The Most Comprehensive Study of the Subject Ever Published in the English Language.
A new revised edition of a core work. 'Chinese Astrology' was the first comprehensive study of this fascinating subject to be made available in a Western language.
The Chinese have practised astrology for many thousands of years - they had compiled a systematic method of observing and interpreting the heavens long before contact had been made with the Western world.
Derek Walters, Europe's foremost authority on Chinese astrology, traces the history of Chinese astrology from its earliest records to the present and explains the principles on which the art is founded. He examines the essential aspects of the subject: its foundation in astronomical observation, its development in historical context and the methods used in interpreting the portents. He brings the subject to life by including a number of actual Chinese horoscopes from different periods.
An important feature of this new edition is the inclusion of the Tzu Wei system which forms the basis for the latest computerised Chinese horoscopes.
