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.

| Eastern calendar

Eastern (Chinese) calendar of zodiac signs.

The Eastern calendar, which has been in effect for several thousand years in Vietnam, Kampuchea, China, Korea, Mongolia, Japan and some other Asian countries, was compiled during the time of the semi-legendary Emperor Huang Di in the middle of the third millennium BC. The Eastern calendar is a 60-year cyclical system. It is based on the astronomical cycles of the Sun, Earth, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. The 60-year cycle includes the 12-year Jupiter and 30-year Saturn cycles. The most important thing for the life of nomads, and in those days the main peoples of the East were nomadic tribes, the 12-year period of Jupiter was considered. The ancient Chinese and Japanese believed that the normal motion of Jupiter brought benefits and virtues.
By dividing the path of Jupiter into twelve equal parts and giving each part the name of a specific animal, the peoples of Asia created the solar-Jupiter 12-year calendar cycle. Legend has it that all the animals were invited by Buddha to celebrate the first New Year. Buddha promised to give the animals a whole year, which would be named after them. Only 12 animals came to Buddha's invitation - a rat, a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster, and a dog. The last one to come to meet Buddha was the pig.
According to another legend, Buddha called animals before leaving the earth. A rat, a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster, a dog and a pig came to say goodbye to Buddha. The grateful Buddha gave these 12 animals one year of reign each.

The eastern calendar begins with the year of the rat and ends with the year of the pig. In the East, it is widely believed that these animals have the ability to impart certain traits to the one born in this year of the animal, both good and bad.
In sixty years, Jupiter makes five revolutions. This number corresponded to the worldview of Chinese natural philosophy. The number five was a symbol of the five elements of nature - wood, fire, metal (gold), water, earth, which correspond to color designations (blue, red, yellow, white, black).
The Chinese sexagenary was formed as a result of the combination of the duodecimal cycle (“earthly branches”), each year of which was assigned the name of an animal, and the decimal cycle of the “elements” (“heavenly branches”): five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) , each of which corresponded to two cyclic signs representing masculine and feminine(therefore in Chinese calendar years go in a row, corresponding to different animals, but one element).

12 animals, 5 elements - hence the cycle of the eastern calendar is 60 years. This cycle begins with the Year of the Wood Rat and ends with the Year of the Water Pig. The next 60-year cycle of the eastern calendar began on February 2, 1984. Animal years repeat once every 12 years, and elements repeat every 10 years.
The choice of these planets when creating the eastern calendar is explained by the fact that the Sun influences the development of the human spirit, the Moon - on physical development bodies, Jupiter - governs the behavior of people in public life, and the planet Saturn forms individual characteristics person.

IN Lately In Russia, the eastern calendar is becoming increasingly popular. The Eastern New Year does not have a fixed date. New Year By eastern calendar occurs on the first new moon occurring in the zodiac sign Aquarius. The Sun enters the sign of Aquarius on January 20 or 21 and ends on February 18. Therefore, the New Year according to the eastern calendar begins from January 20 to February 18, at which time one fabulous animal passes the reins to another.

Eastern calendar signs.

Years of the animal according to the eastern calendar.

In Eastern countries, it is very common in which years are combined into twelve-year cycles, just as in the Western horoscope the year is divided into twelve zodiac constellations. Every year in the eastern calendar is named after an animal. People born this year are assigned the qualities inherent in this animal, according to life observations and Eastern mythology.
Every twelve years the cycle repeats and the animal returns, but it is no longer quite the same animal, because in full circle in the eastern horoscope there are five different Rats, Bulls, Tigers, etc. The animal remains, but it changes.

Elements of the signs of the eastern calendar.

The eastern calendar assumes the presence of certain colors corresponding to each element. The elements change in the following order: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Thus, the cycle repeats itself completely after 60 years.
You can determine your element by the last digit of your year of birth:

“4” or “5” - Wood (color green, blue)
“6” or “7” - Fire (color red, pink)
“8” or “9” - Earth (color yellow, lemon, ocher)
“0” or “1” - Metal (white)
“2” or “3” - Water (color black, blue)

Each of the elements slightly changes the animal representing the year, giving it a unique shade. For example, the Fire Goat is active, active, possessing creative abilities, differs from the Earth Goat - a reserved, dry realist, busy with earthly, practical matters.
you can use Eastern horoscope to improve mutual understanding with your family, loved ones and friends, identifying their signs and elements, and therefore understanding the deep essence and motives of actions. Animal signs will help determine the prospects of relationships between people (friendships, love or business).
It's better to start with general characteristics animal sign.
Even more accurate data can be obtained by determining the animal sign of the hour of birth. According to Chinese astrology, the day is divided into 12 periods, each of which corresponds to a specific animal sign. This means that a person born at the hour of any animal will have the traits of that sign. Here are the correspondences between birth times and animal signs:

23.00 - 01.00 - Rat time
01.00 - 03.00 - Ox time
03.00 - 05.00 - Tiger time
05.00 - 07.00 - Rabbit time
07.00 - 09.00 - Dragon time
09.00 - 11.00 - Snake time
11.00 - 13.00 - Horse time
13.00 - 15.00 - Sheep time
15.00 - 17.00 - Monkey time
17.00 - 19.00 - Rooster time
19.00 - 21.00 - Dog time
21.00 - 23.00 - Boar time

Eastern calendar signs.

Chinese astrologers divide all animal signs into four groups (three in each). It is generally accepted that people born under the same group of signs have similar characteristics that determine the way they think, which ultimately allows them to get along well with each other, support each other and get along together. This does not mean at all that they have the same character or actions, it’s just that the innate characteristics of their personalities successfully complement each other and contribute to the development of best sides other people from the same group. It has been noticed that partnerships, friendships and especially marriages between those born under the signs of the same group are the most successful.

Competitors- , And . All these signs are very keen on competition and decisive action. Rats need the Dragon's self-confidence and courage, because... extremely unsure of themselves. In turn, the Dragon can be too direct and sometimes simply needs the ingenuity of the Rat or even the cunning of the Monkey. The latter highly value the intelligence of the Rat and the enthusiasm of the Dragon.
Intellectuals- , And . People belonging to these signs are great pragmatists, strong personalities, often endowed with great abilities, self-confident, purposeful and decisive. Among them are thinkers and seers. The Ox is constant and firm, but he is favorably influenced by the brightness of the Rooster and the charm and dexterity of the Snake. The directness of the Rooster is balanced by the diplomatic Snake or the self-confident Bull, and the Snake, with all its ambition, can reach great heights if it is assisted by the Bull or the Rooster.
Independent- , And . These people are emotional, impulsive, restless and extremely principled - a kind of "free spirits" of the Chinese zodiac. The Horse is a born strategist, but to make anything a reality it needs a decisive Dog or an impulsive Tiger. He can also give vent to the Horse’s restlessness, while only the Dog can calm it down. The Tiger will also benefit from communicating with the Dog - her constant good nature will keep him from being excessively cruel.
Diplomats- (Cat), and . People of these signs are reserved, simple-minded, not great intellectuals, and are not attracted to risk. But they are modest and responsive, sociable and sensitive, tenderly care for each other and are always happy to do something nice. The Rabbit's insight balances the Sheep's generosity, and the latter needs the sense of priorities that the Rabbit gives her. The power of the Pig complements the forgiving nature of the Sheep and the strategic thinking of the Rabbit.

The signs of the eastern calendar are often depicted in a circle in a certain order, sometimes compass directions are marked on it. Looking at such a circle, it is not difficult to notice that each sign is directly opposite the other sign. These are antagonistic signs, and they are considered completely incompatible! There are six such pairs, and within each pair an astrological conflict invariably develops. The causes of these conflicts lie deep in the nature of people born under opposite signs; they are involuntary and manifest themselves mainly in how they react to surrounding reality and other people. These are the pairs:

The validity of these observations is also confirmed by the fact that in China, parents, as a rule, do not approve of children marrying people 6 years older or younger. They are well aware that in such a union conflicts and insoluble problems will certainly arise, and therefore in love it is very dangerous to ignore this incompatibility. Another thing is friendship, which in most cases is not harmed by astrological conflicts, because friends usually don't live together. In business, however, incompatibility can also be a hindrance, because completely different people in this case, they are forced to spend a large amount of time side by side every day.
Do not despair if the results of the analysis of relationships according to the eastern horoscope are disappointing; pay attention to the signs and elements corresponding to the month and hour of birth, because under their influence characteristics A person's personality can both weaken and strengthen.
In China they say that if the fate destined for a person from above cannot be changed, then his lot can be improved. They believe in the unity of "tian", "ti" and "zhen" (heaven, earth and man), meaning that the two components of a happy fate - earthly luck and human (the third is heavenly luck) - are in the hands of the person himself.

Unlike widely famous zodiac with the symbols of 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).
