5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book about Chinese sky chart, palmistry etc., September 21, 2000

By	Ong Xua (New York, U.S.A) - See all my reviews

Chinese sky chart (Zi wei dou shu) is practiced within Chinese community all over the world but is never mentioned in any Western literature, this is the only book in English which gives a clear and easy-to-understand analysis of this complicated technique. Buy it, if you want to know the authentic Chinese astrology method used by most Chinese people, it's amazing, not like the other methods you have heart of. The palmistry section is very detailed with many graphics to show you the lines of your hand. A very good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book about Chinese sky chart (tu vi), October 29, 2000

By	George (California) - See all my reviews

Chinese sky chart opened my eyes to the real Chinese astrology, this method is widely used by the Chinese and Vietnamese communities, but I have never read any English book about it, because there aren't any on the market until this one. There are so many and many Chinese astrology books talking about the Chinese horoscope of the 12 animal signs, it's time for a real one -- the Chinese sky chart. Bravo! The Chinese way of reading the face is also very special.
