This is the only English book outside of China that addresses the Meng, an Eastern method of divination, or, by some definitions, a way of life related to Feng Shui and the I-Ching. Similar to Western astrology, the Meng focuses on cycles of cosmic flow that affect one's life depending on the time of birth. Understanding these cycles allows us to take advantage of positive influences and minimize the negative. While the effectiveness of the Meng is limited to the middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere, many people can employ this ancient philosophy in their personal lives. Practicing astrologers and similar advisors with the proper frame of mind who are in the northern hemisphere will be most likely to realize the potential of this book, and will want to take advantage of the ideas by incorporating them into practice.
