The last obstacle for the animals consisted of a river in front of the imperial palace - the Bull swam first, but a rat settled on his back, and when the bull came ashore and began to shake himself off, the rat jumped off his back and ran first into the palace, so she was given the first place, the bull received second place, the Tiger swam third, then a rabbit (cat), a dragon, a snake, a horse, the last to cross were a goat, a monkey, a rooster, a dog and a pig (boar).

All this can only add nuances to the individuality of a person and his features, which could be formed precisely in his environment.

Legends say that about ten centuries ago in the distant past, the Buddha sent an invitation to all animals, promising to reward them, on the condition that they come to him on time. It is known that animals are usually engaged in non-human affairs, and in Eastern culture it is generally accepted that the essence of an animal lies in how it sleeps, reproduces or searches for food, and follows the instincts of self-preservation.

According to this legend, twelve animals came to the Buddha's invitation. All animals came in the following order: from the beginning Rat, Ox (Ox), Tiger, Rabbit (Hare), then Dragon, Snake, Horse Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig (Boar). According to other sources, instead of a Hare, a Rabbit or a Cat came, and instead of a Boar, a Pig came, instead of a Rat, a Mouse came, and instead of a Sheep, a Goat came.
As a sign of fidelity, the great god Buddha rewarded them with immortality, and assigned them one year of reign. And now people born in a certain year will be endowed with the features and qualities inherent in this animal.

Annual table of correspondence to the signs of the zodiac according to the Eastern (Chinese) horoscope

Eastern horoscope sign- this is a single microcosm that has its own laws that are not connected in any way with other signs. There is no need to try to look for patterns, structure in the trend of all signs. Chinese astrology has guided and inspired the behavior of millions of people of Eastern culture for many centuries, it is hard to even imagine having such great power.
It is worth noting that each animal of the Eastern calendar corresponds to the Western signs of the zodiac horoscope.
Therefore, the Rat, associated with December, is always depicted as Sagittarius, the Ox (Ox), patronizing January, finds a second essence in Capricorn, the energetic Tiger is like Aquarius, etc. Any person who is familiar with the Chinese lunar cycle will always listen to wise advice man - the Snake, will seek success in cooperation with the meek Sheep and start a new business with the clairvoyant Monkey. It is best to play with the carefree Horse and you can always count on the Hare (Rabbit) and the unbending Dragon. In addition, Eastern people know that a critical Rooster can only be tamed by a calm disposition, a Dog by persuasion, an optimistic Tiger only by a fight, and a Rat by direct persuasion.
In order to understand how the inhabitants of the Eastern countries linked astrological practice with their everyday life, it is necessary to note the main principles. First of all, they wanted to know what a person can have in a given period: material wealth, honors, power, fame, good luck, success in love, prestige, profession, home, friends, attitude towards others, erudition. It is quite natural that a person asks himself the question of who I can become in a certain year and what to do. Despite the banality of such questions, this gives the key to understanding the entire Eastern culture, the bearers of which are trying to find their own inner way of liberating a person and acquiring quite real knowledge. The Eastern astrological school may seem a little encouraging to us. And this is correct, because the inhabitants of the East express their thoughts differently. They do not seek to see the shortcomings and flaws of the horoscope sign, but reflect on how you can become a Tiger, Sheep or Dog under certain life circumstances. Rather, we are talking about directions that imply a flexible rhythmic movement forward, because every animal has its own rhythm and gait. And everyone who wants to develop and progress should heed the advice of the Eastern sages.

First life - Rooster (baby)
Second life - MONKEY (1-3 years)
Third life - GOAT (from 3 to 7 years)
Fourth life - HORSE (7-12 years old)
Fifth life - BULL (12-17 years old)

Tenth life - DRAGON (55-70 years)
Eleventh life - CAT (70 - 85 years old)

Horoscope of compatibility of signs of the zodiac.

Chinese astrologers divide all animal signs into four groups (three in each). It is generally accepted that people born under the signs of the same group have similar characteristics that determine the course of their thoughts, 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, just the innate features of their personalities successfully complement each other and contribute to the disclosure of the best sides of other people from the same group. It has been observed that partnerships, friendships and especially marriages between those born under the signs of the same group are most successful.

Competitors- Rat, Monkey and Dragon. All these signs are very gravitate toward rivalry and decisive action. Rats need the self-confidence and courage of the Dragon, because. extremely insecure. In turn, the Dragon is too direct and sometimes he just needs the quick wit of the Rat or even the cunning of the Monkey. The latter highly appreciate the intelligence of the Rat and the enthusiasm of the Dragon.
Intellectuals- Snake, Rooster and Ox. People belonging to these signs are great pragmatists, strong personalities, often endowed with great abilities, self-confident, purposeful and decisive. Among them there are thinkers and seers. The Bull is constant and firm, but it 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 Ox, and the Snake, with all its ambition, can reach great heights if it is assisted by the Ox or the Rooster.
Independent- Horse, Dog and Tiger. These people - emotional, impulsive, restless and extremely principled - are a kind of "free spirits" of the Chinese zodiac. The Horse is a born strategist, but in order to translate something into reality, she needs a decisive Dog or an impulsive Tiger. He can also give an outlet to the restlessness of the Horse, while only the Dog is able to calm her down. The Tiger will also benefit from communicating with the Dog - her unfailing good nature will keep him from excessive cruelty.
Diplomats -

The alternation of twelve animals and sixty years is what the Chinese horoscope for years represents. Each animal rules for a whole year and a special character and mood of this animal is superimposed on this time. In order for your life to be harmonious and correct, it must be coordinated with the mood of the ruling being.

There are 12 creatures in total, these are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep (Goat), Rooster, Dog, Pig.

But not everything is so simple, 12 animals correspond to 5 elements (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), which is why the cycle takes 60 years. Of course, the order of alternation of animals is not accidental, according to the ancient Chinese legend, the great Buddha said goodbye to our world, and it was in this order that animals came to them.

Oriental horoscopes from Razgadamus

  • The Chinese horoscope, as many probably know, is built on repeating sixty-year cycles, in which various combinations of 12 symbolic animals and 5 elemental elements alternate.
  • In addition, in Chinese astrology there is a practice of determining animal signs not only by the years of the eastern horoscope, but also by months, days and even hours.
  • Thus, having special knowledge and accurate data about the date and time of birth of a particular person up to hours and minutes, it is quite possible to make more than 100 thousand absolutely different horoscopic variations.

And although such detailed Chinese horoscopes are amazingly accurate, their compilation requires extensive knowledge, which requires many years of study. The eastern calendar (horoscope) by years, on the contrary, is easy to use, accessible to every layman and practically does not lose anything in accuracy compared to the personal calendar, which often takes quite a lot of time to compile.

Even the most ardent skeptics, without reading horoscopes, know exactly about their sign, its characteristics.

It is difficult to name the time and date when the concept of the signs of the zodiac appeared. But it is known for certain that they began to be mentioned as early as the 1st century AD. As we know them today, they were so many centuries ago.

To create a theory about cyclicity in nature, the priests made a lot of observations and noted a pattern. Ancient astrologers noticed 12 constellations in the night sky at once and noted that all events that occur on Earth are directly related to the Sun. They noted that the solar disk passes through all the constellations within 1 year. Astrologers called this path the zodiac circle and divided it into 12 constellations. They are now familiar to us as signs of the zodiac.

Stubborn and focused Aries

This sign of the zodiac is associated with the ancient Greek legend about the children of the Titanide Nephele. In order to save her children from the evil stepmother, she sent a golden ram to help the children. He had to save them and move them to a safe place. But on the way, the girl could not stay on the ram and fell into the strait, where she drowned. The second child, a boy, upon arrival at a safe place, sacrificed an animal. Zeus himself, the god of Olympus, accepted him and took him to heaven, creating the constellation Aries.

People who were born during this cycle are distinguished by stubbornness, inflexible character and hot temper. Representatives of this sign always go ahead and do not think about the consequences. Thanks to their focus and strength, they can achieve any goal.

Hardworking and independent Taurus

There are many legends about the constellation Taurus, but the key is the ancient Greek myth. Zeus was in love with the girl Europe - the daughter of the Phoenician king. To master it, he went to the trick. Zeus turned into a white bull and kidnapped the beauty while she was with her friends. He transferred Europe to the island of Crete, where he took possession of it. The image of the head of a bull was reflected in the sky, and became known as the constellation Taurus.

According to ancient Greek legend, Zeus had 2 sons. Princess Leda bore him children. The brothers grew up strong and powerful, accomplished many feats. Their names were also mentioned in the legend of Jason and the Golden Fleece. When one of the brothers died, the second asked Zeus to take immortality from him and reunite with his brother. God did just that by placing the twins in heaven.

  • Gemini people are very interesting due to their duality.
  • At the same time, a person can be a joker, the soul of the company, and a serious, executive worker.
  • But they have a drawback - Gemini is inconsistent and fickle.

Sensitive and patient Cancer

The name of this zodiac sign was associated with the legends of Hercules. Cancer is mentioned during the second feat, when a young man fought in the waters in the Lernaean Hydra. In the midst of the battle, a cancer dug into Hercules' leg, which weakened him a little. But the son of Zeus immediately killed him. The goddess Hera, who does not like Hercules, considered the cancer to be bold, and as a token of gratitude and faithful service, she took him to heaven.

Representatives of the Cancer sign have such qualities as: nobility, disinterestedness, patience and caution. Initially, it may seem that Cancers are suspicious, melancholic. But they have such inner strength that any goals set will be achieved.


Noble and energetic Leo

The name of the constellation Leo was associated with the first feat of Hercules. It was with him that the son of Zeus fought. Despite the strength and dexterity of a wild animal, Hercules strangled him with his bare hands. Zeus was so proud of his son that he placed the constellation Leo in the sky, in honor of the first feat of his offspring.

  • People born under the constellation Leo are energetic, self-confident and ambitious.
  • This sign has an overestimated conceit, but this does not prevent them from achieving their goals.

Practical and balanced Virgo

But it is known that in ancient times the Virgin was depicted with a bunch of grass in her hands, thereby symbolizing the image of the goddess of fertility - Demeter.

People - Virgos are practical, smart, logical individuals. The character of the representative of this zodiac sign is calm, balanced. The main advantage and, at the same time, a disadvantage is the truth - they do not deceive and only tell the truth, even if it hurts.

Open and friendly Libra

There are no legends associated with this sign. In addition, this is a unique sign of the zodiac, as it is named after a common object - scales. For the first time this cycle of the year was called so in ancient Rome. It symbolized the autumnal equinox.

  • If a person was born under this zodiac sign, then his main virtues are: openness, friendliness, gentleness and incredible luck.
  • The life of such people is always balanced, runs smoothly, sometimes even boring.
  • From such people you will not hear insults or humiliating words.


Mysterious and sensible Scorpio

  • Scorpios are great humanists and cynical, cruel people.
  • It is difficult to predict what it will be like in a few minutes, but this sign is not without nobility, justice and prudence.

Characteristic and sincere Sagittarius

During the battles with the Olympic gods, Hercules hit Chiron's knee with a poisoned arrow. He was in terrible agony, but showed nobility and transferred his immortality to another titan - Prometheus, who then sacrificed himself to save people.

Purposeful and moral Capricorn

A very interesting Egyptian legend, it is associated with the zodiac sign Capricorn. The hero of the myth is the rural god Pan. When he was escaping from the persecution of the monster, he decided to turn into a goat and hide. Jumping into the Nile River, he began the transformation, but did not finish the job, as he plunged into the water. As a result, the part of the body that sank into the water turned into a fish tail, and the upper part became like that of a goat.

  • Capricorns are incredibly resistant to all troubles and difficulties.
  • It is impossible to name goals and objectives that would be impossible for a representative of this zodiac sign.
  • The disadvantage of this is conflict with other people.

How is the beginning of the year calculated according to the Eastern calendar?

The beginning of the new year according to the eastern calendar, therefore, is the 1st new moon in the sign of Aquarius (1st new moon after January 21).

  • Incorrectness is possible here due to calculations regarding the period, in any case, one should, in the end, take into account the 1st new moon in Aquarius.
  • And indeed, accordingly, the beginning of the new year according to the eastern calendar in different years, to put it mildly, varies from January 20 to February 20.
  • Pay attention to the fact that any year is presented in the form of a totemic animal, element and color.

The Chinese (eastern) horoscope is inextricably linked with the Chinese calendar. It must be emphasized that when compiling the Chinese horoscope, first, to put it mildly, the rhythm of movement in the sky of the Moon, Saturn and Jupiter is taken into account. I must say that the Chinese New Year does not coincide with the usual one and comes, as we constantly say, a little later, therefore, people born in January, February or March can, as it were, refer to the sign of the previous year. It is also possible that when talking about the eastern horoscope, they mainly mean the Chinese horoscope, although, in the end, both the Chinese and the Japanese "animal calendar" can be assumed. Of course, we all know very well that in fact, this is one and the same calendar, only widespread in different areas.

In the countries of the East

In the countries of the East, the astrological calendar 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. Each year in the eastern horoscope bears the name of 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 this is not quite the same animal, because in the full circle of the eastern horoscope there are five different Rats, Bulls, Tigers, etc. The animal remains, but its element changes.

The Eastern calendar assumes the presence of 5 elements, each element corresponds to certain colors. The elements change in the following order: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Thus, the cycle is completely repeated after 60 years.

You can determine your element by the last digit of the year of your birth:

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

That is why the year is also called by color, for example, 2011 is the year of the White (metal) Rabbit (Cat).

elements

Each of the elements slightly changes the animal that personifies the year, giving it a peculiar shade. For example, the Fire Goat - active, active, possessing creative abilities, differs from the Earth Goat - a restrained, dry realist, busy with earthly, practical affairs.
You can use the eastern horoscope to improve mutual understanding with your family, friends and relatives by identifying their signs and elements, which means understanding the deep essence and motives of actions. Animal signs will help determine the prospects of relationships between people (friendly, love or business).

It is better to start with the general characteristics of the 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 certain animal sign. This means that a person born in the hour of any animal will have the features of this sign. Here are the correspondences of birth time to animal signs:

  • 23.00 - 01.00 - time of the Rat
  • 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

The time of birth can help to find out some other nuances of a person's inherent character traits. It has been noticed, for example, that a Rat born at night is much more bold and agile than one born during the day. The bull shows his famous performance from the early morning, while at night he needs rest. The tiger, hunting down its victims at night, seems to transfer its energy of cruelty to a person of this sign, born in the dark.

  • The morning Rabbit is the most energetic of all, as is the Dragon, and the early evening is most favorable for the Snake.
  • The horse is most active during the day, and the Sheep is most active in the early morning. A monkey born just after dinner is endowed with a truly diabolical cunning, and a Rooster is most significant if born at dawn.
  • Evening Dogs with their devotion stand out even against the background of other Dogs, and the Boar is still sleeping at this time.

We dream of getting rid of the failures and worries that have bothered us for the past 12 months, and we look to tomorrow with hope, trying to predict what it has in store for us? And, of course, we are curious: what symbolic animal will come into its own with the last strike of the clock at

Myths and legends

Let's look at what animals are by year. Many legends and myths are associated with its origin. The most famous one says that once the Buddha called all the creatures of the earth to him on an important matter. And those 12 that appeared before the eyes of the deity before the others received a wonderful reward: to rule over the destinies of peoples and states for 12 whole months. So the eastern calendar of animals by years was created.

Astronomical data

It is difficult to say now how everything actually happened. It is only known that it is based on the astronomical cycles of the two main celestial bodies for the Earth - the Sun and the Moon, as well as Saturn and Jupiter. The Eastern calendar of animals by years includes a periodicity of 12 years. This is how long it takes Jupiter to make a complete revolution around the Sun. And if we take into account that in ancient times the nomadic peoples inhabiting the present territories of the East Asian region revered Jupiter as their patron and endowed it with mystical properties, it is understandable why the eastern calendar of animals by years is calculated exactly for 12 years. The Chinese were the first to think of it. It was almost 4 thousand years ago. And now this calendar is the main one not only in China, but also in Japan, Korea, Kampuchea, Mongolia, Thailand and many other countries. Moreover, the signs of the Zodiac according to the eastern calendar are gladly recognized in the Old and New Worlds as symbols of the year. And in Russia too!

Let's list those lucky ones whom the Buddha noted with his special disposition. It is known that the animals resorted to it not all at once, but one by one. As a result, preference was given to one or the other. The countdown of the new year began with the second full moon, which came after the winter - December in our opinion - solstice. according to the eastern calendar, they begin with the Rat. Further, in order, follow the Tiger, the Rabbit (or Hare) and the Dragon, the Snake and the Horse. The last animal, by the way, is a symbol of the outgoing year, and we can hear the rhythmic clatter of its hooves for several more days. And in place of the Horse, a restless hard worker with a noble, but restive character, the melancholic, sometimes loving to put out her horns and buck, but in general a peaceful domestic Goat, is in a hurry. The signs of the zodiac according to the eastern calendar are not the same in all Asian countries. The goat is revered in China. And in Japan, they believe that 2015 will be ruled by the Sheep. This is followed by Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig (or Boar). This is such a heavenly zoo!

Elements and elements

Astrologers note that the symbols of the Eastern calendar are not limited to animals. They include the main natural elements and elements. These are Fire, Wood, Earth, Water, Metal. Each has a specific symbolic meaning. The tree is the personification of the East itself, the place from where the sunrise begins, the beginning of life, spring, youth, flowering, emergence, the birth of all life processes. The main one among the Chinese - the Dragon - is located precisely in the eastern part of the house or temple. Fire is the South, it is associated with. Metaphorically, the element of fire is equated with progress, prosperity, the disclosure of one's own potentials in various spheres of life, the growth of prosperity and abundance. It is also associated with fame, self-realization. Thus, Fire is the manifestation of the most powerful and bright flowering, the culmination of something.

Philosophy of the East

The table of the eastern calendar will be incomplete without the elements of the Earth - the central one in the eastern philosophical system. In the cosmic spheres, its correspondence is the Polar Star, the prototype of the earthly imperial power. Therefore, the earth element is associated with ordering, legitimizing any processes, manifestations of control and order, as well as confrontations because of them. And if the Tree was associated by Chinese philosophers with spring, then the Earth is the middle of summer, the ripening of fruits and fruits, as well as the wise time for the maturity of human life. Metal is reliability, strength, justice, hardness. The element is associated with the Sun, just setting, and is associated with the West - the sunset. Metaphorically, it means the sunset of human life, wise contemplation, "time to collect stones" and reap the harvest. And water, fluid and changeable, is considered the most incomprehensible and mysterious by the eastern sages. It is associated with the North, old age and its inherent wisdom, the rejection of false illusions, peace.

Goat Dereza

But let us return to the present day, to our urgent affairs. The coming year, according to the eastern calendar, is the year of the Goat. What interesting things can be learned about him from astrological characteristics? In the 21st century, we will meet the "bearded beauty" for the second time - the first came in 2003. In Russian folklore, a goat is a rather capricious and crafty animal. It is difficult to please her, Dereza is much in the dirty tricks, therefore she is peeled, and her sides are peeled. At the same time, a goat is a nurse, a kind, unpretentious, very clean animal, her milk is healthier and more valuable than cow's. In the East, especially among the poor, Dereza was very much appreciated. But the attitude towards goats was somewhat different: they were both dissolute, and stupid, and pugnacious. And for some reason "old". The abusive expression "old goat" wanders from people to people, from one national culture to another.

Symbol of the year

What is the characteristic year of the Goat according to the eastern calendar? If we take into account the fact that goats are very fond of affection, they respond to it with pleasure, then from the years of which it is the totem, one should also expect calmness, goodwill, peace and the wise resolution of many global and minor conflicts. Calmness and stability, without sharp jumps and changes, should please everyone who is tired of crises and changes and is an adherent of eternal values. Therefore, if you treat others with sincere friendliness and cordiality, the support of Goat-Dereza is guaranteed to you! The ruler of the cosmic mysteries in 2015 will be Jupiter - a planet that brings with it world harmony and order, the highest justice and establishes the most important laws of human coexistence and mercy. It is no wonder that many people associate with the "year of Jupiter" hopes for positive changes in their lives.

Pastoral with sheep

According to the Eastern calendar, the Sheep shares the New Year's throne with the Goat. She was chosen as a totem by the inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun. Sheep, as we know, are extremely peaceful and sweet animals. Someone considers them stupid, true, but in Christian mythology, Christ himself was compared with a lamb - a meek and defenseless lamb. Nature, indeed, did not take care that the lambs could stand up for themselves - they have neither strong hooves, nor sharp horns, nor ferocious fangs. That is why they are so dependent on the person. But the year of the Sheep, in this case, should not be warlike, with cataclysms and natural disasters. On the contrary, the meek Sheep should bring peace and calm.

"Horned" varieties

It was not in vain that we noted the connection of the Chinese calendar not only with the animal world, but also with the natural elements and elements. Indeed, in accordance with them, each totem abides in one form or another. So, the past years 1931 and 1991 and the coming decades in 2051 refer to the Metal Goat. The Water Goat was 1943, 2003 and will be 2063. The Wooden Goat walked around the world in 1955, will return in a few days - in 2015, and then nods its horns affably in 2075. The kingdom of the Fire Goat fell on 1907 and 1967, then it will come in 2027. And, finally, the Earth Goat greeted the world with its "bleep" in 1919 and 1979, and we will hear it again in 2051. Happy new year friends? Yes, Happy New Year!
