So, which animal sign are you?
The Chinese Zodiac 十二生宵 is based on a twelve-year cycle with each represented by an animal sign. During the ancient times, the Chinese sages and astrologers chose to use farm animals to represent these stars so that it’s easier for the peasants whom are mostly farmers identify them.
These signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and boar. It is calculated based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar system and the 10,000 year calendar. Each animal sign is also paired with 1 of the 10 elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Metal or Wood) in either the Yin or Yang polarity. For instance, 2018 is known as the Earth Dog 戊戌 and 2019 is the Earth Boar 己亥.
Here are some popular misconceptions about the Chinese Zodiacs
Normally, a person identifies him or herself with the animal zodiac of the YEAR he or she is born in.
For example, if someone is born in 2018, he or she is a Dog. Or if someone is born in 2019, he or she is a Boar. Reading a forecast of an animal sign based only on the year, is at best ¼ complete. The reason is simple, a person actually has FOUR animal signs nested in his or her own BaZi chart. There are four pillars, Hour, Day, Month and Time of birth forming eight characters (hence the name BaZi which directly translates to Eight Characters). On the top is the Element and the bottom the Animal Sign, each representing the different kinds of Qi imprinted in your chart and thus, one’s Destiny.
