Absolutely loved this book. Eloquently written, with an abundance of information worth savoring(although I read this book in one day because I couldn't put it down). This was borrowed from the library. Now I need to purchase my own as a reference book. I can't wait to read more from Lillian Too.

Split into nine sections about symbols and their specific meanings, as well as discussions on rituals and ceremonies. Even a basic Zodiac lesson helps tie in the astrological element to the Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing everyone with the surrounding environment. In today's layman's terms, it takes most priority in arranging the objects that exist in your house, up to and including the house's architecture and location as well.
