Preface
B efore launching into the body of this book, Idlike to tell a little story about how I got this far. Maybeautobiography decreases stage fright.
In all of my lifeI have but one regret: I married the wrong person. He was totallyunsuitable for me. I was thoroughly wrong for him. During theinitial mental-paralysis period of our romance in Paris, France, wehad two children. Both in the same year. Ten months and ten daysapart. One year later, when we found the time, we got married. Ninemonths of mental cruelty later, I walked out with a baby under eacharm and headed back to Paris, where I spent much of my lifewondering what had hit me. Recently, I began returning to theStates periodically to see if I could fit my Frenchified self backinto the American dream.
But that isanother book.
Theimportant matter here is that I am sorry my marriage did not work.I am sorry my kids had a lopsided childhood living full-time witha single mom. Of course, I am not alone. These days, familybreakups are routine. Separations happen all the time. Divorce isepidemic. Kids are strewn all over creation, moved and tugged andpulled out of shape by our inability to stay together because ofirreconcilable differences. Everybody is so terribly sorry. Mostare still reeling. What happened? How did I get myself (and my unsuspectingoffspring) into such a mess?
Like so many womenand men today, I also rue the day I agreed to having kids with aperson about whom I knew nothing. I lived in Paris. I wastwenty-six. I had a good job. I thought I was intelligent.
I was anidiot.
Before taking upresidence with a fellow with whom I had fallen in love intwenty-four hours time, I ought to have found out who he reallywas. I should have studied his astrological portrait, his familyhistory, and delved into his romantic past. Coldly, objectively, Iought to have taken a microscope to his character. Then (and onlythen) could I have made a coolheaded decision.
Today I know thatI am a Scorpiowith Taurus rising, and Venus and the Moon inScorpio. I shudder to think what I was doing back then, casting mylot with a Gemini whose rising sign I have conveniently forgottenbut suspect it was something like Flibbertigibbet or Flake. Had Itaken leave of my senses?
Yup.
Now that I havewritten umpteen books about Chinese astrology, which is a uniquelyincisive system of in-depth character reading, I know as well thatI am a hasty Tiger-born person. Impulsive. Daring. Risk-loving.Defiant. Willful and brazenly nonconformist. Tigers are often morecourageous than intelligent. Especially swooning young femaleTigers who havent a clue how to curb their raging hormonalimpetuousness.
Consequently, when I was a twenty-six-year-old, madly inlove Scorpio/Tiger cub, I did no research on my prospective mate. Inever asked for (nor would I have heeded) any advice on the subjectof his character. I thought I knew best. I plunged blindfolded intothe gorgeous pink abyss of love without even holding my nose, and I landed smack inhell.
My fault? Oh,certainly. Like the Katzenjammner Kids in the Sunday funnies ofyore, I brought it on myself I made my bed and have been lying inits shredded dirty linen for the whole of my life. But never mind.None of us four Whites has yet died from the wretched mismatch.Yet, all of us have been made unhappy by it. I really should havedone my homework.
Hence, this bookcomes to you from the pen of a woman who would like to spare youthe pain of her own life-altering mismatch mistake. I am motivatedby my own story. But now I am also an astrologer. More than mereregret drives me. With years of practice under my belt, I am nowequipped to deliver some dead simple insights. I want to assist youin making clever choices about whom to have an affair with, livewith, marry, or just keep as a good friend.
In this book, youwill find out a bit more about who you actually are and why youshould definitely not take up with that Leo/Pig you find so sexy,or continue to lead on the Taurus/Horse whose very soul you, as aPisces/Snake, could devour whole in a New York millisecond. For thesake of eventual family harmony, I will also clue you into whichyears and signs it would be best to plan to have your children.
Before I pounceinto the thick of the subject with the dense force of my four Tigerpaws and the sting of my Scorpio tongue, I want to share with you amotto I first saw on a napkin as a small child in a Buffalo, NewYork, donut shop: As you go through life, make this your goal:Keep your eye on the doughnut and not on the hole.
I dont know whowrote that piece of unforgettable wisdom, but I suggest you hurryup and learn it by heart, cross-stitch it on a sampler, turn itinto a bumper sticker, and stamp it on all your T-shirts. Now.Before its too late.

How to Use thisBook
I ll be brief.This book is exclusively about LOVE . Your LOVE.
I wrote itto help you find someone who is right for you. If you have alreadyfound someone, maybe ASTRO LOVE will assist you in sorting out your differences. Isincerely hope so.
Some yearsago, I invented the New Astrology . Iblended both Chinese and Western astrologies into 12 x 12, or 144New Astrology signs. I wanted to include compatibilities in thatbook. But they wouldnt fit. When you match twelve Chinese animalsigns with twelve Western zodiac signs, you get 156 differentpossible compatibility combinations. The data would fill a wholebook! So I wrote one and call it ASTRO LOVE
At first, itlooked easy. I figured I would simply take a New Astrology sign ,throw it into my mental blender with another New Astrology sign,and get a good, mediocre, or horrible couple result. But if I haddone that144 signs blended with 144 signsthe ASTRO LOVE would have to be about as big as NewHampshire.
So I havechosen instead to separate Chinese signs from Western signs intotwo distinct sections. If you dont know your Chinese or Westernastrological sign, you can find them on the charts at the end ofthis introduction. Then you, my loyal reader, will put your mentalblender to work. The final half of the ASTRO LOVE covers all the Chinese signs, from Rat to Pig, anddiscusses their relative compatibilities. The second half dealswith all Zodiac signs, from Aries to Pisces, and describes theirrespective compatibilities. Now its your turn.
