      TO ROS, RICHARD AND EMILY

      As we march into a new year,

      we each have our hopes, our ambitions and our dreams.

      Sometimes fate and circumstance will assist us,

      sometimes we will struggle and despair,

      but march we must.

      For it is those who keep going,

      and who keep their aspirations alive,

      who stand the greatest chance of securing what they want.

      March determinedly,

      and your determination will, in some way, be rewarded.

      Neil Somerville

      I would also like to acknowledge Theodora Lau’s The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes (Harper & Row, 1979; Arrow, 1981), which was particularly useful to me in my research.

A. Crawford and Teresa Kennedy, Chinese Elemental Astrology (Piatkus Books, 1992); Paula Delsol, Chinese Horoscopes (Pan, 1973); Barry Fantoni, Barry Fantoni’s Chinese Horoscopes (Warner, 1994); Bridget Giles and the Diagram Group, Chinese Astrology (HarperCollinsPublishers, 1996); Kwok Man-Ho, Complete Chinese Horoscopes (Sunburst Books, 1995); Lori Reid, The Complete Book of Chinese Horoscopes (Element Books, 1997); Paul Rigby and
