Just when you thought you knew everything about Chinese Astrology

In Chinese astrology the animal signs assigned by year represent what others perceive you as being or how you present yourself. It is a common misconception that the animals assigned by year are the only signs, and many western descriptions of Chinese astrology draw solely on this system. In fact, there are also animal signs assigned by month (called inner animals) and hours of the day (called secret animals).

To sum it up, while a person might appear to be a dragon because they were born in the year of the dragon, they might also be a snake internally and an ox secretively. In total, this makes for 8,640 possible combinations (five elements x 12 animals in the 60 year cycle (12 x 5 = 60) , 12 months, 12 times of day) that a person might be. These are all considered critical for the proper use of Chinese astrology


This is fun!

Besides being born under a signature animal for the Chinese Zodiacs,there's the elements of Earth,Wood,Wind,Water and Metal.

Which determines your wealth,intellect and success in life.
For eg.Your born under the year of the Dragon say at 11:34pm your(Water element)and you'll be slow and have obese problems.

But if you were born at 11:29pm your(Earth element) you'll have a strong health and success with wealth.

Agree or Disagree?

I just go down to a Chinese Restaurant and ask for a Zodiac placemat.

Happy reading.

As there are more people alive ever than before, there just ain't enough souls for the re-incarnation. Which explains why so many folks nowadays have no soul.

That idea was also put forward in a scene from the movie "Before Sunrise".

Most restaurant placemats don't follow the chinese new year etc.

Sometimes a new year doesn't start until middle of Feb!

There is also Yin and Yang!

well.....

there's a thinking that because there are more people now than in the past, the original souls (which is limited in number) are now splitted into 2-3 souls... hence , "Dopplegangler effect"...

You don't necessary reincarnate back to the same species or lifeform therefore the population of one particular species is irrelevant.
