Encyclopedia of Chinese Astrology

1. Traditional Chinese Horoscope
2. I Ching
3. Palmistry
4. Chinese Sky Chart
5. Feng Shui
6. Face Reading


This is the only book in the market which gives you a quite detailed analysis of all the subjects in Chinese astrology.

Especially the Chinese sky chart is the most popular method used by most Chinese people and which had never mentioned in any Western literature -- Chinese people rarely use the method of horoscope of 12 animals as known in the western world.

318 pages, Paperback 6 x 9, ISBN 0-9685735-0-9

Review

"The Encyclopedia of Chinese Astrology is an important, valued, highly recommended addition to any personal, professional, or academic metaphysical studies collection."
from The MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

"Palmistry is next, and the many diagrams and explanations in this fifty-two-page section surpass most western booklet in quality and comprehensiveness... These Sky Charts seem fascinating, exotic, and powerful, and since nothing quite like this exists in popular Western literature, Lam could easily find a captive audience by devoting an entire book to this system."
from Dell Horoscope Magazine July/2000.

Foreward

For centuries, the Chinese have been fascinated by everything surrounding the techniques of forecasting the future, whether it is concerning traditional astrology, I Ching, palmistry, the sky chart, Feng Shui, or face reading. These techniques have been developed by observations carried on during hundreds or even thousands of years and they are well rooted in the Chinese culture.

There aren't many books which treat these subjects in such a way that is quite wide and deep and at the same time concise and direct and which can all contain in one volume. Therefore I decide to write one myself, I would like to share with you my passion since my youth of this obscure part of the Chinese culture.
