Happy Chinese New Year!
Permalink Closed



Astrology is certainly one of the most ancient philosophies still in existence in China. Some estimate it to be more than 3,000 years old but recent study of more esoteric beliefs place it further back into the clouded past of human history. In ancient China, and up until today Astrology has been used to predict what happens to countries, the outcome of wars, economic trends and much more.

Chinese Astrology is organized according to 12 Animals Signs. One Chinese legend attributes the creation of the animal signs to the semi-mythical Yellow Emperor in 2637 B.C. According to another 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 we have 12 signs today.

The animal ruling year in which you were born exercises a profound influence on your life. As the Chinese say, "This is the animal that hides in your heart".

The Chinese calender differs from the Western calender -- The beginning of a Chinese new year changes every year, on dates ranging between late January and late February. If you were born early in the year, you may be interested in looking at the description of the animal of the year before. It may suit you better!

Dragon here, too. Chinese New Year is a big deal here - in Vancouver it's pretty much as big as traditional New Year's.

Guess what I did when I read my fortune? I laughed. Alone.

Mine was "Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you at all." Strangely applicable to my life right now.

And apparently the year of the sheep is supposed to be boring for me. Lame.

Maddie,


Just so you know... this is not the year of the Sheep.  That is last year's astrology.  This is the year of the Rooster.  I didn't get a chance to find this year's predictions though.

Oh good. I don't think last year was that boring. Hopefully I can expect even better things.

Happy New Year (not just for the chinese, heh).  I wish I was still getting red envelopes too!


ETA My fortune cookie:


No matter what goes wrong, there is always someone who knew it would.


That would be my mother.

Same here.


My fortune reads: Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind.


Now if I could only find a qualified, eligible bachelor to make this fortune believable.   Fly Swat

Here's what mine said:


Of all things you wear, a smile is most important.


Why do I always get stuck with the crap animals?  A crab, a rat, WTF?  Nobody like those animals!
