TO ROS, RICHARD AND EMILY
As we march into a new year,
we each have our hopes, our ambitions and our dreams.
Sometimes fate and circumstance will assist us,
sometimes we will struggle and despair,
but march we must.
For it is those who keep going,
and who keep their aspirations alive,
who stand the greatest chance of securing what they want.
March determinedly,
and your determination will, in some way, be rewarded.
Neil Somerville

How to Get the Best from Your Chinese Sign and the Year
In writing Your Chinese Horoscope 2017 I am grateful for the assistance and invaluable support that those around me have given.
I would also like to acknowledge Theodora Lau’s The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes (Harper & Row, 1979; Arrow, 1981), which was particularly useful to me in my research.
In addition to Ms Lau’s work, I commend the following books to those who wish to find out more about Chinese horoscopes: Kristyna Arcarti, Chinese Horoscopes for Beginners (Headway, 1995); Catherine Aubier, Chinese Zodiac Signs (Arrow, 1984), series of 12 books; E. A. Crawford and Teresa Kennedy, Chinese Elemental Astrology (Piatkus Books, 1992); Paula Delsol, Chinese Horoscopes (Pan, 1973); Barry Fantoni, Barry Fantoni’s Chinese Horoscopes (Warner, 1994); Bridget Giles and the Diagram Group, Chinese Astrology (HarperCollinsPublishers, 1996); Kwok Man-Ho, Complete Chinese Horoscopes (Sunburst Books, 1995); Lori Reid, The Complete Book of Chinese Horoscopes (Element Books, 1997); Paul Rigby
