Neil Somerville is one of the most widely read writers in the West on Chinese horoscopes. His 30-year annual series, Your Chinese Horoscope, enjoyed an international following and was translated into many languages. He is also the author of the bestselling books Chinese Love Signs (Thorsons, 2000), Chinese Success Signs (Thorsons, 2001), The Answers (Element, 2004) and Cat Wisdom (Thorsons, 2017).
Neil has always felt that much can be learned from the wisdom of the East and, as a hobby, enjoys writing haiku. A keen walker and traveller, he lives with his wife in Berkshire, England, and has a son and a daughter and far too many books.
TO ROS, RICHARD AND EMILY
As we march through life,
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
