Purchase options and add-ons

Though the practice of astrology is many centuries old, it is only perhaps once in a generation that a thoroughly new, totally original way of looking at the zodiac is discovered. The New Astrology is such a system.

For those convinced that there is nothing new under the sun--or the stars--Suzanne White offers a startling and provocative thesis: There are not 12 but 144 signs of the zodiac, each distinct, each unique, each vital to everyone's quest for self-understanding.
By combining the astrological systems of the traditional Chinese (terrestrial) with that of the Occident (celestial), Suzanne White demonstrates that each of us is governed by two signs. Hence, a Capricorn Tiger is likely to be quite different from a Capricorn Cat, as is a Leo Dog from a Leo Dragon, and so on. This unique blend of Western and Chinese Astrology gives detailed analyses of each of the 144 signs, including individualized sections of love, sex and romance, business, money, careers, home life and compatibility (or lack of it) with other signs.
Already a best-seller in France,
The New Astrology is a massive undertaking and the result of more than a decade of research and study of the two systems. It offers insights into not only our own lives, but also those of all who are close to us. Suzanne White's prose is lucid, candid, and suffused with a sense of fun, but The New Astrology is above all a serious tool for self-awareness and understand the rich variety of human nature all around us.

My friends and I love astrology and I bought this book when my friend my friend showed me their copy. I love how it intertwines the Chinese zodiac with the horoscope to give a more detailed version of “you.” Obviously we don’t live our lives by books about horoscopes and zodiacs but it’s always fun to sift through and see how accurate it is for the people in your life!

I've been collecting and reading astrology books since I was 17 so about twenty years now and this has always been one of my favorites... I left mine originally on a pilgrimage up in the northern area of Amity, Maine... I re bought It here on Amazon and the first time.I had to have it robot because it was destroyed during delivery process in the rain.But they made sure to send a new one right away.So I am happy about that am thankful. This book is very insightful not only regarding bridging eastern and western zodiac but it will give you lots of belly rolls really too your loved ones or friends being it's spot on!

I some how lost my original copy of this book and was pleased to find it on Amazon. Great information on western and eastern astrology. I also like that you can just look in the index and flip to what you want to read about. I say this because the book does have many pages but it's not like you have to read chapter after chapter to get to the point.

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2017
I was introduced to this form of astrology from a friend who was a satanist in the 90's. He told me how satanism was of the earth and not about devil worship or having sex with four-legged farm animals. It was refreshing to see someone who was not typical on his views. I got a book similar to this one from him and was suprised to see how much formulae went into this craft. That book had sections on rising suns and what-not and it had a very good grasp on me, even though I still don't know the hour I was born.
White does a great job at her craft. I would say she got 80% of me right and coincendentally about that margin of error for my friends who read the book. She seems to get 80% right, of 80% of my friends. If you took into account, a lacking on the hour you were born. This girl would be scary good.

Cool & very accurate book for referencing my astrology & my family’s only thing is I’m having trouble putting it to use ... she uses very scholarly words so reading was a bit annoying being that I had to look up the definitions for a lot of words. I guess maybe it’ll come more handy once I’m actively doing readings and in that line of work.

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2001
This book is so spot on it scares me. I have a lot of books about Chinese astrology which are definately more detailed but this combination of Western and Eastern astrology gives a short description of each sign which is totally enough. I like the way the book is structured. Each sign, for example Leo/Tiger or Virgo/Pig is described on 4-5 pages which is perfect for a quick and playful reading. This sounds superficial, but Suzanne White is so accurate that people think I'm making it up when I read their's out loud. Astrology is something you believe or you don't, but I can actually tell certain people what Chinese sign they are by their looks. Not all, but for example women born in the year of the rat all have mouse-like features(examples: Sally Kellerman, Lauren Bacall, Gwyneth Paltrow are all born in the year of the rat) and Suzanne White is really good in recognizing and describing this. The way she writes might seem a bit casual but it's not. She's better than some more "serious" written books on this subject translated from Chinese into English. Just buy it and compare it with your friends and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Having Suzanne understand how the 2 Astrological guidelines work and be able to combine it into one explainative about ourselves is quite a feat. This Type of astrology is more balanced than that of eastern only or western only because a person is still left feeling like a good percent doesn't describe them. Mainly any astrology is just a guideline to understanding a persons character so that we can all communicate better and even use our attributes in the right areas of life, weather in career, families, friends, or aquaintences. Just the Sign of each year/month can tell you about your character alone, if you can understand its symbol. This helps open up and enlighten any who read on their own level. I suggest this book or share this book when the situation calls for it, and then the situation at hand gets better understood and tolerated. Keep it for your own reference!

5.0 out of 5 stars A favourite in my library
Reviewed in Canada on November 14, 2018
This is one of the most entertaining, enlightening and funny books I've ever read.

The author just nails the 144 profiles, and I don't know how she does it. I've had the hard copy for decades and refer to it constantly. It's helped me understand my family, friends & co-workers.

The character insights have given me understanding and peace in coming to see why some people do what they do. I use the information all the time to know those in my life better, and also to be circumspect about who I choose to invite into my life and how to handle them.
