Chinese Astrology Is Mysterious And Effective
By Jane Mineralis
Astrology is one of the most ancient of Chinese philosophies.
With a complex mix of calendar cycles and associations
to animals, Chinese astrology is as mysterious as it
is effective. Unlike other disciplines, the culture
embraces astrology with bright, wonderful celebrations
and integrates beliefs into their everyday lives.
Chinese astrology is the divination of the future from
the Chinese calendar. This basic cycle has been constructed
from two cycles: the 10 heavenly stems (the five elements
in their yin and yang forms) and the 12 earthly branches,
or the 12-year cycle of animals referred to as the Chinese
zodiac. The Chinese animal zodiac also operates on a
cycle of months or ’moons’ and of hours of the day.
Animal Signs For The Month Are Inner Animals
The animal signs assigned by year represent how others
will 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 the Chinese version 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).
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 that
a person might be. An individual’s monthly animal sign
is called their inner animal and is concerned with what
motivates a person.
The Inner Animal Dictates Your Love Life And Inner
Persona
Since this sign dictates the person’s love life and
inner persona, it is critical to a proper understanding
of the individual’s compatibility with other signs.
These are all critical for the proper use of this Asian
astrology.
In Chinese astrology, each sign is linked to a month
of the solar year and is thereby also linked to a season.
The elements are believed to impart some of its characteristics
to the sign concerned. The fixed element of each sign
applies also to the year and hour, and not just the
monthly signs. It is important to note that the fixed
element is separate from the cycle of elements which
interact with the signs in the 60 year cycle.
Important To Know The Exact Hour Of Birth
The Chinese zodiac is also used to label times of day,
with each sign corresponding to a "large-hour,"
which is a two-hour period (24 divided by 12 animals).
It is therefore important to know the exact time of
birth to determine it. The secret animal is thought
to be a person’s truest representation, since this animal
is determined by the smallest denominator: a person’s
birth hour. It is a person’s own true sign, upon which
their personality is based.
We are all familiar with the Chinese new year celebrations
that are rich with traditional foods, colorful lion
dances and boldly displayed symbols from Chinese astrology.
While in most societies practitioners are tantamount
to a subculture, in Chinese culture everyone is practically
expected to observe astrology.
Businessmen won’t make deals on some days, couples
try to have babies in a certain zodiac year and particular
addresses are believed to be good luck. This is an example
of how the astrology beliefs of this culture shapes
the way people live.
