Animals of the eastern horoscope. Affiliate compatibility of signs. Sensitive and patient Cancer

The Eastern Zodiac calendar in China is called “Sheng Xiao” (literally “to resemble birth”). Unlike the well-known Zodiac with the symbols Aries-Pisces, the Chinese horoscope is compiled not according to the solar, but according to the lunar calendar. The eastern horoscope consists of 12 animals, each of which “rules” for a whole year.

But not everything is so simple in the Chinese horoscope! Each of the twelve animals corresponds in turn to one of the five elements: wood, earth, fire, water and metal. That is why the eastern horoscope has a very long cycle - 60 years (12 animals * 5 elements).

What practical benefits does the Chinese Zodiac have? In the East they believe that a horoscope has a significant impact on a person’s character. Some even try to “guess” the conception and birth of a child by the time of the influence of one or another zodiac sign. You can also calculate the compatibility characteristics according to the eastern horoscope - in friendship, in love or in marriage.

    Zodiac signs by year of birth

    According to ancient Eastern legend, when Buddha left this world, he called all animals to say goodbye. 12 animals came, to whom he gave rule on Earth. In order to determine who should reveal the list of animals, the emperor of heaven arranged a competition for them: the animals had to reach the opposite bank of the river as quickly as possible. The Rat, realizing that it could not be equal to larger animals, asked the Bull to swim together, he agreed, and the Rat climbed onto his head. The bull is a very good swimmer, so he swam first, and that’s when the rat jumped to the opposite bank and was first. Therefore, the Rat is considered smart and cunning.

Mail Lady invites you to get acquainted with horoscopes compiled on the basis of the Chinese astrological system, widespread in almost all countries of the East Asian region.

Astrology is believed to have originated in China around the third millennium BC. Experts in this field have always enjoyed great honor and respect; both government officials and wealthy merchants turned to them for advice.

Around the middle of the second millennium BC, China developed a 60-year cycle based on the alternation of 12 animals (each ruling one year) and five elements (fire, water, earth, wood, metal) that bring special traits to character person born in a particular year.

The animals that the Chinese have entrusted to control over the years - rat, ox, tiger, rabbit (cat), dragon, snake, horse, sheep (goat), rooster, dog, pig - were not chosen by chance. According to legend, it was these animals that came to say goodbye to Buddha when he left the Earth.

According to another version, the rat was instructed to invite other animals to the emperor, who was supposed to choose stewards for the years; according to the third, a swimming and running competition was arranged between them. All legends agree that the rat achieved the right to open the cycle not by honest means, but by cunning, and therefore people born in the years allotted to it are characterized by resourcefulness.

It must be remembered that the traditional Chinese astrological cycle is based on lunar calendar, different from Gregorian. Therefore, people born in January or early February sometimes “submit” to the sign of the previous year. You can determine in which year according to the Chinese calendar you were born using special tables.

Twelve animals, each of which patronizes its own year, are divided into four “triads”.

The first triad includes the Rat, Dragon and Monkey. People born in the corresponding years are energetic and active. They can be very kind or very evil, but they don't know the middle. The Rat and the Dragon are distinguished by a rather authoritarian style of communication; the Monkey achieves its goal in a more diplomatic way. For the most part, people of these signs are smart, charming, but tend to trust stereotypes.

The second triad includes the Ox, Snake and Rooster. They all achieve success through hard work, constant and tireless efforts. Their hard work is worthy of praise, and their ability to plan their actions deserves admiration. In addition, people born in the corresponding years are usually kind, patient and punctual.

The third triad consists of the Tiger, Horse and Dog. They are attracted to each other like a magnet and are distinguished by a special, humanistic view of the world, which, however, does not prevent the Horse from being selfish. People of these three signs are characterized by the ability to deftly conduct a conversation, convince people, and easily establish contacts. Each of them has many acquaintances, but truly needs only one a loved one who can be trusted with all the secrets.

The fourth triad is Rabbit (Cat), Sheep (Goat) and Pig. They are distinguished by their desire to beautiful life, heightened sense of beauty and expressed creativity. All of them are artistic, have developed intuition and good manners. Their souls are created for love and turn it into real art. But for all their merits, the signs of the fourth triad seem to lack a certain internal rigidity, a special energy necessary for real success.

All this can only add nuances to a person’s individuality and his characteristics, which could have been formed precisely in his environment.

More detailed information by zodiac signs, both by eastern years separately and by month - Western astrology, You can look in the relevant sections our website Zodiac Signs.ru.

There are many ways to analyze the character and fate of a person - Zodiac horoscope, cards, numerological calculations, palmistry and the like. From this extensive list, we can separately highlight the Eastern horoscope by year, which is also quite reliable and can shed light on a person’s entire life, and will also allow us to understand why he behaves one way and not another in certain situations.

I really like the Eastern (Chinese) horoscope because of its simplicity and information content. Let's look at the features of this system together.

Today, the Eastern calendar is more than two thousand years old. An ancient legend says that once the Great Buddha summoned all living beings to a solemn event. It was understood that the one who was lucky enough to enter the Buddha’s domain first of all would be forever preserved in human memory.

The very last obstacle in the path of the animals was the river flowing near the imperial palace. The Bull was the first to overcome it, but he had a rat sitting on his back, and as soon as the bull, once on the shore, began to shake off the water, the rat quickly jumped off his back and was the first to run into the imperial palace.

For this reason, it took 1st position in the Eastern calendar, the Ox is in 2nd position, the Tiger is in 3rd position, the Rabbit (or Cat) is 4th, the Dragon is 5th, the Snake is 6th , Horse - 7th, Goat - 8th, Monkey - 9th, Rooster - 10th, and Dog and Pig (Boar) - 11th and 12th, respectively.

The distribution of living beings in the Chinese calendar occurs in this sequence. At the same time, they move cyclically and again find themselves in the 1st position every 12 years.

Recommendation from an astrology expert. Knowing the characteristics of your personality according to the Eastern (Chinese) horoscope will allow you to fully demonstrate your potential and contribute to a more effective realization of your abilities and talents.

What do all twelve signs of the Eastern horoscope symbolize?

The ancient Chinese gave each of the 12 zodiac living beings a certain symbolic characteristic - that is, a sign. All animals are divided into six pairs in such a way that the characteristics of one of the animals in tandem are the opposite of the characteristics of the second living creature. Thanks to this approach, it became possible to achieve harmony between Yin and Yang.

Moreover, the sequence of living beings is also not random: in China the most important always comes first, and all other signs are placed in descending order. Just as the more powerful, dominant Yang principle always comes first, followed by the calming, harmonizing Yin principle.

Now I suggest you familiarize yourself with the signs intended for each of the animals:

  • Rat – associated with wisdom;
  • Bull - this animal is associated with hard work;
  • The tiger is a symbol of courage;
  • The rabbit is the personification of caution;
  • The dragon is certainly the very manifestation of power;
  • Snake - personifies flexibility;
  • Horse - indicates the desire to move forward;
  • Goat – associated with unity;
  • Monkey - acts as a symbol of variability;
  • Rooster - unlike the previous sign, on the contrary, indicates stability;
  • Dog – associated with fidelity;
  • Pig – is associated with friendliness.
