From Library Journal

White ( The New Astrology , 1986, St. Martin's) explains in her latest book the ancient art of Chinese astrology while at the same time sharing some of her varied life experiences as a model and seller of fireworks. While her previous book combined Western and Chinese astrology, gaining her a reputation as an astrologer, this one provides a basis for understanding astrology in terms of Chinese animal signs based on character descriptions, with some signs based on the author's own life. White's combination of the traditional and the personal makes the book enjoyable reading and gives insight into the development, characteristics, future, and compatibilities of the Chinese signs. This will be an informative book for popular library collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth more than money, January 4, 2000

By	Jeri (Chicago) - See all my reviews

Those who are cranky about the lack of technical astrology in White's books should keep in mind that a reading is only as good as the interpreter! White obviously knows people and personalities, and her opinion is what I paid the money for. If you want a manual, for heaven's sake, by a darned manual.

But if you want a ready and accurate reference to your personal astrological tendencies or someone else's, this is a very worthwhile and absorbing volume. I have her "New Astrology" book and like it, but this book gives more detailed descriptions, and her intuition is uncanny. If you want to be clued in to what you've been up to all your life, buy this book. She described me, my husband and our marriage gratifyingly, and I re-read it time to time for a refresher. Suzanne is a unique and fabulous talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book on Astrology Ever Written in Human History!, November 10, 2001

By	Bill Butler "Bill Butler" (Tarzana, Ca. USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

...or at least I think so. And some people say I'm awful smart.
The book divides us humans into twelve categories. Each
category corresponds to an animal. Then we are all divided into five more categories. These are wood, fire, earth, metal, and
water. So all of humanity is divided into sixty categories.
If I can be serious for a moment, which isn't easy sometimes,
this is a very good book for business and human relationships.
It is not the definitive book on business and human relationships. It has to be used properly. In a fashion to understand others and situations. Not to judge,
moralize, or condemn. I do think that Suzanne White is the
best astrologer alive. I think that I have explored all the popular writers in the last thirty years. The very best book
on the subject, I still believe, is Suzanne White's "The New Astrology." That book and this book make a good team if used with discretion. In this book, we are entirely exposed to the
subject of "Chinese" Astrology. She gives a description
of the twelve animals. This is further divided into the sixty
when we add the elements. She gives a future outlook for
all animals up to the year 2008. The book is large. Over 500
pages. This is mainly because of the range. By this, I mean that one can use this text for fun or for very serious matters.
The range of this book is what I think seperates it from other
Chinese astrology books that I have seen. Some are "cute."
Some take themselves deadly serious. This book is versatile.
It's also a bit hard-hitting. The author doesn't believe in pulling punches in regards to her descriptions of personality types. Nor is she careful in sparing our feelings in regards
to our relationships. She descibes one relationship of mine as
a "catastrophe." It is this clarity and the versatility which
make this and "The New Astrology" good fine texts for business
and professional people who simply don't want to get into "all that." Namely, astrology. For those who believe that astrology
does indeed hold something that is valuable and useful, but
who don't want to examine why, I can think of no other author who can help us. Help us to get into the "real stuff" of the
subject while not getting our hands dirty with "the stars."
Buy this book and "The New Astrology." Don't tell anybody that you do put any value on astrology. And consult them when you feel that
some insight is necessary. Thank you and keep clean and do right.

5.0 out of 5 stars CHINESE ASTROLOGY FAVORITE, February 3, 2000

By	TOMEKA CARR (BALTIMORE, MARYLAND) - See all my reviews

I DEEPLY APPRECIATED THIS BOOK. I WAS VERY AMAZED AT THE ACCURACY WITH WHICH MS.WHITE ASSOCIATES HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS WITH EACH OF THE ANIMAL SIGNS IN THE CHINESE ZODIAC. SHE EXPLAINS THE INNER DEPTHS OF THE HUMAN CHARACTERISTIC WITH ACCURACY AND PRECISION. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT MS.WHITE IS A TRUE STUDENT OF ANCIENT ASTROLOGY. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING TO UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES AND THE ACTIONS OF LOVED ONES AND ENEMIES. GO OUT AND BUT IT TODAY!
