I did a review of his 1999 book and waited eagerly for his Y2K Feng Shui guide. I was not disappointed and was pleasantly surprised that he added some new features to make reading reference more convenient. Instead of having to flip to the back of the book to check for the meanings of the lucky and unlucky stars, like what I found in his 1999 guide, this time, he put those relevant affectations to each sign in full context at the beginning of each animal sign. This greatly helps in terms of easy reference and obviously you would imagine an increase in book thickness! Also he gives 1-4 stars ranking of important aspects for the New Lunar Year on career, money health and love, a most welcomed addition.

The only beef I have is with the publisher and all those in like that dish out books on magickal and feng shui stuff, is the absence of an email or contact address from the author. Readers who buy and read these works obviously will try to apply tips for themselves and more often than not, need clarifications on areas that puzzle or confuse them. What's worst is not having something tried and not work than doing it WRONG and inviting a host of unintended bad vibes or bad luck. So publishers be more sensitive, in this case Thorsons, try and include an email contact for this series when we reach the year 2001...that is, if that isn't already apparent in these times and age. Bookwise, a necessity!

When learning chinese astrology, you should have a guideline. That's you'll have when you read this book, although this book only give the main guide, not the detail's one. Also -- this book -- gave me another perception about how to calculate "lucky stars" which is different from what I've learn for past two years. I think this book will help all beginners and experts to practice it to their lives. Enjoy it !!!
