Download or read book Taoist Astrology written by Susan Levitt and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide brings Chinese astrology back to its ancient roots, providing all the information you need for understanding one of the world's oldest systems of divination. The ancient Chinese people developed a sophisticated science of astrology that continues to have profound influence in China today. Rooted in the fundamentals of Taoism, it evolved into a system vastly different from Western astrology. Rather than determining personality by the time of the year in which you are born, in Taoist astrology it is the year itself that determines your character. The years form a twelve-year cycle of signs, each named after an animal. Additionally, your personality depends on which of the five traditional Taoist elements you are born under--water, wood, fire, earth, or metal. This makes for a cycle of sixty unique signs. Taoist Astrology includes information for each sign's personality, compatibility, child-parent relations, and rising and falling fortunes during the twelve-year cycle. Discussions of yin and yang, Confucianism and Buddhism, Taoist alchemy, and the connection between Taoist astrology and Western astrology give you all the background you need for understanding one of the oldest systems of divination known to humanity. Taoist Astrology differs from other books on the subject by grounding its concepts in the ancient traditions from which it originated.

Book excerpt: Have you ever been considered the “black sheep” in your family, or in a group, just because your thoughts and ideals differ from those around you? Have you ever felt like the “other” because of your inability to accept or live according to the status quo? The label of “black sheep” is often met with judgment and negativity, but what if we redefined the role of the “black sheep” as one whose unique, stand-alone qualities inform success? Author Keith Hahn sets out to do just this while simultaneously helping you identify your inner-black sheep and use it to triumph over convention. Drawing on personal anecdotes from his own life, as well as those of past and present greats, Hahn explores how the ways of the Black Sheep can help you: •Find out your purpose and earn a “passion paycheck” as a result. •Eliminate fear, stress and self-imposed blocks to achieve success. •Create luck instead of stumbling upon it. •Battle stagnation with productivity and proactivity. •Be thorough and commit to complete. •Focus and find mental clarity through the mind-body connection. •Embrace simplicity and let go. •Befriend failure and find the balance between ego and humility. •Keep your emotions in check while maintaining a confident, yet comfortable, image. •Move beyond just “getting there” by cultivating stamina and endurance. Are you ready to take the lead in your own life and use your unique gifts to shape your future? Are you ready to unleash the Black Sheep within? **Bonus Feature with Chapter Testimonials from the Black Sheep Voices podcast on Apple and Spotify!**
