Overview: Date, Love, Marry, Avoid. Find Your Soulmate by author Janine Lowe teaches us to learn how Chinese astrology can help us all find a compatible partner.

Verdict: Online dating is at an all-time high. Its industry is worth nearly $7 billion. And its popularity has increased in proportion to the increases of loneliness and social isolation brought on by Covid. Finding your soulmate in a largely online world can be tricky enough as it is, and this book aims to help you find a compatible partner without having to kiss too many frogs!

Deciding to write the book she couldn’t find on the market, author Janine Lowe set her aim toward helping people find their way every day with relationships, life, health, and wealth through Chinese Horoscopes and Feng Shui.

Using thousands of years of Chinese Zodiac knowledge to help you find your soulmate, Love, Date, Marry, Avoid is a funny, practical, irreverent, and accessible guide to Chinese astrology, geared to help you learn what makes your personal sign tick and which animal signs are your most -- and least -- compatible.

As far as I know, and have always known to be true, we all have more than one soulmate. There’s the ultimate “one true love” a.k.a the romantic soulmate, along with platonic soulmates who bring us joy and peace, and there are also karmic soulmates who bring massive challenges into our lives!

Interactions with the latter often start powerfully and develop incredibly fast. Some people even feel a strong sense of déjà vu in the presence of their karmic soulmates, mainly because their souls have known each other in other lifetimes.

Unfortunately, all karmic soulmates go through a pattern where things are great at first — unbelievably so sometimes — before they devolve into madness, toxicity and drama.

And so just one thing that we are shown here in Date, Love, Marry, Avoid: Find Your Soulmate is that within Chinese astrology, this experience is classified under the umbrella of “six conflicts,” which refers to six pairs of Chinese zodiac signs who engage with each other as karmic soulmates.

But I digress, as we also quickly learn that Rat zodiac sign folks are quick-witted, resourceful, and versatile. They always find a way through life, no matter what, preferring the path of least resistance. Horse zodiac sign folks are active, energetic, and freedom-loving. They are loyal to a fault but tend to butt heads unnecessarily when their pride gets hurt.

Ox zodiac sign folks are peaceful, determined, and strong. They always show up and keep their promises. Goat zodiac sign folks are gentle, sympathetic, and resilient. They don’t give up once they make up their mind.

Tiger zodiac sign folks are powerful, strategic, and confident. They like to keep their secrets close to their chest until they pounce. Monkey zodiac sign folks are curious, intelligent, and mischievous. They can easily switch from being a part of a team to being the leader.

Rabbit zodiac sign folks are gentle, creative, and lucky. They believe in living life with empathy and goodwill. Rooster zodiac sign folks are colorful, fashion-forward, and courageous. They are also very good at accumulating resources.

Dragon zodiac sign folks are natural leaders, charismatic, and powerful. They believe they are destined for greatness and so they make it happen. Dog zodiac sign folks are loyal, diligent, and strong. They keep their promises and can work well in teams.

Snake zodiac sign folks are reserved, intelligent, and enigmatic. They also tend to be highly intuitive. Pig zodiac sign folks are resourceful, generous, and energetic. They also tend to evaluate people and situations based on perceived value and then interact with them accordingly.

With the information on board that the three most powerful Chinese Zodiac Signs are Dragon, Tiger and Horse, the book cleverly details who you really are and that you could remain that person, without one ounce of sway, and still find the love you deserve.

A rather fascinating read, and one that I myself have now read cover-to-cover twice and have also dived into certain chapters solely to garner snippets of info pertaining to me personally, this book is not just solely chock full of wonderful, impassioned insights, but is an amazing road map for those about to start on the road, or those lost whilst currently traversing it.

Thus, within these pages, Janine helps you work out which animal you are -- the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, or Pig? -- and identify great date options, as she gives her verdict on whether to date, love, marry, or avoid.

After all, there’s no point taking a Rat to the gym, you’ll never see him again!
