Based on 60-year cycles of the lunar calendar, Chinese astrology came into popular use almost 5,000 years ago. It is said to reflect "the animal hidden in your heart" and to determine an individual's distinguishing characteristics, fortunes, marital prospects, future events, and more. Published to coincide with the Millennium Year of the Dragon, Simple Chinese Astrology makes this exacting science and art of divination and personality analysis accessible to western readers. Author Damian Sharp covers everything from which year is best for investments to which zodiac sign pairings are most conducive to marital bliss. Simple Chinese Astrology can also be used to analyze the horoscopes of corporations, countries, marriages, and contracts. Enlightening and entertaining, this book is an ideal guide to finding all the love, happiness, and success under the stars.
