Product Description

Synopsis

This guide brings Chinese astrology back to its ancient roots, providing all the information you need for understanding one of the world's oldest systems of divination. Taoist Astrology differs from other books on the subject by grounding its concepts in the ancient traditions from which it originated. This book includes information for each sign's personality, compatibility, child-parent relations and rising and falling fortunes during the 12 year cycle. Discussions of yin and yang, Confucianism and Buddhism, Taoist alchemy and the connection between Taoist astrology and Western astrology, give you all the background you need for understanding one of the oldest systems of divination known to humanity.


From the Author

The Way of the Animals
"TAOIST ASTROLOGY is a must on the well-rounded astrological bookshelf." - Ruth Segner, New Age Retailer, January/February 1998

"Clear, thorough, and beautifully written, TAOIST ASTROLOGY will satisfy anyone from the beginner to the most accomplished scholar." - Seann Xenja, feng shui consultant and educator.

"A lucid and penetrating foray into the mysteries of Taoist natural science. The material is presented with a dynamic animism that breathes such life into the characters that they virtually leap from the page. Levitt and Tang have clearly created the reference standard for anyone interested in the profound study of Asian astrology, medicine,and psychology." - John Mini, Chinese medicine practioner and licensed acupunturist.

As a professional astrologer, whenever I did relationship compatibility charts, the deciding factor was whether or not the Taoist animal signs were compatible. Most clients knew little about the Taoist system, so I wrote a pamphlet about the animal signs. When I taught Goddess Spirituality classes, students were interested in learning their animal totems. (A simple way to know your animal totem is through your Taoist animal sign based on your birth year.) The students were so excited about the twelve animal signs that they asked me to write a book.

In 1992 I started to write TAOIST ASTROLOGY with Jean Tang in response to my students' enthusiasm. I began with important historical background about the development of 5,000 years of Chinese culture as influenced by Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. I wrote extensively about each of the twelve animal signs and included detailed information about the five Taoist elements. I have been a student of traditional Chinese medicine since 1983, which is how I learned five element theory. I chose to write to the highest common denomimator to inspire intelligent discussion and reflection.

I started college as an Asian Studies major at age 17, and 25 years later I am blessed to be writing and teaching on the sacred art and science of Taoist astrology. After 5,000 years, Westerners are realizing the value of wisdom from the East.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shockingly accurate!, 20 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I couldn't believe how accurate the descriptions are of all 60 animal signs! I am born in the year of the Yellow Dog, and the authors even pegged my medical problem, that being stomach ailments for the element earth (the color yellow). As a manager in corporate America, I have used this book as reference to determine the Taoist character traits of my employees. This easy to reference handbook has greatly assisted me in building a successful team. I highly recommend this book for those who lead others because it gives practical insights on how to manage different personalities within a group.

By A Customer
Thank you for this exceptional guide to the twelve animal signs. This is the only book I have ever read that so clearly explains the five elements of Asian astrology. It is explicit, colorful, very detailed, insightful, and obviously well researched. Highly recommended!!
