Book Description from the Back Cover

Why is the Dragon year so popular with married couples who plan to have children? Are people born in the year of the Pig as lazy as what the animal is usually thought to be? And how will you fare in the next 12 years?

This easy-to-understand guide by Sherman Tai is made more interesting by the lively comic illustrations provided by Leow Yong Shin. The Chinese art of divination using the 12 animal-signs has intrigued many for centuries. It is one of life's great mysteries in that some of the predictions can be remarkably accurate.

Read this guide with an open mind and use it to chart your course of action for each of the next 12 years. At the same time, you may find that it helps you understand the people close to you.
