The gods were asked to decide and they held a contest; whoever was to reach the opposite bank of the river would be first, and the rest of the animals would receive their years according to their finish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the twelve animals gathered at the river bank and jumped in. Unknown to the ox, the rat had jumped upon his back. As the ox was about to jump ashore, the rat jumped off the ox's back, and won the race. The pig, who was very lazy, ended up last. That is why the rat is the first year of the animal cycle, the ox second, and the pig last.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Chinese animal signs are a 12-year cycle used for dating the years. They represent a cyclical concept of time, rather than the Western linear concept of time. In the Chinese calendar, the beginning of the year falls somewhere between late January and early February. The Chinese have adopted the Western calendar since 1911, but the lunar calendar is still used for festive occasions such as the Chinese New Year. Many Chinese calendars will print both the solar dates and the Chinese lunar dates.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A cultural sidelight of the animal signs in Chinese folklore is that horoscopes have developed around the animal signs, much like monthly horoscopes in the West have been developed for the different moon signs, Pisces, Aries, etc. For example, a Chinese horoscope may predict that a person born in the Year of the Horse would be, cheerful, popular, and loves to compliment others. These horoscopes are amusing, but not regarded seriously by the Chinese people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chinese Astrology is said by some scholars to be the oldest horoscope system in the world. However if you trace Western Astrology back to its Middle East roots, both types are likely to have been born in their current recognizable form around 3000 years BC, however they stem from entirely different beginnings as well as traditions and parts of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 12 animals are further flavored by the pervading element of that particular year (elements also revolve as a separate cycle). It is said that Buddha is responsible for the 12 animals as they were the only ones who came to bid him farewell into the next life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chinese Astrology is concerned with nature and its traits, the signs progress year by year, whereas Western Astrology cycles monthly. The consideration of Yin and Yang is a very great influence upon this subject, Yin being passive, female and receptive while Yang is aggressive, male and exploratory. The various permutations of these two essential forces in nature, places, organizations, events and humanity and the quest to achieve balance so that both operate together in harmony rather than opposing or canceling each other out are an essentially Oriental viewpoint and quest, they form the basis of many Far Eastern traditions and other influences in Chinese Society such as Feng Shui.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 12 Animal Signs are : Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit (or Cat), Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat (or Sheep), Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. The animal ruling year in which you were born has a profound influence on your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; As the Chinese say, This is the animal that hides in your heart.&lt;br /&gt;There are five elements; Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, each adding a nuance of almost tactile character to the animal sign. Chinese Astrology is based on the Chinese calendar year of your birth or the year of an event. There are also many more nuances involving the month and day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;James Murray is a successful writer and online gambling expert providing valuable tips and advice for those interested in gambling and online gambling strategies.

Now people from all over the world are interested in the Chinese zodiac and have checked what their Chinese horoscopes would be, just as they would with the Western horoscopes.  The zodiac is a twelve year cycle and each year is named after the twelve animals, the dog, rabbit, horse, ox, rat, monkey, rooster, boar, dragon, tiger, sheep, and snake.  A person's destiny and fortune can be based through the position of the planets depending on the day he or she was born.  Chinese astrology is still being done even in modern Chinese society even to the point of scheduling the births of their children in order for them to be born under a certain zodiac. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In Chinese astrology, a person's traits, character, success and happiness can be determined through his or her zodiac.  There is more to a person's horoscope than the animal of his year.  Chinese horoscopes also base its predictions on the five elements depending on which planet the person was born under.  Earth, Fire, Metal, Wood and Water correspond to the planets Saturn, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury.  These make up Yin and Yang and determine the characteristics of the twelve animal signs.  For example, a person who is a Tiger (its fixed element is Wood), he or she is unpredictable, rebellious, powerful, passionate, daring, and impulsive.  But Chinese astrology, aside from basing the zodiacs on the person's birth year, also determines the characteristics and traits of a person through the months (inner animals) and the hours (secret animals).   Though a person is a Tiger because he or she is born in the year of the Tiger, he or she could be a sheep internally and an ox secretively.  There are many other factors that affect the person's zodiac, such as which trine or groups of three do the animals belong to depending on their similarity in characteristics. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Chinese horoscopes are ways in which people assess you as a person or how you asses yourself and your personality.  Through this, you'll be able to determine what will happen to your happiness, successes, and fortune in the future.  Even in the present society Chinese astrology is still being looked into.  The Beijing Olympics were thought to be a way to celebrate the year 2008 as a lucky year for China, but were astounded when all sorts of calamities happened before the Olympics' opening last August 8, 2008. &lt;/p&gt; Other countries have also consulted Chinese horoscopes in determining what is to happen on a certain day.  Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean and Thai zodiacs all base theirs from the Chinese with minor differences such as the names/labels of their animals and the replacement with different animals.  The influence of the Chinese to many cultures around the world is so great that even Chinese horoscopes are being consulted and Chinese astrology is still depended on in Chinese communities around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Insightfulpsychics.com has a wealth of knowledge about &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.insightfulpsychics.com/"&gt;Chinese calendar astrology&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.insightfulpsychics.com/"&gt;Chinese horoscope&lt;/a&gt;, to learn more about these topics visit our website today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3610355695015654702-8737644752698127627?l=my-chinese-horoscope-sign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MyChineseHoroscopeSign/~3/isr1Zjq1rsQ/chinese-astrology-origins.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (cool instruments)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://my-chinese-horoscope-sign.blogspot.com/2008/11/chinese-astrology-origins.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610355695015654702.post-3064057470382003772</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-10T01:52:25.489-08:00</atom:updated><title>Astrology the Chinese Way... Animal Signs Tell All</title><description>HOW CHINESE ASTROLOGY WORKS&lt;br /&gt;From the Year of the Rat through the Year of the Pig, there are twelve animal signs in the Oriental astrological system. To find your own sign, all you need to know is the year of your birth. Though there are no complicated rising signs nor intricate charts to reckon with, the Chinese New Year (or TET as it is called in Vietnam) falls on a different date each year. It can occur as early as mid-January or as late as mid-February. So if you were born in either of these two months, please con¬sult the charts at the beginning of each chapter for accuracy. A person born in late January of a Snake year might not be a Snake subject, but rather will come under the influence of the preceding Dragon year.&lt;br /&gt;The cycle of the Chinese zodiac renews itself every dozen years. As luck would have it, 1900 was a Rat year. Since Rat is first in the series of twelve signs and its year opened our century, we could calculate the signs of our contemporaries with ease. The year 2000 was not so convenient. Instead of rounding out nicely to start the new century with a Rat year again, 2000 was a Dragon year. The Dragon, unlike the Rat, is not the first sign of the Chinese Zodiac but the fifth. So in this new century we have to work a bit harder to calculate our Chinese sign.&lt;br /&gt;Chinese legend has it that the order of the twelve animal signs was determined thousands of years ago by Buddha himself. According to an age-old tale, there came a day when Buddha felt that the Chinese nation was sadly in need of a new order. On the occasion of the New Year, he called all the animals in the kingdom together for a meeting. But only twelve beasts showed up for this convention.&lt;br /&gt;First came the aggressive Rat, then the hard-working Ox. At their heels bounded the smiling Tiger and his crony, the cautious Cat/Rabbit. Soon the spiffy Dragon appeared, followed by the wise Snake. The gifted Horse came galloping after them, and up gamboled the gentle Goat. In their wake came the merry Monkey, then in strutted the proud Rooster. The last to be heard from were the faithful Dog and the scrupulous Pig.&lt;br /&gt;Buddha honored them in the order of their arrival at his summit conference, and endowed each of the twelve animals with a year of its own. From that New Year forward, each successive year of the Chinese calendar bore the character of the animal that gave it a name. Moreover, those people born in specific animal years are marked by the nature and disposition of their natal animal. Obviously, we do not take these symbolic badges altogether literally. People born in Ox years are not necessarily big-boned or muscular. But little by little, as you study the signs, you may notice some remarkable physical likenesses. Once you are familiar with the characteristics of your own sign and have examined the characteristic that describe your lovers, friends, coworkers, and family members, you might begin trying to guess at the possible signs of strangers.&lt;br /&gt; FACTS ABOUT CHINESE ASTROLOGY&lt;br /&gt;What you are about to discover is an ancient Oriental art of character reading and fate prediction upon which the Orient has depended for many, many centuries. Although the Chinese horoscope is different from our Western astrology, like all systems of presage, it applies the date of a subject's birth to a set or predetermined characteristics that help to predict what the basic nature of that person will be. Unlike our Western plan, the Chinese horoscope does not consider only the influence of stars and planets upon the human personality. The Chinese horoscope eliminates complication. We do not have to consult with an old sage in Peking in order to read about ourselves. Our animal symbol will tell us enough to keep us going through thick and thin for many a year.&lt;br /&gt;Every Asian person about to make a great decision about marriage, family, profession, burial, or relocation will first check to see if his sign and those of the people involved indicate that any benefit will result from his prospective move. In Japan and China parents still arrange many marriages. If the family considers that a Rooster son is not well matched to a Rat woman, oftentimes the wedding is called off.&lt;br /&gt;Every sixty years, there occurs a Horse year that is called the Year of the Fire Horse. The birth of a Fire Horse child, though fortu¬nate for the child himself, is thought to be disruptive to a home and family. Since 1966 was a Fire Horse year and many Japanese women did not wish their families to come under malevolent influences, the abortion rate in many Asian countries soared to a dizzying rate in 1965.&lt;br /&gt;Certain years are not particularly productive for agriculture. Oxen subjects, who are gifted for farming, do not thrive in these years. Oxen are advised to store up provisions during the period preceding Goat and Monkey years so as not to suffer from want during these leaner times. You will find similar predictions for your own sign at the end of each chapter.&lt;br /&gt;It is not unusual to see entire blocks of derelict buildings in cities like Hong Kong, awaiting demolition because sages have said the time is not right. The temporary burial of family members is not uncommon in Japan. Ancestors, according to the Oriental horoscope, must be laid to rest under auspicious conditions. Permanent grave sites are decided upon only after due consultation with augurs.&lt;br /&gt;               HOW TO USE YOUR CHINESE HOROSCOPE&lt;br /&gt;Astrology - like psychology and various other "ologies" - is yet another way of finding out who we are and how we can be happier. Astrologers do not claim to have all the answers. As a soothsayer, I cannot (and will not) presume to know if you must or must not buy a new car on Thursday, the twenty-ninth of July, 2021. But what I do know is that the animal symbol that rules the year of your birth had endowed you with certain basic characteristics and helped to define your funda¬mental nature.&lt;br /&gt;Once you are made aware of these qualities and have accepted certain of your faults, it is conceivable that you will have a better chance of making life cooperate with you. Given definite attributes to work with, you will have the possibility of molding your own life to fit your desires and ambitions. Moreover, as you examine the characteristics pertaining to your friends or acquaintances, you may learn why they behave in ways hitherto incomprehensible to you.&lt;br /&gt;Life is undoubtedly fuller and richer for those of us who are gifted with self-knowledge. Yet, no matter how much we think we know, sometimes we can actually stand by and watch ourselves falling into negative patterns of behavior and repeating our old mistakes. We need to be reminded of the pitfalls to watch for in our individual character so we can avoid falling into ruts.&lt;br /&gt;It is true that society or circumstance can prevent us from following our true natures. Poor environment or unfortunate childhood experiences have marred many a soul and thwarted more than one person from attaining desired goals. For all kinds of reasons, we sometimes repress or otherwise modify our real selves for the sake of another person, a job, or family situation. These modifications are however only survival tactics and may hinder our personal progress for a lifetime. In this day of open forum and the right to personal freedom, we should no longer be imprisoned or held back by outside restraints.&lt;br /&gt;For most of us, the discovery of our "own thing" is half the battle. Without the knowledge of who we are, we cannot hope to do anything but bog down in confusion or wonder, Why me? Where have I gone wrong? And these and other such self-pitying or deluding quicksand states of mind are the biggest inhibitors of all. To get the most out of life, you can begin by getting the most out of this information. Not only is the Chinese horoscope amusing and informative, it's my guess that it will provide you with many a pleasant surprise. Let's hope too that you will glean enough extra knowledge of yourself to assist in casting your own future more satisfactorily.&lt;br /&gt; FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE www.suzannewhite.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suzanne White is know worldwide as the high priestess of Chinese and western astrologies.

Monkeys love to be the cynosure of all eyes, hog the limelight, and impress others with their repository of knowledge. This testifies to the veracity of the statement that monkeys love to show off and are ostentatious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A love for mischief is coupled with an insatiable intellectual curiosity. This latter makes them ideal candidates for becoming the creative heads behind ingenious projects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Romantically fickle minded, insincere and flighty, a devouring curiosity, eagerness to try out new things, love for innovation, experimentation, stamina, endurance, determination, strength, intelligence, creativity, restlessness are the defining traits of a fire monkey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriousness about relationships and work, genuine concern for others, caring ways, calm spirit, down to earth, jovial, reliable, trustworthy, hardworking, methodical, systematic and organized and practical - these are qualities that would describe an earth monkey best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Water monkeys have what it takes to be skilled orators and attentive listeners. In social gatherings a false mask hides their true feelings and emotions and they abhor sharing or showing their private emotions in public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At times metal monkeys demonstrate a cold and unbending front which distances their friends from them. They are confident of relying on their own judgment and instinct.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are independent, ambitious, determined, assiduous hard workers plodding their way to success, cant work in teams, affectionate and loving and unlike the other monkeys trustworthy and loyal by nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ethics, orthodox morality, honest means are what wood monkeys stand for. They are extremely morally upright and will never stoop to unethical or illegal methods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MONKEYS IN LOVE RELATIONSHIPS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is better to stay away from a monkey if love and romance are in your thoughts. Unarguably, the most promiscuous of all animal signs in the Chinese zodiac, they make talented flirts, don't like to be tied down to one lover for long and are guided by the motto - variety is the spice of love life. Immensely sensuous and intense, they can become mischievous, manipulative and intelligent while wooing or chasing his latest love interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MERITS OF MONKEY NATURE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sociability, liveliness, patience to listen to others, intelligence, creativity, versatility, humor, wit, honesty, reliability, independence, tolerance and ability to solve problems in a jiffy are some of the many strengths of a monkey character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DRAWBACKS OF MONKEY NATURE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of his good qualities are undone by his shallow, over indulgent, careless, restless, conceited, egoistic, superficial, mischievous and self- centered core. His hedonism and lack of self control diminish his popularity. His love of revelry and merry making caused irreparable damage to his relationships and to his reputation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has no qualms about breaking hearts. He will check himself at times and abstain from hedonistic and epicurean obsessions, but that will not be for long. He will be back to his old self before long, but he will carry a bit of remorse in his heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are interested in &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.biotrend.us/"&gt;daily chinese horoscope&lt;/a&gt; then install Biotrend to learn more about &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.biotrend.us/"&gt;astrology compatibility&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3610355695015654702-4873331746443322566?l=my-chinese-horoscope-sign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MyChineseHoroscopeSign/~3/qgklhV8QgjA/daily-chinese-horoscope-monkey.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (cool instruments)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://my-chinese-horoscope-sign.blogspot.com/2008/11/daily-chinese-horoscope-monkey.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610355695015654702.post-4200771998924123826</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-10T01:49:45.784-08:00</atom:updated><title>The Chinese Horoscope Love Match</title><description>Exploring the love match between the 12 animal signs is a very interesting and entertaining way of using a Chinese horoscope. If the love match says that 2 animal signs are compatible, it translates into the happy occasion of love or marriage or both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT ARE TRIANGLES OF AFFINITY?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are four triangles of affinity. The 12 animal signs are divided between these. On the basis of similar thinking patterns and general compatibility, 3 animal signs constitute each triangle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An atmosphere of harmony, success and endurance in conjugal ties or in romance is assured between the 3 animals belonging to the same triangle. Happiness is doubled because of similar interests, hobbies, tastes, mutual understanding; a scorching sexual intimacy adds that special spark to the romance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minor disputes and niggling problems will always be there. But on the whole, there is a high chance of a long, durable and stable union. These 3 compatible animal signs should go ahead with marriage if there is love in the air.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This does not however mean that, love relations cannot exist between all the Chinese horoscope signs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DRAGON, MONKEY AND RAT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are performance oriented people who love to take initiatives. This group constitutes the most positive and competitive people of the four triangles, with the whole trio being action oriented. They share complementary characteristic traits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are commonly perceived as intense, passionate, restless, energetic, dynamic, ambitious, imaginative, and innovative by people. They can't look beyond progress. For e.g. Dragon's courage compensates for rat's timidity. Monkey and rat possess a lot of cunning. But this negative quality is absent in dragon's character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SNAKE, ROOSTER AND OX&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They also are endowed with complementary traits like the animal personalities in the 1st triangle of affinity. They are always focused on their goals and ambitions; defeat is something that shatters them. Profoundly thoughtful, meticulous, systematic, determined, dedicated, purposeful, these people are supposed to be steadfast, intellectual, independent-minded, slow but sure and dutiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HORSE, DOG AND TIGER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, the most loyal and transparent of the trio is the dog, but it is lacking in the mobility of the horse. Liberty is what they thrive on.

The symbols used for naming the signs are common animals' names, such as pig, rooster, ox, monkey and others, the birth of this zodiac being known from a legend about Buddha's last calling, before leaving this earth. These animals, the ones that are used in a figurate manner of speaking, were the first who answered the prophet's calling, and so they have earned the honor of being a part of the Chinese zodiac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Chinese horoscope, the Monkey is considered to be the most intelligent animal. The native monkey has a special ability of staying out of trouble, even though he or she is cunning and loves playing all sorts of games with others. Very sociable, the monkey feels good when is surrounded by many people, at a party, at a conference or with any other occasion, and he or she always wants to be the attraction of the evening'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The native Chinese horoscope monkey has a fine sense of irony, however without offending others, because he or she knows the limits very well. When he has to face a strong opponent, the art of manipulation is a good weapon in his hands. An important flaw is actually the fact that the Chinese horoscope monkey might lie, in every day life, in order to accomplish his goals. Though, if he is exposed, he will admit that he was wrong and the others will surely forgive him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The native monkey is very unstable, just like a child. Very mobile, he jumps from one thing to the other, without looking back. Easily bored, he will always look for other ways of entertaining himself, grabbing the people around him in his games and in his frenzy. A horoscope monkey loves all kinds of challenges and interesting projects, and he will be willing to work hard for completing his tasks. He is a great employee, but if he is in a leading position, he might be arrogant and mean, sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, the Chinese zodiac describes the monkey as a person who will earn lots of money, and live in luxury, as he considers money as a symbol of his status and his value. His luck will protect him on various occasions, both in his personal life, and in his professional career. He is a master o negotiation, the professional name for manipulation, and he will get what he wants, as he knows how to approach other people and how to convince them that he is right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charming and joyful, a monkey is a great business partner and a good friend, as long as he doesn't feel threatened in any way. His jealousy and his &lt;a id="KonaLink0" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/religion-articles/the-characteristics-of-the-chinese-horoscope-monkey-sign-517504.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static;color:#009900;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 153, 0); color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static; background-color: transparent;"&gt;conservation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; instinct will turn him into a little beast, and he is capable of doing crazy things in these conditions. Anyhow, you can get comfort and understanding from a Chinese horoscope monkey, and you will certainly receive good advice, thanks to his intuition, his intelligence and his objectivity. When it comes to the compatibility horoscope you should keep in mind this description of the horoscope monkey in the Chinese zodiac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are interested in &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.biotrend.us/"&gt;chinese horoscope&lt;/a&gt; then install Biotrend to learn more about &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.biotrend.us/"&gt;chinese astrology signs compatibility&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3610355695015654702-1716718987634108875?l=my-chinese-horoscope-sign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MyChineseHoroscopeSign/~3/9QZUUYQQJHg/characteristics-of-chinese-horoscope.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (cool instruments)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://my-chinese-horoscope-sign.blogspot.com/2008/11/characteristics-of-chinese-horoscope.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610355695015654702.post-5546812142520822982</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-10T01:47:13.190-08:00</atom:updated><title>Introduction to Chinese Astrology: the Main Concepts of the Chinese Horoscope System</title><description>Chinese Astrology is a powerful ancient art. It's rules and ideas are quite simple for anyone to understand. The purpose of Chinese astrology is to help people achieve their goals through self awareness and continuous advances of the mind and soul. Through the study of a person's personal Chinese horoscope, important aspects of that person's personality and destiny can be revealed. Chinese Astrology can help you find your purpose on this planet and discover an appropriate and joyful way of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like western astrology, the Chinese astrology system is trying to determine a person's health, career direction, likes and dislikes, compatibility with other people, luck attraction and a lot more. The system works based on the usual birth details (year of birth, month of birth and day of birth) and a few significant other concepts. Chinese astrology is a gift of the gods according to ancient Chinese. This ancient art has successfully guided and guarded the Chinese from ancient times through modern times. Today, this horoscope system still plays a significant role in the lives of millions of people across the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's look at some key components of the Chinese zodiac system which is based on a twelve-year astrological cycle (aligned with the sun and moon cycle). First of all the Chinese astrology cycle is divided into five parts that represent the five magical universal elements according to the Chinese. These elements are: Metal, Earth, Fire, Wood and Water. The elements are a creation of the Chinese heavenly god who magically embedded them in Chinese Astrology and the Chinese Calendar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the Chinese Horoscope cycle is enhanced with the divisions of the twelve Chinese horoscope signs that are represented by twelve carefully chosen animals. These are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. The animals where not selected by luck, but each one of them is highly associated with the human culture and way of life. There's also a legend that explains in detail how the 12 animals where selected. According to the scriptures, the Chinese god of earth conducted a race between all the animals on planet earth. The first twelve animals would represent the twelve astrological signs. The twelve Chinese Horoscope signs shape the twelve-year cycle. When the year-cycle ends, a new one begins by repeating itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least there is the cosmic and divine force that influences the entire Chinese astrology system. This force is well known to many people as The Yin and The Yang. The Yin represents the female and the Yang represents the male. Another interpretation claims that the Ying represents the Evil and the Yang represents the Good. When properly combined the Ying and Yang produce universal harmony and eternal balance. The combination of Yin and Yang is the secret power behind the Chinese Horoscope system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So, these are the key elements of Chinese Astrology. I will not go into further details in this article but let's summarize:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- We have the five Chinese Astrology Elements which are universal and magical and these are: Metal, Earth, Fire, Wood and Water as ordered by the Chinese Heavenly God.&lt;br /&gt;- Then we have the twelve Chinese horoscope signs which are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig as ordered by the Chinese Earthly God.&lt;br /&gt; - And lastly, we have the cosmic power named as Yin and Yang, that symbolizes the eternal harmony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is as simple as that to begin with. All these comprehensive ideas are carefully, strategically and magically mixed by the gods to produce the entire Chinese Astrological System. Of course, one can go deeper and deeper into the meanings of these concepts and come up with unlimited combinations and interpretations of this system, but the basic components of Chinese Astrology are summed up as described above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ewyen Minh is an eccentric Chinese Astrologer with over 30 years of experience in divination and the Chinese Zodiac system.

I will present them as ordered by the supreme Chinese gods that created Chinese Astrology and the Chinese calendar system. The first six Chinese horoscope animal signs are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake. Here we go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Rat&lt;/b&gt; (Yang-male nature)&lt;br /&gt;The Rat is the very first animal of the Chinese Horoscope Cycle. A Rat is good at leading and conquering. Many famous emperors of Chinese history where Rats. Being able to charm others, Rat people are generally charismatic and full of passion. What makes them unique is their practical and dominant mind which gives them the ability to be organized, tactful and systematic. The other side of a Rat can reveal a very controlling person who always insists in doing everything its own way, at all costs. A Rat can also be very cruel and dangerous, especially when challenged. People under this major Chinese Horoscope sign are well known for their ability to use their master minds to exploit other's emotions, feelings and thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Ox&lt;/b&gt; (Yin-female nature)&lt;br /&gt;The Ox is a powerful Chinese Horoscope sign which symbolizes wealth and prosperity. Ox people are usually very hard working and stubborn. Being admirer of power and possession, this Chinese Horoscope sign like to depend on itself to achieve all kinds of great things. Ox people are also a bit slow when making their decisions, especially if they are given a lot of options to choose from. Once they decide on something though, nobody can make them go another way. You can't easily get an Ox person to speak to you, but once you earn their trust, they will open their heart and mind in a very sincere and true way. An Ox can be a good and loyal friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Tiger&lt;/b&gt; (Yang-male nature)&lt;br /&gt;Chinese astrologers consider the Tigers (not the lions) as kings of all animals. Tiger people are usually very attractive and persuasive. You cannot resist them easily and at the same time, you cannot attract their interest unless you try hard and be sincere. They like mystery, fairy tales and stories about courage and love. They will likely spend an adventurous life triggered by their instincts and strong emotions. Another important attribute of people under the Chinese Horoscope sign of Tiger, is the fact that they like surprises and out of the ordinary situations. If you want to have a Tiger as a friend then it's up to you to make sure your friendship will last since a Tiger will generally find it hard to maintain any relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Rabbit&lt;/b&gt; (Yin-female nature)&lt;br /&gt;The Rabbit is well known for its ability to attract good fortune and be lucky. Rabbit people, apart from being attractive to the opposite sex, they are also very good at solving complex situations and problems. Many well known Chinese politicians and diplomats belong to the Rabbit. Another aspect of this Chinese Horoscope sign reveals tendency to cultural activities and the arts. A Rabbit hates fighting and engaging in aggressive behaviors or activities because of its peaceful nature. Last but not least, Rabbit people hate surprises or unpredicted results and you may annoy them if you try to involve them in any risky situation. That is why it is likely that Rabbit people will miss several good chances in their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Dragon&lt;/b&gt; (Yang-male nature)&lt;br /&gt;Dragons are mythical powerful creatures worshiped by Chinese culture. A Dragon symbolizes strength, health, harmony and intellectuality. Many consider Dragon people extremely lucky and blessed. People under this eccentric Chinese Horoscope sign are generally charismatic and gifted with great powers. It is unlikely for a Dragon to go unnoticed from a social meeting or a party. Their unique attitude and self confidence will always work wonders in such situations. Dragon people are also well known for their honesty and sense of duty. These characteristics can sometime work against them because others will tend to take advantage of them. If a Dragon is your friend feel free to confide in them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Snake&lt;/b&gt; (Yin-female nature)&lt;br /&gt;The Snake (Serpent) is strongly related with deep and eternal wisdom. Snake people are always enigmatic and maybe the most wise of all Chinese Horoscope signs. A Snake usually evolves to become a philosopher, deep thinker, theosophist, magician or leader of the back scene. Snake people love learning, reading and eating good food. They are also very concerned about their outer appearance. Their best attribute is their excellent ability to communicate with others and successfully engage in interesting conversations. Snake people love new ideas and innovative thoughts and actions, but they will usually reject advice from anyone but themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ewyen Minh is an eccentric Chinese Astrologer with over 30 years of experience in divination and the Chinese Zodiac system.

These where: Garnet, Aquamarine, Sapphire, Pearl, Amethyst, Opal, Topaz, Emerald, Peridot, Citrine, Diamond and Ruby. Then by studying the attributes of the gem stones they assigned each gem to a Chinese Horoscope sign. These gem stones would protect and bring luck to the possessor. Let's talk about the attributes of the first six lucky Chinese horoscope gem stones and their association with Chinese Astrology and culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lucky gem stone: &lt;b&gt;Garnet&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Associated Chinese Horoscope sign: Rat&lt;br /&gt;Attributes: Garnet is mostly associated with love, loyalty, passion, mental health and women's needs. Garnet usually comes in deep red colors, that is why Chinese like to call it "The Blood Stone". It is a gem stone that is very hard, which makes it suitable for wearing or for decoration purposes. Chinese use Garnet to alternatively cure severe melancholy and depression. Little pieces of Garnet are traditionally given to Chinese pregnant women to help them with their pregnancy. It is also known to stabilize a woman's menstrual cycles. A Chinese legend claims that if you tie a piece of Garnet in your front door it will protect your house against thieves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lucky gem stone: &lt;b&gt;Aquamarine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Associated Chinese Horoscope sign: Ox&lt;br /&gt;Attributes: Aquamarine is associated with peace, tranquility, physical health, women and the spirit of the goddess. Aquamarine has an one of a kind transparent blue color that will bring calmness and mental clarity. According to Chinese legends, aquamarine was created by the great Chinese god of the sea who had the form of a sea monster. Then it was given as a divine gift to the Chinese goddesses of the sea in order to charm them. It is very common for Chinese fisherman to carry a piece of aquamarine to invoke the goddesses to bring them luck and protect them when sailing. Traditional Chinese doctors use it to cure digestive problems by dropping aquamarine jewelry into glasses of water and of course removing them a few minutes later, after aquamarine has acted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lucky gem stone: &lt;b&gt;Sapphire&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Associated Chinese Horoscope sign: Tiger&lt;br /&gt;Attributes: Sapphire is highly associated with guidance, and enlightenment, money, prosperity, peace of mind, leadership, inner strength and self confidence. Chinese use it to send away negative energy and wicked thoughts and bring amiability and fulfillment. Chinese legends claim that Sapphire will open your mind and show you the way to connect with your inner self and god. Sapphire is commonly used in China for concentration and visualization exercises because of its magnificent ability to inspire, and stabilize your mind. Sapphire is a gem stone associated with oracles, dreams and the art of seeing into the past and the future. Chinese call it "The Third Eye Stone" and use it to cure physical eye-diseases or improve their vision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lucky gem stone: &lt;b&gt;Pearl&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Associated Chinese Horoscope sign: Rabbit&lt;br /&gt;Attributes: The Pearl is associated with purity and purification, innocence and the feminine side of people. In Chinese culture the pearl is really powerful and is considered to be "The Tear From Heaven" or "The Tear of God". A Pearl is given to young, unmarried Chinese women to help them find their soul mate. It is a gift that Chinese fathers love to give to their young daughters when they reach adolescence to guard their purity. It is also common among wealthy Chinese to drink alcohol with dissolved pearls to cure all kinds of disease and illness. The Pearl is also used as strength and energy booster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lucky gem stone: &lt;b&gt;Amethyst&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Associated Chinese horoscope sign: Dragon&lt;br /&gt;Attributes: Amethyst is associated with strong intuition, the brain, wealth, peace, protection and spirituality. Chinese use it for many purposes. For example it is common to wear amethyst jewelry if you are about to drink a lot. Amethyst will protect you from drunkenness and will keep you sober. It is also used in many parts of China, against all kinds of addictions like smoking, alcohol or drugs. This magical purple gem stone is also used for spiritual purposes like meditation or divination. Chinese believe that Amethyst will increase your psychic powers and your invocation skills. Many Chinese Mediums and Astrologers (including me) always carry a piece of Amethyst with them as a divination tool. Last but not least, Amethyst is used in China as a natural medicine against insomnia and bad dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lucky gem stone: &lt;b&gt;Opal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Associated Chinese horoscope sign: Snake&lt;br /&gt;Attributes: Opal is associated with guidance, luck, honor, potency, visions, dreams and mind power. In many western cultures Opal is considered as a bad stone. Chinese though, believe that Opal will bring tremendous luck and abundance to those people who's lucky gem stone is Opal. It is a strange and highly mystical gem stone with strong occult powers. Chinese legends refer to Opal as "The Invisibility Stone". It is also used to receive advice from the spirits through dreams. Chinese put it under their pillows to protect them when they enter the dream world during sleep. Chinese Mediums use it for spiritual journeys and to provide guidance. Opals can change their colors from dark to bright according to the mood of the possessor or to give a message to the holder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ewyen Minh is an eccentric Chinese Astrologer with over 30 years of experience in divination and the Chinese Zodiac system.

And indeed Topaz is a powerful gem stone that Chinese use to overcome all fears and achieve all kinds of amazing goals. Topaz is also a great gem stone for artists, fashion people, architects, writers or decorators and everyone who needs an increased amount of imagination and creativity. Topaz has a yellow-golden color. An old Chinese legend claims that Topaz can help you think higher and deeper and can also show you how to overcome all obstacles that may stand in your way. Traditional Chinese doctors use it extensively to cure mental disorders or brain conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lucky gem stone: &lt;b&gt;Emerald&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Associated Chinese horoscope sign: Sheep&lt;br /&gt;Attributes: Emerald symbolizes the mother of all goddesses. It is associated with love, money and wealth, beauty, integrity, self knowledge, truth, justice and rarity. Chinese believe that it is a powerful gem stone that will bring prosperity, increased sexual capabilities and potency. It is used to attract members of the opposite sex and find pure and true love. A Chinese legend clearly states that the emerald is "The Gem Stone of Truth" and if your heart deserves it, then the emerald will help you find the eternal truth.

This is the time when millions of overseas Chinese will go back home to their families to spend the holiday and have a wonderful dinner together. This is a time when every Chinatown all over the globe will be filled with much merrymaking, dramatic fireworks, dancing dragons, singing gongs, and happy smiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No doubt, the Lunar New Year is the most important holiday in history for Chinese, with the celebration taking as long as 15 days. Even people who don't have Chinese blood in them have come to celebrate and respect this holiday. Every year, Chinese spend lavishly on these performance arts in the hopes of bringing good luck and prosperity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And just as the New Year is a time when they spend thousands on food and fireworks, it is also a high time consulting their fate in Chinese horoscopes and astrology. Chinese people, after all, are among the most superstitious people in the world. Superstitions, in fact, abound during the Chinese New Year itself, both before and during the holiday. On the days before the celebration, Chinese families spend their time cleaning their houses to sweep away the bad luck for the coming new year. On the holiday eve, buying a pair of shoes is considered bad luck, since according to them the word "shoes" is a homophone for the word "rough" in Cantonese. Eating candy, on the other hand, brings good luck in a way that their coming year will become sweet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now more than ever, people are interested in what Chinese horoscope has to say about their lives for the New Year. And the interest in Chinese astrology isn't limited to just Chinese businesspeople alone. Even foreigners, (i.e. Westerners) are just as willing to delve into Chinese horoscopes, perhaps even more so. Over time, Chinese people have passed on their beliefs to the next generation, continuously sharing them until they have woven a very detailed and comprehensive nexus of beliefs and wisdom. From the Chinese come Feng Shui, and Chinese astrology, and i-ching, and other sources of time-tested knowledge that will always define the Chinese culture. Which is why deep inside everyone, Chinese-blooded or not, there is a vast and unlimited belief in Chinese superstitions and other ancient wisdom, whose only aim is the betterment of people's lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully, this Year of the Pig proves to be indeed prosperous and deserving of congratulations for everyone.

I will present them as ordered by the supreme Chinese gods that created Chinese Astrology and the Chinese calendar system. The last six Chinese horoscope animal signs are: Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. Here we go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Horse&lt;/b&gt; (Yang-male nature)&lt;br /&gt;The Horse is a Chinese Horoscope sign that always expects to be free. Horse people are self confident and usually determined enough to succeed on their goals. They like to attract general attention and to be flattered, but they will know if someone really appreciates their skills or not. Another attribute of the Horse is honesty. Horse people are usually honest and genuine with others and can have a lot of friends if they choose so. You should expect to receive good advice from a Horse if you take the time to explain your situation carefully. A Horse can also be brave but at the same time too sensitive. This sensitivity may sometimes trigger their defense mechanisms for no reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Sheep&lt;/b&gt; (Yin-female nature)&lt;br /&gt;The Sheep (Ram) is a very interesting Chinese Horoscope sign. It has a female nature and a lot of positive attributes like the tendency to be artistic and the interest in fashion. Sheep people are caring and they will try not to hurt others with their actions. That is why they like to think before they act. Sheep people are considered to be extremely shy. A Sheep is well mannered and can support its opinions. Sometimes, the fact that they are shy makes them insecure and they happen to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. A Sheep type of person is usually sensitive and need to feel loved and protected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Monkey&lt;/b&gt; (Yang-male nature)&lt;br /&gt;The Monkey is the most flexible Chinese Horoscope sign of all. Monkey people usually end up as inventors, scientists, artists or people who entertain the masses one way or the other. They are very creative and can be considered geniuses at a later stage in their lives. Monkey people tend to take control of a situation by being aware of what is going on around them. This in fact is a great gift they possess that will guide them through their lives. Another interesting attribute is their reliability. If you have a friend who is a Monkey it is likely that they will keep any secret you share with them. Monkey people are also honest, funny and they make a good company or companion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Rooster&lt;/b&gt; (Yin-female nature)&lt;br /&gt;The Rooster is the tenth Chinese Horoscope sign. Number ten (10) is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture and it is not a coincidence that a Rooster is supposed to be very fortunate. Rooster people like to carefully observe everything and they are usually successfull with their observations. They are courageous, brave and independent spirits, but on the other hand they can become pretentious, obsessed and self absorbed. A Rooster is sociable at times and will love to meet new places and new people. Rooster people always like to be in the center of attention especially when it comes to their friends and family. They would do anything to achieve that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Dog&lt;/b&gt; (Yang-male nature)&lt;br /&gt;The Dog is the most loyal Chinese Horoscope sign of all. Dog people can be trusted to keep secrets or accomplish all kinds of difficult tasks as partners. If there's one thing they like to do is to take care of their outer appearance. Dog people love good looks and can express interesting opinions about fashion and styling. Another great characteristic of Dog people is their patience, especially with other people. They use their minds to understand situations, provide smart solutions and they will usually do anything to help others. A Dog has a very positive attitude and can attract friends like a magnet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Pig&lt;/b&gt; (Yin-female nature)&lt;br /&gt;The Pig is the twelveth and the last sign of the Chinese Horoscope cycle. It symbolizes fertility and good fortune. Chinese believe that people who are born under this sign will be honest and they will achieve happiness that way. Pig people are indeed very honest and patient. They prefer to work behind the scene. It will take time to feel comfortable with a Pig person but once you do you will be presented with a warm heart ready to support you in any case. Pig people are peaceful creatures who like hanging around in the nature. They love mountains, lakes, meadows etc. The Pig prefers to live in the country side instead of a big city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ewyen Minh is an eccentric Chinese Astrologer with over 30 years of experience in divination and the Chinese Zodiac system.

If we go by historical facts then it will not be wrong in saying that Chinese were the first ones to predict the future of people. It is also a known fact that the Chinese lunar calendar is the longest chronological record available today, dated back from 2637 BC. Well, everyone wants to have a picture perfect future, so why wait! Let’s get predictions done through Chinese horoscope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Chinese lunar calendar is divided into twelve months of 29 days each. In fact, every two and a half years, an intercalary month is added to adjust the calendar. The addition of this month every third year produces the lunar leap year. If you are still confused with the working of Chinese calendar then, you can always refer to the beginning of each lunar month, which is also the date of the new moon marked on the western calendar. Interestingly, one cycle takes 60 years to complete and is made up of five cycles of 12 years each. In fact, the Chinese horoscope is predicted through 12 symbols that are based on animals. Interestingly, there is also a legendary tale behind the making of Chinese calendar: Twelve animals were assigned to each of the 12 years when the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from earth. As a reward, he named a year after each one in the order that it arrived. First came, the rat, then the ox, the tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and boar. Hence, we have the twelve animal signs of today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well in the Chinese horoscope, each of the animal signs also referred as the twelve earth branches are combined with the five main elements. These five elements form an integral part of Chinese horoscope and without each of them no prediction is complete. These are wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Hence, these elements play a significant role in our life. Through Chinese horoscope, one can have conducive and controlling effect on his or her life because of the interrelationships of each of five metals. For example from metal, we get water, here is reference is that a metal could be a vessel for holding water, so we can conclude that metal traps water, but it could also mean that when the metal is heated it turns into a liquid and vice versa. Therefore, we can say that none of the metals can be called strong or weak. In fact, they are forever dependent on each other and are equal too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, Chinese horoscope does not limit us, instead teaches us how to move ahead with the times and if our present methods do not meet with success, then it teaches to reach our goals by taking new routes. The Chinese horoscope instruct us to do self-analysis and in knowing what to expect from situations. Hence, the Chinese horoscope not only predicts but also guides for better life in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amit Bhalla works to help all those who want information about the latest and the best, most happening places in the city.
