By combining the astrological systems of the traditional Chinese (terrestrial) with that of the occident (celestial), White demonstrates that every person is governed by two signs--such as a Capricorn Tiger or a Leo Dog.

The Best, September 14, 2003

I'm a professional astrologer/card reader and have been for 20 years. I read this book when it first came out and slowly integrated a tiny bit of its info into my readings. Now, 15 years later, I begin every reading with "What is your date of birth?" When my client says August, 1960 and then tells me her boyfriend was born in February, 1954 I know instantly that she's a Rat and he's a Horse, two of the most incompatible signs ever to lay thier heads on the same pillow. And when Ms. Rat goes on to describe how selfish Mr. Horse is and tells me how she lays awake at night chewing her nails because he borrowed her car and her insurance bill is two days late, well. . . I can help her see that it isn't him or her, it's the connection. Because of what I've learned from this book, I know to steer her toward an easier, less stressful alliance with an equally nervous Monkey or a powerful, protective Dragon.
It is nothing less than a FACT that Suzanne White SINGLE HANDEDLY popularized Chinese Astrology in America. Other authors (90% of whom made it to the bookshelf in her wake) may describe the topic in more depth, but they certainly haven't made Chinese Astrology easier to understand nor have they made it easier to apply to life. I know. I've read every book published on the subject and there is none better than Suzanne White's glorious, orginal, powerful New Astrology. Buy it and grow wiser.

 

The definitive guide on getting to know someone quick, June 25, 2003

I have often read this book after getting to know someone and have been amazed at how close it was...then kicked myself for not reading up on the person before I got too involved with them - could have saved me some rough roads maybe!

When I read mine, it was like someone looking over my shoulder and into my head. Kind of spooky really. I have found that sometimes a particular combination didn't fit, but it was usually if they were on a cusp and if I read their cusp sign with their Chinese sign, it was usually much closer or I could pick out traits in each.

There was some things in my own combo that weren't currently true but were in the past. Really an amazing book and Suzanne is really funny in her delivery of the information! It feels like she's sitting across from you chatting away. Makes it easy to read. She's obviously a very intelligent and witty. First writer I've ever wanted to actually meet.
