"He who knows others is learned. He who knows himself is wise."
--Lao-Tzu
The quest for self-knowledge has been a universal human pursuit for
millenniums. Who are we? And could our destiny be written in the stars?
Why do some commit their wings to life's flames, while others tiptoe
through life so cautiously? In a quest for answers to these questions,
there has been an explosion of renewed interest in Chinese astrology.
Awareness of our essential nature provides insight into our most
intimate relationships...and into ourselves.
Chinese Astrology: Exploring the Eastern Zodiac/i> explains our
"natural endowment" or "inner being"--our personality from the

personality and potential using the archetypes of the 12 signs of the

prepared for some ah ha! moments as you explore this ancient art and
gain insight into the characters of those you meet along life's path.
