Overview: I Talk to the Animals is a comprehensive guide to the Ba Zi, or Four Pillars of Destiny (sometimes misleadingly called a Chinese Horoscope), including Rules of Clash, Combination, Harm and Break-Up, assessment of strength, Special Stars, Special Combinations and Affinities - and, indeed, everything you need to master drafting and interpreting a Ba Zi in Chinese Characters. Ba Zi’s being a life study - that, of course, is where the work starts.

Verdict: In what is essentially a book on self-exploration and growth, I Talk to the Animals - A Definitive Guide to the Four Pillars of Destiny is, at its heart, Chinese Astrology made accessible.

Unraveling the secrets of Ba Zi along the way, of which he has learnt from traditional masters all around the world, Ashworth brings forth within the pages of this new book all the wisdom, all the knowledge, all the comprehensive foundations and classical metaphysics of the Chinese traditional culture.

Thus, here within these gloriously sumptuous pages of I Talk to the Animals, a slightly misleading title, I will give you, sure, you will garner an in-depth understanding and moreover high proficiency in these what-can-be complex arts.

But wait, there’s more (as they say) because this book also provides the foundations of Ashworth’s Feng Shui courses, where together with his wit, wisdom and insights you are gifted some resourcefully absorbent knowledge with every turn of the page.

In closing, author Richard Ashworth is more than just a scholar for he is also a much revered consultant and healer. Someone who not only cares for each and every person that comes into his life, but coming complete with a rather sly, yet wicked sense of humor, he is an invaluable resource for all the noted material and a whole lot more, trust me.

About the Author - Richard Ashworth’s work has been highlighted many times in the media, but he is probably best known for introducing authentic Chinese Imperial Feng Shui to BBC TV’s Housebusters and for his book The Feng Shui Diaries. He lives in Godalming, UK.
