About the Book

For more than 3000 years, the Chinese have used numbers not only for mathematics, but also to predict the future and interpret the forces of nature. Numbers have yin and yang qualities and carry specific significance and symbolism. They represent the nine ‘stars’ of the universe, which symbolizes the essence of the universe and the five elements. As numbers are also associated with the eight trigrams (the basis of Chinese divination), they are also used in Feng Shui calculations and in face and palm reading. This book will reveal how to use numbers to predict the future, as well as help readers interpret dreams associated with numbers and understand what are auspicious and inauspicious numbers.

About the Author

She was one of the first few authors to pen a book in the English language on Feng Shui in the 70s, when the subject was still relatively unknown in many parts of the world.
