Twelve animals of the Chinese horoscope
Chinese (East) horoscope is based on a twelve-year-old lunar cycle, in which each year is dedicated to a certain animal. The ancient wise men experienced an experienced way that it was the marked animals and their habits that have a certain influence on the nature of the people born in this or that year of the cycle.

The Chinese calendar (Sheng Xiao) literally denotes "like a birth." The east calendar has no fixed date, but begin with the first young month after the last (twelfth) full moon of the outgoing year. Therefore, the Chinese New Year is always celebrated in different dates - in January or February. An offensive of the Novolhetia still has its borders, which are determined by two dates - January 21 and February 20.
Why among all the representatives of the animal world were chosen only 11 individuals and why did the representative of the mythical creatures of the Dragon be played between real animals? The animals were not chosen by chance: each of them believes the Chinese brings good luck. Some animals from the horoscope were traditionally kept in the household (for example, a rooster, bull, sheep, etc.). It is these animals that brought good luck to the house and prosperity. The remaining 6 animals of the zodiac are found in Chinese traditional culture (snake, tiger, monkey, rabbit, rat and dragon).
According to Chinese esoteric teaching, animals in the zodiacal circle are not arbitrary, but taking into account the number of their paws / hoofs / claws. They are strictly alternating an even and odd number. Opens an eastern calendar of animals by the years of the rat, because she has 4 fingers on her front paws, and on the rear - five . That is, the rat symbolizes an even and odd number at the same time. However, with the addition of numbers 4 and 5, the odd number 9 is as a result, so the rat is a symbol from the odd side.
In China, animals are considered as representatives of the realm of the mind and give characteristic differences:
- Rat symbolizes wisdom;
- Bull is distinguished by hard work;
- Tiger characterizes courage;
- Rabbit - Caution symbol;
- Dragon expresses strength;
- The snake personifies flexibility;
- The horse symbolizes the desire of ahead;
- Goat symbolizes unity;
- Monkey expresses variability;
- Rooster expresses consistency;
- The dog symbolizes loyalty;
- Pig symbolizes friendly.
As you can see, the traditional perception of the representatives of the animal kingdom in the Chinese are somewhat different from European.
There is a legend that these 12 animals came to say goodbye to the Buddha when he left the land. On another legend of animals, a rat chose a rat at the request of the emperor when he decided to appoint the ruler for each year. According to the third legend among animals, the competition was arranged for them to demonstrate their strength and dexterity. The rat has managed to take first place due to tricks and dodes, that is, dishonest.
Four Calendar Triads
The Chinese calendar in the years of animals is divided into 4 triads:
- The first is a monkey, dragon and rat.
- The second is a rooster, snake and bull.
- Third - dog, horse and tiger.
- Fourth - Pig, Sheep and Rabbit.
People matching signs First Triad , very energetic and active. They are united by the tendency to adhere to certain stereotypes in their lives. The changeability of opinions and priorities represents them in the eyes of society as people unpredictable and unreliable.
They are suitable for vivid energetic partners, because others they can be suppressed by their strength and power. Astrologers recommend entering the marriage union only with representatives of their (first) tirada.
The first triad of the Chinese horoscope
People matching signs Second Triad differ in hard work and purposefulness. Everyone is given in life extremely hard work, so they are distinguished by tremendous patience and the developed power of will. These are balanced personalities that can organize business and manage it. People of the second triads are well harmonized with each other in all life spheres - marriage, friendship and business.
The second triad of the Chinese horoscope
People matching signs Third Triads Different with sociability and can easily establish contacts with others, thanks to the gift of belief. They also differ in a humanistic look at the world, despite some horse's egoism. Representatives of this triad are distinguished by faith in good, decency and an ideal partner.
Third Triad of the Chinese Horoscope
People whose year of birth corresponds to signs Fourth Triads Different with exquisite taste and desire for luxury and beautiful life. They are artistic, well brought up and aesthetic. A well-developed intuition helps them in life, but for the present success in life they lack hardness. In the Union with representatives of their triads, they will feel safe and comfort.

Five elements of the Chinese horoscope
According to Chinese wise men, not only the symbolism of a certain beast is affected, but also an element of the element that controls one or another period. Thus, 5 control elements were allocated:
- Wood;
- Metal;
- Fire;
- Water;
- Earth.
A cycle of 12 years in aggregate with elements expands to 60 years. So, the year of the fire rabbit occurs in no twelve years, but after 60. That is, the combination of the animal and the element appears once to the generation. The ancient wise men explained that after 12 years the zodiac animal is returned, but there are already several in other quality and characteristic. Because the Chinese calendar on the years describes us 5 different dogs, tigers, boars, etc.
Why were these 5 elements of nature (elements) were noted? Because, according to the Chinese view, they are the main, and of them consist of all things of the Earth.
- The element of the metal manages financial flows, so born under his patronage will not experience a lack of money.
- Element of water imposes an imprint of emotional mobility. These people are very sensitive and know how to quickly adapt to new circumstances.
- Element of the tree stimulates the development of creative abilities, as well as these people differ in developed thinking and softness of character.
- Element of fire imposes a passionage imprint. These are very energetic and dynamic people, but hot-tempered.
- Signs running the elements of the Earth are distinguished by stability and reliability, sometimes they demonstrate mercantility or misfortune.
How can the element be changed in the nature of the animal and man? To radically change the character of the element is not able, but it can give it a kind of shade. For example, a fiery goat is characterized by extraordinary stubbornness and developed creative abilities, and the Earth Sheep is a mercantile realistic with landed views on life.
