Chinese Polestar Astrology - by Gregory David Done (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

​​This first comprehensive guide to Chinese Polestar Astrology invites you to use the rich cosmology, symbolism, and practical tools of this ancient system to unlock your life's purpose, overcome limitations, and thrive in every area of your life.

According to Chinese Polestar Astrology, life is a dance between fate, nature, and character; factors that intertwine to create patterns and layers that define our existence. Understanding or deciphering their reciprocity may hold the answer to our life's purpose--giving us a roadmap to better navigate our lives.

Though less well-known than Western or Vedic astrology, Chinese Polestar is a rich and detailed system that uses celestial positioning, the five elements, and twelve animals as metaphors to understand our human experience, tendencies, and possibilities. By determining our birth chart, and learning the tradition's cosmology and symbolism, we can--through reflection and meditation--encourage beneficial states of being and minimize or resolve our negative limitations in all areas of our life.

Longtime Taoist and Buddhist practitioner and astrology expert Gregory Done introduces us to this spiritual practice and gives us all we need to determine our birth chart, understand it, and work with what it can teach us.
