The Chinese Zodiac is the oldest in the world; from 2637 BC. Chinese astrology is also based on Oriental philosophy of wisdom, derived from Taoism, which is rooted in the shifting patterns of life on earth and the seasons. It perceives the Universe as an eternal ebb and flow between the two principles of the Male and Female, known as Yin and Yang. The Two primal forces of Yin & Yang are represented by the Sun and the Moon There are also Five Elements: (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water). These Five Elements are representations of the Five visible planets of old. (The Sun and Moon were not regarded as planets because they are the primal forces of Yin and Yang. Five planets represent the other main forces that are the basis of the Oriental Zodiac. Planets & ELEMENTS: Mercury WATER North & Winter Clarity, communication and the transmissions of ideas. Represented as persuasive, communicative, firm, constant, unobtrusive, flexible, intuitive, diplomatic, unimposing. But can be inconstant, indifferent, passive. Mars: FIRE South & Summer Action, motivation, and intellect. Represented as decisive, confident, aggressive and born leaders,love adventure, love innovation, always on the move, warm, dynamic speaker, dominant, original, sympathetic, emotional. But; can be selfish, inconsiderate and impatient. Venus METAL West & Autumn Wealth and financial success. Represented as success-driven, confident, determined, self-reliant, strong with strong impulses, energetic, powerful. But; can sometimes unreasonable, inflexible and stubborn. Saturn: EARTH The Center Stabilize, solid, reliable, and confident, Represented as serious, logical, methodical, excellent deductive powers, intelligent, objective, materialistic, good planner, wise, conservative. But; can lack imagination, reliability, discipline. Jupiter: WOOD East & Spring Growth, creation, and nourishment cycles. Represented as confident, creative, with varied interests, systematic, cooperative, interesting, unselfish, with high moral values. But; may not finish what they start and can be inconstant & lack motivation. The Elements also demonstrate the Yin-Yang polarity. Each element can manifest itself in either a destructive or constructive force. For example: (Fire can burn and destroy or give warmth and light). Even these elements undergo a cycles of change. Conductive/Constructive Elemental Cycle: From Metal (liquifys) we get Water, from Water (rain) we get Wood,(plantlife) from Wood (burned) we get Fire, from Fire (Ashes) we get Earth. Controlling/Destructive Elemental Cycle: Metal is controlled (melted) by Fire, Fire is controlled by Water (extinguished) Water is controlled by Earth (channeled) Wood is controlled by Metal (cut). Thus; the Five elements as Positive, and Negetive, are really Ten Elements. They are considered as Ten Element Mothers, each giving birth to 12 children. Six Signs are ruled by Positive elements; and Six Signs ruled by Negetive Elements. These Twelve children represent the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac and are governed by their Five Element "Mothers". When these are considered individually, each element's sign appears only once every 60 years calculated by multiplying 12 signs by Five elements. This makes the Chinese calendar based on a 60-year cycle, rather than the Twelve Years, people normally perceive. This is the 78th Cycle, started on February 1984, and will end on February 2044. The Twelve Animals personality types; called: "The animal that hides in your heart". follow the periods of the LUNER Year, rather than the path of the Sun, as in Western Astrology. However; each Sign has a corresponding Month it governs & a companian Western Zodiac SUN Sign. Note though that the Signs are considered as the Calendar Month listed rather than the customary dates. |

MYTH: According to one legend, the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from Earth. Only 12 animals came to bid him farewell. As a reward he named a year after each other one in the order that they arrived. First came the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Thus are the 12 signs today. Another Legend credits the semi-mythical "Yellow Jade Emperor", the Ruler of Heaven created them. in 2637 BC. One story: When he was to choose the animal signs, he had Two basic criteria: Any animal that wanted to be accepted either had to be of use to humanity or be on of the first to arrive at the Heavenly Palace on the day when the animals where being chosen. Each sign has it's own story regarding it's placement. Another story: The Jade Emperor ruled the heavens and all they contained but he had never been to earth, and he wondered about the shapes and colours of al its creatures. One day he summoned his chief advisor. "I have ruled for many years," said the Emperor, "but I have never seen these strange animals. What do they look like? I want to see their features and characteristics; I would like to observe the way that they move and hear the sounds that they make. How intelligent are they, and how do they help humanity?" The advisor told him that there were thousands of earthly creatures - some walked, others flew, some crawled and others slithered. It would take many months to gather examples of each and present them. Did his majesty want to see them all? "No, I shall waste too much time. Select the twelve most interesting animals and bring them to me so I can grade them according to colour and shape" The advisor thought of all the animals he knew and decided to send an invitation to the rat, and told him, in turn, to give an invitation to his friend the cat. Further invitations were sent to the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the ram, the monkey, the rooster, and the dog asking them to present themselves before the Emperor at six o'clock the following morning. The rat was proud to receive this invitation and immediately set off to reveal the good news to the cat. The cat was also overjoyed but, afraid that he might oversleep, made the rat promise to wake him in time. That night the rat pondered on how handsome and sleek the cat was and how ugly he would appear in comparison. He decided that the only way to prevent the cat taking all the praise was to let him oversleep the following morning. At six o'clock eleven animals lined up before the Jade Emperor who slowly inspected them. When he came to the end of the line he turned to his advisor. "They are all interesting but why are there only eleven animals?" The advisor had no answer but quickly sent a servant down to earth to catch the first animal he saw and bring it back to heaven. The servant arrived on a country road and saw a farmer carrying a pig to market. "Please stop," entreated the servant, "I need your pig now! The Jade Emperor wants to see this creature immediately. Think of the honor of displaying this pig to the ruler of heaven." The farmer was duly impressed by the servant's news and so he handed over his pig, which was then carried off to the parade. Meanwhile the rat was afraid he would go unnoticed and so he jumped on the ox's back and began to play a flute. The Emperor was so charmed by this unusual animal that he gave him first place. The Jade Emperor then gave the ox second place since he had been generous enough to let the rat sit on his back. The tiger looked courageous and was given third place, and the rabbit, because of his fine white fur, was given fourth place. The Emperor thought the dragon looked like a powerful snake with legs and so placed him fifth. The snake was sixth because of his curving, sinuous body, the horse seventh because of his elegant bearing, and the ram eighth because of his strong horns. The monkey was agile and alert so was given ninth place, the rooster had such fine feathers he was tenth, and the watchful and protective dog was given eleventh place. The pig stood at the end of the line; he may not have been as interesting as the others but he had made the effort to be there and was allowed the final place. When the ceremony had finished the cat came running into the palace and begged the Emperor to consider him, but it was to late - the animals had been chosen. When the cat saw the rat standing in first place he chased him with intent to kill. This is why even today, the cat and rat cannot be friends. |
