Like many people, I can't resist reading my horoscope in the newspaper every morning though I don't take it too seriously. Having been born under the feline sign of the Chinese Zodiac, I decided that it would be interesting to have a peek into the future and so I discovered Lillian and Jennifer Too's Fortune & Feng Shui series at the local bookstore.

There is one book dedicated to each of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac. The one for the Tiger is divided into 3 sections. The first part discusses male & female tiger personalities, the differences that the four elements (water, earth, fire, wood) create and love compatibility between the Tiger and the other signs. The second section covers the Tiger's outlook for 2008 and month-to-month predictions in the areas of career, business, romance, family and education. The last section gives feng shui advice to enhance and improve the Tiger's luck.

This book assumes that the reader has some knowledge of feng shui as the authors sometimes do not explain some terms. I found the feng shui part of the book a bit confusing too since, for example, it says that the North is an excellent direction for the Tiger yet should not sit facing North. Overall, the book is interesting and I love the illustrations, which are pictures of beautiful and intricate paper cuts. Are the advice and predictions working? Well, since living with a couple of pack rats makes it difficult to get rid of the clutter, I have to content myself with displaying and/or wearing some of the suggested good fortune enhancers. It doesn't hurt helping luck come your way.
