CHINESE HOROSCOPES
 

Chinese Horoscopes is more then just a birth year. Like western astrology, a day is divided into twelve parts and then divided every two hours.

HISTORY    
This ancient perspective on our modern lives comes from the ancient Oriental art of divination and character reading. The first cycle of this Zodiac was introduced in 2637 BC by Emperor Huang Ti. This 'art form' developed as the system emerged and joined with philosophy. Some fascinating insights into a persons character, lifestyle, and emotional makeup are revealed. The roots of this interpretive art, are based deeply in the classical philosophy of Confucius, Lao-tse and the Yi Jing (I Ching).

According to legend, the order of the twelve signs was determined by Buddha, upon celebration of the Eastern New Year landing on different dates in accordance to mid-January to mid-February.  Buddha invited all of the animals in the kingdom together for a meeting.  12 creatures attended. The first animal to arrive was the Rat.  He jumped jumped of the Ox so that he could be first.  Then the Tiger arrived in front of the cat.  The others that followed in order were :  Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and the Pig.  Buddha gave each animal a year of its own, bestowing the nature and characteristics of each to those born in that animals year.

The Eastern Zodiac is perhaps the oldest known horoscope system in the world. Ancient writings have been dated as early as the fourth millennium BC and have been preserved in the monasteries of Tibet, China and Southeast Asia.

Each animal designation or ‘earthly branch’ is symbolic and represents a specific behavioral psychology. It could, perhaps, be called the ‘Myers-Briggs’ personality inventory of ancient eastern philosophy. 

The Asian zodiac uses calculations of yearly or lunar year periods, rather than months, to order the signs. Each of the twelve animal signs lasts for an entire year, beginning on various dates between mid-January through mid February. While each sign repeats every 12 years, the specific combination of animal and element occur only once every 60 years. 

While each one of us possesses some qualities of all 12 signs, each person has a dominant sign and birth element. Your birth year can paint a striking picture of attitude, mannerisms and potential. The purpose of this interpretive art was, and is, self-enlightenment.
