpful in understanding human relationships (romantic, professional, short-term/long-term) and why some work with little to no effort and others may or may not work depending on the efforts each party is willing to put in. By the end, you'll have a new appreciation for people and their beautiful differences no matter how weird they may seem at times. Relationships make the world go 'round.

I received this book as a birthday gift and am very pleased with my friend's choice. Great book!
