You probably know your zodiac sun sign, but do you know your Chinese astrology sign? Were you born in the year of the Tiger, the Snake, the Horse or the Dragon? More importantly, according to this ancient oriental astrology what does your sign reveal about you?
Like western astrology, Chinese astrology is a method of prediction which has been around for centuries and which defines certain characteristics about human nature. While both systems base their information on the date of birth, the Chinese rely primarily on the year of birth.
In addition, Chinese astrology also has 12 signs. These signs are all represented by animals and each sign lasts one year. The Chinese year begins in January or February; the dates vary from year to year.
Arrival of the Animals
You may be wondering why this ancient oriental system uses animals for the signs. According to Chinese legend, thousands of years ago, Buddha decided that the Chinese nation needed reorganization so he called all the animals together for a meeting. However, only 12 animals came to the meeting. The first to arrive was the Rat, then the Ox, followed by the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and finally the Pig.
Buddha honored the animals in the order in which they arrived by naming a year after each animal. The people who are born during a particular animal's year inherit some of that animal's nature and disposition.
Am I my Sign?
Certainly, this likeness shouldn't be taken literally. However, if you examine your own character, as well as the personality of friends and family members, you will be surprised by the similarities between people and their Chinese animal sign. Oxen tend to be extremely hard-working. Snakes usually have an innate wisdom. Dogs are known for their strong loyalty. You will find a more detailed description of all of the animals' characteristics in this special little book.
Chinese astrology provides you with a wealth of information concerning the signs which can be very advantageous to you. Look up the characteristics of your own sign. Do you have similar strengths and weaknesses as your animal? If you become aware of these basic characteristics of your nature, you will have a better of chance of making life coincide to your liking.
Being conscientious of your strengths or your more difficult side will help you to realize when you should react and when you should hold back. Just think how this knowledge will help you in your relationships, your career, your finances. Furthermore, this valuable information will come in handy when it comes to understanding others and their way of approaching life. Chinese astrology will open up a whole new world to you which will be informative, productive and definitely entertaining.
