The Four Pillars of Destiny or ba zi, drafting and interpretation. Chinese Astrology made accessible.

I Talk to the Animals is a comprehensive guide to the Ba Zi, or Four Pillars of Destiny (sometimes misleadingly called a Chinese Horoscope), including Rules of Clash, Combination, Harm and Break-Up, assessment of strength, Special Stars, Special Combinations and Affinities - and, indeed, everything you need to master drafting and interpreting a Ba Zi in Chinese Characters. Ba Zi's being a life study - that, of course, is where the work starts.
