The Asian Animal Zodiac

---

In much the same way that Westerners analyze their personalities and predict their futures by studying the positions of the stars under which they were born, Asians use the ancient animal zodiac to explain indi-vidual personalities and predict their futures. Accord ing to legend, the twelve years in the Asian animal cycle were named for the twelve animals who visited Buddha on his deathbed: the rat, ox, tiger, hare, drag-on, snake, horse, ram, monkey, cock, dog, and boar. This informative and delightful book examines each animal of the zodiacal cycle and describes its history, its virtues and flaws, its "all-too-human charac teristics." Traditional tales from China, Japan, Korea, Tibet, and Vietnam illustrate each animal's personal-ity as the people of those nations see it.

The extent to which Asians use and rely on the an imal zodiac in their daily lives varies greatly, of course, but every Asian knows under which animal sign he or she was born. Author Ruth Sun goes further. "All im-portant decisions taken during his lifetime," she writes, "especially the decision of whom and when to marry, are affected by the individual's special animal. With the charts, descriptions, and stories in this book, the Western reader too may find useful wisdom in the Asian animal zodiac.
