Chinese astrology comes from the ancient
Oriental art of divination and character reading. This art form
developed as the Chinese writing system emerged and joined with
philosophy.” There are different accounts of how the 12 animals,
which represent each year, came about, but a common explanation
comes from Chinese legend. “The order of the 12 signs was determined
by Buddha upon celebration of the Chinese New Year which occurs
between mid January and mid February. Buddha invited all of the
animals in the kingdom together for a meeting, but only 12 creatures
attended. The first animal to arrive was the Rat and then the Ox,
the Tiger, the Cat, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse then the Goat,
the Monkey, the Rooster and lastly the Dog and Pig. Buddha gave each
animal a year of its own, bestowing the nature and characteristics
of each to those born during that animal’s year.” Discover the
basics of Chinese astrology because, as the Chinese say, “This is
the animal that hides in your heart.” Chinese astrology has guided Chinese culture for over 5,000 years. Chinese astrology relies on information such as the day, month, year, and time of birth to reveal insights into a person's lifestyle, personality, health, career and compatibility with others. |
