5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A straightforward presentation!, July 17, 2000

By	southbay pediatric acupuncture (Redondo Beach, Ca. USA) - See all my reviews

This book makes sense out of the often obfuscated subject of Chinese Astrology! Dr. Twicken has the gift of condensing information without losing any, and of bringing in pertinent information from many systems! I have discarded my piles of books on the subject, most of whose calendars were incorrect, or whose pages had missing info, like the "secret recipes" your aunt gives you, that turn out to be missing an ingredient. Dr. Twicken's book has been much needed. I hope to see more from him!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classical...Understandable...Fantastic!, July 17, 2000

By	Dorothy (New York) - See all my reviews

David Twicken's book "Classical Five Element Chinese Astrology Made Easy" is an excellent book on the4 Pillars of Destiny Astrology. Especially for the Western student not familiar with the Chinese language, it makes it so much easier to understand this fascinating art. For beginners, it will easily walk you through the steps for calculating a natal chart. For the person already studying 4 Pillars, it can provide some additional techniques for analysis. Excellent job, David!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I know of on 5 element astrology, July 12, 2000

By	Greg108 (Los Angeles, CA. USA) - See all my reviews

This book more than any other I have ever read actually delivered the goods. I was able to put into practice the principles of 5 element astrology without refering to other books, and without banging my head against the wall of confusing presentations of similar material. It is simply the best source for the practical application of this ancient, and until now hidden Chinese tradition. If you want to learn and put into practice traditional Chinese 5 element astrology, then this book is a must. It creates a whole new benchmark for books on the subject. I recommend it without reservation. If you are a serious student or just curious you cannot go wrong here. I look forward to other books from this same author.
