It’s very interesting reading and it has the current years for each of the 12 animals. I’m giving this as a Xmass gift to a few friends who are interested in Chinese Horoscopes.

5.0 out of 5 stars So so knowledgeable and amazingly accurate
Oh my god this was fabulous I couldn't have asked for a better book. Really pleased. The detail it goes into explaining each zodiac type and how rabbits differ if they were born in the summer or the winter and how the tiger reacts to the oz, and so forth and to see which celebrity falls under which zodiac - amazing! I read it all the time. These types are amazingly accurate according to the people I know in my life and the 5ype of relationship I have with them
