Book Summary

First published in 1996 by Asiapac Books, Chinese Astrology by Sherman Tai (translated by Clara Show and illustrated by Leow Yong Shin) is an accessible and visually engaging introduction to the fundamentals of Chinese zodiac astrology. It explains the twelve animal signs, the five elements, and how to determine your "fortunate stem" and "harmonious branch." Each animal sign is profiled with personality traits, potential in career, interpersonal compatibility, and guidance on what to avoid or embrace during your animal year. The book is enriched with whimsical comic-style illustrations, making it both fun and informative—a perfect primer for beginners or those curious about their zodiac sign’s influence on the next 12-year cycle.

While not a deeply technical manual, the book offers practical insight and prompts readers to chart their own destiny with an open mind. Its tone is lighthearted yet grounded in traditional Chinese metaphysics, making astrology approachable for a broad readership.

About the Author — 

Sherman Tai is a Hong Kong–born scholar turned professional feng shui consultant and Chinese divination expert. After graduating from the Hong Kong Polytechnic and studying in the U.S., he worked as a mechanical engineer before dedicating his life to metaphysical arts. Under mentorship from a master in his youth, he studied and practiced Chinese astrology (Ba Zi), feng shui, palm reading, and life-chart analysis for over four decades, blending Eastern tradition with a scientific and mathematical lens.

Since moving to Canada in 1990, Tai gained recognition as a feng shui master serving both private and corporate clients—including major institutions like HSBC and municipal facilities—while writing weekly astrology columns for Chinese-language media and hosting broadcasts on feng shui and destiny topics. He has authored several books in Chinese and English on feng shui and astrology, where his work is known for its clarity, cultural balance, and practical approach to eastern metaphysical practices
