5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful!, September 15, 2006

This review is from: Chinese Power Animals: Archetypes of Transformation (Paperback)

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.

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.
