Chinese Astrology Issues - 2007 Chinese Year of the Fire Pig

The Chinese Calendar is cyclical and is based on the lunar cycle. The Chinese New Year or the New Lunar Year as the Chinese like to call it, starts at a new moon phase and may fall between the last days of January and the middle of February. The 2007 Chinese New Year started at the 18th of February, at the first day of the first new moon phase of the classic western calendar year.

While February the 18th is the 49th day of the traditional western calendar, it is actually the first day of the year for the Chinese and other eastern cultures. The 2007 Chinese New Year is affected by the sign of the Pig. The attributes of this Chinese sign are (for the year 2007) combined with the element of fire, and here's what that means.

The Pig is the last Chinese sign of the Chinese zodiac cycle and it is generally ruled by the element of Water. But it is also the universal element of Fire who is the major ruler for this year. So it is Fire over Water for 2007. It is a great time to finish anything you have started the previous year or the past years. It is not a good time to start a new major and important project. The Pig and the element of Fire instructs you to go back and see what you've got, make any necessary changes, improve your goals and your strategy, finalize situations and get rid of what is bothering you whether it is emotions, feelings, friends, lovers or whatever.

The 2007 Chinese Year of the Pig is also an ideal time to think about the next year and prepare for some major changes that are very likely to happen during the new animal cycle that will begin with the year of the Rat in 2008. So try to carefully visualize your future goals and plans. Don't go into action yet. This is not a year for new beginnings. Just think of the future and visualize what you want to happen next year. Always keep that in mind and be careful not to be overwhelmed by the Pig's sensual or sexual temptations. You may be fooled.

This is also an excellent year for legitimate business and ventures. The Pig is quite aggressive and cynical when it comes to frauds, stolen properties/money or other illegal activities. You will be probably punished severely if you don't play by the rules this year. And it will be a final and strict punishment since the Pig is awaiting its turn in the zodiac cycle to punish bad people. Remember it is the last animal of the Chinese Horoscope and it must make sure everything is in place for the new animal cycle to begin.

It is highly likely that you will presented with a plethora of dilemmas this year. Maybe you will have to make important decisions, maybe choose between sides, you know black pill and blue pill stuff. The Pig favors you to open your mind and soul and start expressing yourself and talk sincerely to others about your feelings, thoughts or plans. Take a stand and act on what you want. It is not a good time to hide and go through shortcuts. Instead you have to select that what fits you the most without any hesitation or fear. If you act smart you will be rewarded afterwards. All your paths will be cleared and justified.

The Pig is a Chinese sign that is also associated with good luck and prosperity and if you follow the rules described above, the magnificent Pig will bring you harmony during the year and unexpected lucky events by the end of 2007. New opportunities may arise as the Pig year ends and depending on the job you've done with yourself during the year, these beneficial opportunities will actually be embedded in your life in a way that you cannot miss them or disregard them. Then it is up to you to make decisions and accept or reject new ideas or changes for the coming New Year.

The most important thing to remember about this Chinese Year is that the Pig is the last Chinese Horoscope sign. A cycle ends and a new one is about to begin. Don't forget that the Pig is also empowered by the universal element of Fire. The influence of Fire will be severe and powerful. Fire is here to help the Pig do some maintenance and clear/destroy what must go and disappear.

So, another cycle that started 11 years ago is about to finish and a new one will soon begin. Chinese strongly believe that the new Chinese horoscope cycle that will start in 2008, will be the most important for the human race as a whole. Chinese prophets and a lot of Chinese Astrologers (including me) agree that the new Chinese Zodiac cycle and the next few years will have a tremendous impact to humanity. We should expect a lot of pleasant and unpleasant surprises, but in the end all this will lead people to a new magical era. So say the analysts..

Introduction To Chinese Astrology: A Brief Presentation Of The First Six Chinese Horoscope Signs

Here is a brief presentation of the first six of the twelve Chinese Horoscope signs, their nature, characteristics and attributes. 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.

Rat (Yang-male nature)

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.

Ox (Yin-female nature)

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.

Tiger (Yang-male nature)

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.

Rabbit (Yin-female nature)

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.

Dragon (Yang-male nature)

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.

Snake (Yin-female nature)

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.

History of the Chinese Astrology Sign Information

Chinese astrology has been around ever since ancient astrologers stared at and examined the skies for foreshadowing, potential predictions of their country's future. Today, individuals worldwide are concerned with the history of the Chinese astrology, going so far as to check their Chinese horoscopes just as westerners daily check theirs. The Chinese zodiac comprises a twelve year cycle whereby each year is named for one of a dozen animals: the snake, sheep, tiger, dragon, boar, rooster, monkey, rat, ox, horse, rabbit, and dog. One person's future circumstances or destiny can be established through both the planets' positions and the date upon which he or she was born. Chinese astrology is still practiced in today's Chinese society, to the point where childbirth is "scheduled" to take place under a given zodiac period.

In accordance with the history of the Chinese astrology, one's traits, persona, future achievements and degree of success can be influenced via his or her specific zodiac. Let it be known however, an individual's horoscope is more complicated than the mere animal which depicts his or her year. The premise of Chinese horoscopes is also dependent upon the five elements relative to the planet under which the person was born. Earth, fire, metal, wood and water correspondingly represent the five planets, Saturn, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury. The specific combination of element and relative planet determines the personal character traits of those twelve aforementioned animal signs. For instance, someone who embodies the Tiger, its fixed element being wood, is hard to predict, a rebel, strong, fervent, venturous, and impetuous.

However, Chinese astrology, besides founding the zodiacs in an individual's year of birth, also utilizes the month(inner animal) and hour(secret animal) to determine that person's characteristics and unique traits. Even though one is a Monkey by virtue of being born in the year of the Monkey, he or she could internally be a Lion internally while secretly a Snake. But let us not stop there. Numerous additional considerations bear upon one person's zodiac: which troika or groups of three do the animals belong? This, too, is dependent upon characteristic similarities.

Chinese astrology allows others to evaluate you on a personal level while, too, allowing you to assess you and your personality. During this introspection, you can ascertain what will transpire regarding your happiness, achievements, and future good fortune. Even today, the chronicling of the Chinese astrology is still being established. Some purported the Beijing Olympics to be a celebration of 2008 as China's year of good fortune. But what happened instead? Numerous calamities befell that country ahead of the opening Olympic ceremonies.

Additionally, other nations, too, have referred to Chinese horoscopes in hopes of determining what a certain day will bring. Thai, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese zodiacs are all based on the Chinese calendar except for modest deviations. Chinese influence upon a multitude of civilizations is so expansive that Chinese communities worldwide continue to consult and even live by predictions established in Chinese horoscopes.

Whether it be science, entertainment, or a blend of both, rest assured that the history of the Chinese astrology will continue to intrigue as well as confound for many generations to come.

Today, many people have a fervent interest in the history of the Chinese astrology [http://www.history-of-chinese-astrology.info/history_of_the_chinese_astrology.html] and Chinese astrology sign information [http://www.history-of-chinese-astrology.info] as a whole. But questions persist: What's fact? What's fiction? What is actually science? Where's the delineation? Visit these pages to investigate for yourself the reasons behind this growing fascination.

Is Chinese Astrology Compatibility For Real?

We like to think of ourselves as modern people. If you look back at what was considered modern twenty years ago, or fifty years ago, it's easy to sneer at what people used to think of as "up-to-date."

Although we didn't "need" the internet in 1895, we certainly need it now. Are there any things we needed a hundred years ago, that we still need? Would there possibly be anything from fifteen centuries ago, that might still be relevant today? Yes, indeed.

We are still looking for love, aren't we? We still want to find "The One," don't we?

Fifteen centuries ago, "The One" meant something a bit different than what we mean now. In China, how your families got along and honoring your ancestors, meant just as much, if not more than, how well you and your bride or groom got along. But we are Modern People, so we can choose our spouses however we want, can't we?

Of course we can, but to do it randomly, which is the modern way, will only contribute to a zooming divorce and unhappiness rate, which is its direct result. To improve our chances of a "Perfect Match," we will use the same techniques that those ancient Chinese did: Chinese Astrology Compatibility.

Do you recall the Chinese zodiac animals? You know: the Year of the Rat, Year of the Ox? Rat energy, Ox energy, Tiger energy, and all the rest are tied to the acupuncture meridians. The meridians are the way that our emotions actually show up in our bodies.

The Chinese zodiac animals are the names for certain groups of emotions that are hot buttons in you, from the date, time, and place you are born. The Chinese zodiac animals are real personalities, not fakes or fictions, that everybody has! You need to know what your animals are, if you are going to find "The One."

With Chinese astrology, you have four personalities, not just one!

You have four different ways you aim your mind, not just one.

You have more than one way that life's energy flows through you.

You have many ways in which you are active or receptive.

That's a lot of different ways that a partner can match -- or clash -- with you!

Everyone behaves differently, depending upon which part of your life you're in at the moment, and which area of your life others pass through.

You don't behave the same way with your work mates as you do with your siblings. You don't behave the same way with your siblings as you do with your spouse, and you don't behave the same way with your spouse as you do with your children.

If he or she is "The One," you want to be able to get along with him or her, no matter where you are, and no matter which others may also be present! Chinese astrology compatibility nails this down for you.

When you marry someone, the relationship between you two changes, no matter what you try to do. Your mate is no longer exactly the person you went out with, and "clicked" with.

Wouldn't you like to know, in advance, that you will still get along with your mate when you go to see his relatives, when you finally tie the knot, when you both have children together? Going on a couple of dates, and hoping to "click," (even though it is the modern way) is a haphazard and unreliable way to find that out!

Chinese astrology will answer these questions for you. Chinese astrology will let you know in advance if your marriage can work out, or not. A thousand-year-old system, that has worked for countless couples, and the most reliable personality test ever devised, Chinese astrology compatibility is for real.

Chinese Horoscope - Find Your Chinese Astrology Sign

Everybody is interested in knowing what is going to happen in his or her in the near future. Whether he will be successful in exams, whether he will get married to his love, whether his business will work, what about the marriage life ahead and other lot many questions have always attracted people towards their horoscope. Every morning we get up and look for the horoscope page to know that day's fortune. Horoscope and various other astrological products have always allured the mankind.

Chinese horoscope is one such type of horoscope which is based on traditional astrology theories and calendars. Chinese horoscope is associated with different principles of Chinese philosophy like yin yang theory, five element theory, wu xing teachings, 12 earthy branches, lunisolar calendar etc. The Chinese form of geomancy, Feng shui, believes that balance between yin and yang and five elements determine the person's happiness and prosperity. These five elements have particular energy (qi) in a particular direction. Any imbalances in them invite negative energy towards a person thus interrupting in his smooth life.

Chinese horoscope is basically calculated according to the wu xing teachings. This says that five major planets Venus, Jupiter, mercury, mars and Saturn are associated with five elements metal, wood, water, fire and earth respectively. An individual's fortune is determined with the position of these planets along with position of sun and moon. Persons' time and place of birth also holds an important position.

Luni solar calendar is a calendar of 60 year cycle. Here two cycles interact with each other. One is the cycle of five elements named as wood, fire, earth, water, and metal. These five elements are present in their yin yang forms. The other one is of 12 animal signs starting from rat with ending on boar. These two cycles in combination forms 60 pairs or 60 years. They always start from yang wood rat and ends with yin metal boar. As animal signs are divisible by 2 so each zodiac sign can occur in either the yin form or yang form. You can find your Chinese astrology sign among this only. Start of every new zodiac is considered as start of new Chinese year. This comes around the end of January or February.

In China a person's traits are determined by not asking his/her age but by asking to which animal he belongs to. Chinese zodiac is divided in 12 year cycle and each year is represented by an animal. Each animal has different characteristics, traits and behavior according to which person's physical and mental attributes are decided. This also helps in knowing about the success and happiness in your life throughout.

The 12 animal signs are in the following order:

• Rat

• Ox

• Tiger

• Rabbit

• Dragon

• Snake

• Horse

• Ram

• Monkey

• Rooster

• Dog

• Pig (boar in Japan)

The concept behind these 12 animals is that once Buddha called all the animals for celebrating New Year's Eve. But only 12 animals were successful in reaching there. Moreover Ox was fast and was supposed to reach there for first but rat sat on ox's back and jumped just before the destination. Therefore it came first and ox was second.

Chinese horoscope is not used for fortune predictions as such but is very reliable in telling bout person's character, talents and biases. You can also try your Chinese fate by knowing your Chinese year and animal. Don't get tensed if it displays something horrible, negative or terrible. Just take this for fun and enjoy what's there in your luck.

Chinese Astrology - The Main Concepts of the Chinese Horoscope System

Chinese astrology is one of the ancient methods of foretelling the future. The rules and ideas that are used to foretell are very simple. This form of astrology is also being followed for several thousands of years and the predictions have come true for many people from all over the globe.

Just like any kind of astrology, even Chinese astrology predicts about wealth, health, money, marriage, love, children and problems. The method basically depends on the year of birth, month and birth date. The Chinese zodiac system is based on a 12-year astrological cycle instead of 12 months. Each year is attributed to an animal like the year of the dog, horse, rabbit, rat, monkey, rooster, pig, tiger, dragon, snake, ox and sheep. Twelve animals are used to represent the12 years. The nature of these animals corresponds to the nature of the person born in these years. Also, when people are to marry the natures are compared to see if they are compatible or not.

The predictions are also dependent on the five elements of nature, namely metal, fire, earth, water, and wood. The Chinese consider them as gods. The zodiac years are influenced by the five elements.

The cosmic force which controls everything else is the yin and the yang. The yin is the male and the yang is the female. Some people think that the yin represents the evil and the yang represents the good. However these two forces control the Chinese zodiac system and most of the predictions are made by taking all the things like the zodiac year, the elements, and the yin and yang into consideration. It can be quite complicated to understand and only an expert can do it.

Introduction To Chinese Astrology: A Brief Presentation Of The Last Six Chinese Horoscope Signs

Here is a brief presentation of the last six of the twelve Chinese Horoscope signs, their nature, characteristics and attributes. 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.

Horse (Yang-male nature)

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.

Sheep (Yin-female nature)

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.

Monkey (Yang-male nature)

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.

Rooster (Yin-female nature)

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.

Dog (Yang-male nature)

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.

Pig (Yin-female nature)

The Pig is the twelfth 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.

Astrology, Zodiacs and Horoscopes

Astrology gives an awareness of environment through power of knowing things without conscious reasoning.

The study in astrology includes an imaginary belt in the heavens that encompass the paths of most of the planets and that is divided into 12 constellations or signs known as Aries, Cancer, Aquarius, Capricorn, Taurus, Pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Virgo. At some places their symbols are also used to represent them.

Actually astrology commonly includes the study of positions and movements of celestial bodies such as moon, sun, stars and planets (solar system).

In the field of astrology, commonly people get attracted towards the horoscope because as we know that horoscope includes the study of personality analysis and clear understanding of nature of a person along with daily routine life issues. This is the reason of people's interest in the horoscope section.

The zodiac is divided into 12 zones of the sky.These zodiacs are named by looking at the patterns formed by any of 88 groups of stars. The term zodiac stands for "Circle of Life". Actually this is all calculated by observing the circle covered by the sun in the sky for an entire year and a zodiac sign is categorized by the motion of sun around the zodiac region.

Astrological studies also help to predict the upcoming natural disasters this is because the arrangements and various events of celestial bodies are very participating in the earthly events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, droughts, tornadoes etc.

If we see by a common point of view, it seems very illogical that how can an astrologer predict about the earthly events through observing the movements of sun, moon, stars, planets etc. but it must be true because earth is also moving like sun and moon, so, there would be a definite relation between them and their events as, in solar and lunar eclipse our earth is involved same as in earthly events, other heavenly bodies could be involved.

We are well known of the word "Horoscope" which is a diagram of the relative positions of planets and signs of the zodiac at a particular time for use by astrologers to foretell events of a person's life. Horoscope is a very common subject of astrology and this word is derived for Greek language Horoscopus or Horoskopos from hora "hour"+skopen "to look at".

Horoscope is a forecast for future and to make the analysis of one's personality by studying the celestial bodies by a method called Astrology.

In ancient times, the kings and rulers etc. definitely used to take an advice of their particular astrologer before taking any important decision regarding their country as it was the ritual or trend of that time.

Astrology is not only the belief of the people living at one specific part of the world but, it is strongly used in almost all countries and their habitats. Indians, Chinese, Hellenistic, etc.It is also true that Chinese horoscope is very accurate regarding the social issues and personality analysis.

Astrology is a very vast field and it is a very interesting study because it gives ideas of many related things and a guidance too. When a person gets confused for some decision, the horoscope helps him out to take one decision and get rid from his double mindedness.

Chinese Astrology Explained

Are you confused about the meanings of Chinese astrology? Would you

like to know more about this 5000 year old art?

Chinese astrology is based on the lunar calendar. As with astrology

from other cultures, a horoscope is created using the position of the stars and

planets for each of the twelve signs of the zodiac based on the year of

birth.

The Twelve Chinese Signs

Rat

Rats are charming and attractive to the opposite sex. But despite

outside appearances, they are restless and this sometimes comes across as

aggressiveness. Rats are great with money, and love to pounce on an

opportunity. They are also very generous to their friends. They love

people and large gatherings and always have others around. They also run

in many intimate circles and like to be involved in everything they can, leading

them to sometimes attempt to do too much. They are good writers and

speakers, and success comes easily to them.

The Five Elements

There is another layer to Chinese astrology that is less well known than the

Chinese signs. Chinese astrologers use a 60 year cycle, made up of five

sets of the twelve signs. The five repetitions of the signs each

correspond to a different element, adding more intricacy to the animal.

The five elements are Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth.

In Chinese astrology, the elements are part of a cycle; one is not higher or

better than another. In fact, they have a cyclical relationship, both in

positive and negative ways, so that:

Water makes Wood
Wood makes Fire
Fire makes Earth
Earth makes

Metal
Metal makes Water

and:

Water destroys Fire
Fire destroys Metal
Metal destroys Wood
Wood

destroys Earth
Earth destroys Water

In addition, they can be openly aggressive and hostile:

Water resists Fire
Fire resists Metal
Metal resists Wood
Wood

resists Earth
Earth resists Water

So now you know the basics of Chinese Astrology. Enjoy exploring your

Chinese sign!

Introduction to Chinese Astrology - The Main Concepts of the Chinese Horoscope System

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So, these are the key elements of Chinese Astrology. I will not go into further details in this article but let's summarize:

- 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.

- 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.

- And lastly, we have the cosmic power named as Yin and Yang, that symbolizes the eternal harmony.

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.
