Author's note
is book is based largely on the astrological principles and research compiled for
e Ultimate Birthday Book, first published in 1998. is revised and updated volume
includes some modifications and additional features. e more detailed compatibility
predictions included for each date of birth have been contributed by a colleague whose
specializes in this field. All predictions relating to careers, relationships and other char-
acteristics will be more accurate if the year of birth is taken into account, and therefore
it is recommended that a personal chart be commissioned if further details are sought.
