It is a good idea to know and become friends with your seasonal animal, as it can help you in many ways. It is much more than your relationship. It is also your health, luck, happiness and wealth.

In the east they have great respect for the twelve animal signs, and many people have their animal represented in the form of small figures in their homes, just as it is very popular to have jewelry, key rings etc. with the animal.

The cultivation of the animals is done to highlight their innate qualities and personalities. It is believed that the animal of the year for your birth can bring luck, happiness and wealth – if you are good friends!

For an Easterner, it is important to know which weight distribution of the five elements and which animal sign is associated with one’s birthday. These are natural landmarks in a world where you define yourself based on the relationships you enter into i – more than one defines oneself as a detached individual.

For a Chinese, astrology is thus not an independent discipline that can be practiced at will, but an integral part of Chinese daily life where everything is subject to the goal of creating optimal harmony between yin and yang.

Which, by the way, is not the goal in itself.

The state where there is balance and harmony between yin & yang is not the end in itself, but the position that will potentially bring about the greatest progress, happiness, prosperity and luck, for the individual, the group, the village, the community, the nation and the world as a whole.

Since this optimal state of harmony is assumed to be of a fleeting nature, it can hardly be predicted, let alone consciously and purposefully achieved and maintained. And thereby the mindset of constantly seeking towards the optimal state of harmony becomes a way of living, more than it becomes something to deal with separately.

The Chinese New Year!

In the Chinese calendar, a month always starts when there is a new moon, that is, when the moon is between the earth and the sun and is therefore not visible. When the Chinese New Year starts it is therefore a new moon and when it ends it is a full moon. Exactly, it starts on the day of the second new moon after the day of the winter solstice.

There are 60 possibilities for combining the ten heavenly stems (the five elements in their Yin, feminine version and their Yang, masculine version) as well as the twelve earthly branches (the twelve animal signs). The Chinese years are named based on these two components, which are used sequentially in a 60-year cycle.

The first year of each cycle is called Jia-Zi (Wood-Yang-Rot), the second year Yi-Chou (Wood-Yin-Ox), etc. When you reach the end of one of the components, you start over. The current 60-year cycle ends in 2043.

The twelve Chinese animal signs are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Due to translation from Chinese, the twelve animal signs are sometimes referred to something different. For example, “Ox” is called “Bull” or “Goat” is called “Sheep”. However, these are only linguistic variants. There are only twelve Chinese zodiac signs.

For Thursday, Friday, Saturday, several animals are associated. The Chinese calendar has a 60 year cycle and for example the first Thursday in the cycle is assigned to the Rat as it has the lowest number of the animals associated with Thursday (the Rat and the Pig). The next Thursday in the cycle is assigned to the Pig and so on until the 60-year cycle is over.

This means that those whose birthday falls on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday must consult the Chinese calendar to see which animal is associated with their birthday and thus is their True Animal.
