and holds significance for other cultures. This new and updated
edition is a comprehensive and beautiful book that discusses and
illustrates thousands of these symbols and assesses their position

interpret dreams is analysed as a way of accessing our subconscious
fears, desires and preoccupations. The erudite text provides a
wealth of cultural background to primal metaphors that are part of
mankind's universal language. The book is both a journey of
discovery into the importance of symbolism and dreaming and a vast
visual resource of signs and symbols.

years, and there was a time when no Chinese person would
contemplate changing their job or getting married without
consulting their astrologer. We may no longer run our lives this
way, but there is much that we can learn about ourselves from this
ancient Eastern astrological system. The Chinese horoscope is made

wood, and whether you are yin or yang. This accessible book guides
you through finding your own particular sign and how it influences
your personality, family, love life and future choices.
