Now in its fourth edition, The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes remains the definitive, classic work on this fascinating subject and artfully combines the Eastern lunar calendar with Western solar-based astrology.

Look to the future and learn how you are likely to fare in each of the years well into millennium. Read the personality profiles of East and West combinations, as well as the chapter on the 144 marriage combinations to see the relationships between the twelve lunar signs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ Handbook for those in Search of Themselves!, June 26, 1999
By A Customer
Theodora Lau is a highly knowledgeable Chinese astrologer who combines a masculine logic and feminine sensitivity to her work. Not only is she 100% accurate in her Yearly predictions for different Animal Signs but also exhibits a sense of humor and down to earth style of writing that amuses and makes you laugh. It's the only book that I'm proud of to pass around during get-togethers or parties because Lau combines the Eastern and Western Signs of Astrology which we all found sincere and true. A true psychic. I shall consider reading more books by her from now on and hope to read what is in store for the Signs in the Lunar Cycle for 2003 and beyond. She has kept her reverence for the Chinese tradition and yet at the same time has an innovative view of a western mind. I think this Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes is worth more than its price.

5.0 out of 5 stars In depth, yet accessible, March 7, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes (4th Edition) (Paperback)
I found this book to be a good combination of in-depth yet accessible information about Chinese astrology. It gives what I've found to be quite accurate information about the various animal sign of your year of birth, while getting more detailed with information about the other influences under which you are born. It's quite easy to read and follow, and entertaining as well. I would definitely recommend it. (And Lau should rewrite those awful placemats you find at the Chinese restaraunts. For years I thought I was a dragon but I'm not!)

5.0 out of 5 stars AN EXCELLENT GUIDE., November 27, 2002
This review is from: The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes (4th Edition) (Paperback)
I have only recently been elightened by the wisdom of Chinese astrology and I found this book to be very honest and real. There seem to be certain elements in Eastern astrology which are missing in the "Western" version: together they seem to make a person feel more "whole"! The knowledge of being an Earth Boar, for instance, has brought many insights about myself (and how I relate to others): it has given me invaluable insight into the way others perceive me. Before, I simply thought of myself as a wild, roaming happy-go-lucky Sagittarius. But the combo of Sag/Earth Boar is much more enlightening and satisfying (because it hits home): happy to know that I'm more grounded than I previously thought: a rather naive, fun-loving humanitarian type who sometimes eats and drinks a wee bit too much (!) Well, if the shoe fits....
