Chinese horoscope is a description of your character and things that will happen to you based on the twelve signs of Chinese zodiac or animals. Dating from 2637 BC, the Chinese horoscope is the longest chronological record in history. In Chinese horoscope, there are 12 animals believed to influence each of your traits, behaviour, thought, relationship and your life. Categorizing and judging one’s personality using these animal signs is still used regularly in modern day Chinese horoscope or astrology. While Western Horoscope is based upon the months of the year, Chinese Horoscope is based upon a twelve year lunar cycle. Your sign is determined by the year in which you were born (to be accurate you must use a Chinese calendar). The twelve signs of the Chinese horoscope start with the Rat, follow by the Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and the last in horoscope order would be the Boar. Each of these signs has their own distinctive advantages. Such as the Dragon and Tiger have advantages in strength or power, Monkey and Snake are master in the intellect and brainy matter, all peace-maker and kind-hearted animals like Goat for example, Goat is positioned at eight in Chinese horoscope order and number 8 is believed to be the lucky number to Chinese so those who born under the year of the Goat are given in the form of luck and fortune. The start of a new zodiac is also called Chinese new year therefore is celebrated by all Chinese throughout the world. There are also five elements in Chinese horoscope which are combined with the zodiac signs.That five elements are Wood, Fire, Earth,Metal, and Water. |
