Chinese (eastern) horoscope by year – animals

The Chinese horoscope is represented by 12 zodiac signs, with each sign belonging to a specific animal. According to the most popular legend, it was these animals that were able to overcome the wide and cold river in order to come to the Buddha, who called all the animals to him, but not all of them came.

Only the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig reached the Buddha. As a sign of gratitude, the Buddha assigned each animal the year when a certain animal begins to rule.

In the East, the lunar calendar is taken as the basis – the year begins not on January 1, but on the first full moon after January 21. Therefore, in the eastern horoscope, the beginning of the new year is celebrated between January 21 and February 20. People born during this period should pay special attention to calculate their year.

The eastern horoscope consists not only of 12 signs, but also of 5 elements – Wood, Water, Metal, Earth and Fire. They make up a 60-year cycle of the calendar, which opens exactly the year of the Rat and the element of the Tree, and closes the year of the Pig and the element of Water. The current cycle began in the year 1984 of the Rat and the elements of the Wood, and will end in the year 2044 of the Pig and the elements of Water.

Under external balance and friendliness, a real monster can be hidden, overflowing with stupid energy and aggression. Therefore, you should be very careful when communicating with such a person so as not to accidentally let the genie out of the bottle.

At the same time, the Rat can be cute and charming, and incredibly dangerous. This combination not only attracts, but also repels, so there are always a lot of people next to the Rats. As a rule, Rats have a sweet and pleasant appearance, they are very purposeful and hardworking.

For Rats, savings and large acquisitions are very important. Therefore, they are very economical, thrifty, they know how to properly manage money. But they can simply forget about their frugality and frugality if they fall in love and literally lose their heads from feelings. Therefore, the Rat is always very generous towards the person whom he loves with all his heart.

The rat is incredibly neat, sometimes it turns into a real pedant and begins to demand the same from others. The rat easily gets out of balance and loses control, as it is simply not able to think clearly in difficult situations and does not know how to maintain self-control. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the year of the Rat’s reign there are always many cataclysms.

People who were born in the year of the Ox do not like to talk much, are patient and always inspire confidence. But sometimes the Ox becomes very eccentric and if he loses his patience, he can literally lose his temper.

If it so happened that the Bull lost his temper and lost his balance, it is better to hide as quickly and as far as possible. The fact is that the rage of such a person simply knows no bounds and is capable of sweeping away everything in its path. While communicating with such a person, one must not forget for a minute that this is a real bull, so it would not be the best idea to constantly shake a red rag in front of him.

By nature, the Ox is rather slow and restrained, balanced and inconspicuous, methodical and accurate. Outwardly, he may seem very modest and reserved, but in reality he is a very intelligent and original person.

To succeed, the Ox can call almost anyone to frankness. However, it is worth saying that such a person has a tendency to contemplation and loneliness. The bull is a very fanatical person, so he can join a variety of sects. Very often he becomes a real chauvinist or a hypocrite, so he regularly hears well-deserved criticism in his direction.

The bull is not only stubborn, but also merciless towards people who may try to prevent him from achieving the desired result.

But he does not tolerate innovation at all, he always tries to adhere to the established framework, traditions and conventions. Ox Man Ox Woman Compatibility

But if, as a result, nothing is achieved, he will not blame himself, but the one who helped to choose a specific path.

The tiger is quite a generous and sincere person, while he is really created for serious business. That is why he always has great and global plans, but they are far from always feasible.

The first half of the Dragon’s life is filled with various difficulties and trials, so he demands quite a lot from his loved ones. But because of his own unbridled temperament, failures may occur in his subsequent life. The life of the Dragon only from the outside seems easy and carefree, but in reality it is difficult for him to live without the support and help of friends. Dragon ManDragon WomanCompatibility

Snake

Years of birth: (1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013)

Horse

Years of birth: (1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014)

This is a rather unbalanced nature, therefore, it often loses what was not only obtained with great difficulty, but was also important. The horse is incredibly talkative, cheerful, sentimental, she likes grandiose, large-scale and vibrant spectacles.

Due to its own inconstancy, the Horse often gets tired of both work and love. But it is enough to rest a little in the fresh air and quickly returns to its usual course, continuing to move in the given direction.

People around often notice such a negative trait of the Horse as selfishness. Such a person will not pay attention to anything around, especially if he wants to get something. In addition, the Horse is able to even step over his beloved. Therefore, in the first place, she herself will suffer.

Goat

Years of birth: (1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015)

This is one of the most selfish and capricious signs in the entire eastern horoscope. The goat is incredibly elegant, aristocratic, beautiful, amorous and simply charming. Of course, she has every chance to become an incredibly charming creature on the planet, but everything is spoiled by her restless, wayward and sometimes too annoying character.

The goat is never completely satisfied with the result, which constantly brings the inner circle into confusion. In terms of character, this is a real invader who is ready to appropriate absolutely everything that lies badly. It doesn’t really matter if she needs it or not.

The main disadvantage of the Goat is that it is completely devoid of a sense of time. She is completely unfamiliar with such a concept as punctuality, therefore she always keeps herself waiting and does not hesitate to be constantly late for meetings, even if they are important business negotiations. It is this indiscipline that causes great resentment on the part of other people.

A goat is able to conquer everyone, especially if it brings her a certain benefit. This person will never do anything just like that. You will never receive completely disinterested help, understanding or sympathy from the Goat. However, she can be very generous with people she truly loves.

The Goat has a penchant for charity, can happily share what he has with others. At the same time, she almost completely lacks a sense of ownership.

The first phase of the Goat’s life is relatively calm, but the same cannot be said about the second phase of life. It is by becoming more mature and independent that she literally indulges in all serious and actively participates in a variety of adventures. The Goat has a strong craving for a variety of adventures, which can greatly ruin its own reputation. But she can restore everything, and if she gets burned, she will be more attentive. Old age passes relatively calmly and balanced. Goat ManGoat WomanCompatibility

Обезьяна

Years of birth: (1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016)

People born in the year of the Monkey are very impatient, have a wayward and difficult character. A distinctive feature of such personalities is their inconstancy. Sometimes the brain of Monkeys resembles a real computer, which periodically pulls out very small details from the farthest corners that other people simply cannot remember. This is a valuable quality, since the whole life of Monkeys resembles constant chaos and disorder.

The monkey is a very smart animal, cunning and resourceful. These qualities help to easily solve a variety of problems, and do it so easily that others can only envy.

The Monkey has the same, like her life, an indefinite mood. If someone or something dares to disrupt her plans, then the mood instantly changes. Even despite the fact that the Monkey herself was already ready to change plans, but only tomorrow. Everything starts to literally fall out of hand.

In society, people born in the year of the Monkey are the real soul of the company, but such an impression is sometimes deceptive. The monkey is completely sure that he is the best and smartest. At the same time, selfish desire is often hidden behind ostentatious fun and lightness.

From the outside, it may seem that your presence is incredibly important for the Monkey, but in reality, she simply uses what other signs can give her. At the same time, the Monkey does not disdain anything, as she is completely sure that everyone around her is simply obliged to help her.

In the first half of life, Monkeys do not even try to strain or worry about something, so this period passes quite calmly. But in adulthood, you have to go through just a huge number of tests. However, the Monkey will be completely satisfied with this state of affairs, because it has had the great honor to experience both hardships and joys in life. The old age of the Monkey passes quite calmly, but problems may arise both in the absence of true friends and financial difficulties.

This is an intolerant and harsh nature, which is not at all shy in expressions, which as a result leads to frequent clashes with others. The rooster is not only frank, but also quite eccentric, as he always says what he really thinks about. But such frankness may be a sign of intense selfishness rather than a desire to be useful or smart.

The Rooster is not at all concerned about the feelings and experiences of those around him, since he is sure that there is no good reason to feel sorry for them. The rooster is literally bursting with a huge number of different and really interesting projects and ideas, some of which are simply impossible to implement.

People born under the sign of the Rooster love and often dream with great pleasure, constantly make plans for the future, engage in contemplation and consider themselves real heroes. But they prefer to do it in a comfortable home environment, believing that everything should be decided by itself.

Others consider the Rooster a very interesting and bright personality, an excellent conversationalist, but he can repel people with his own recklessness and boasting. That is why the Rooster has so few close friends with whom he could maintain good relations throughout his life. He rarely decides to make new attachments, because he already has enough friends and communication with them.

The rooster can find a benefit for himself even in the most unfavorable state of affairs. It is this constant movement that allows us to most vividly characterize the Rooster. But if the Rooster is completely immersed in dreams of a good life, he can get stuck in a fantasy world and turn into a real tramp.

But if the Dog is in need of money, he will quickly find an additional source of income and be able to provide himself with a comfortable life.

Regarding the manifestation of feelings, the Dog sometimes seems not just cold, but even arrogant, but this is only the first impression. The dog combined only the best qualities and noble traits – loyalty, fidelity, honesty, a sense of duty, modesty and self-esteem. You can always count on her in any situation. If she really loves, she is ready to literally sacrifice herself for the sake of the second half. Dog ManDog WomanCompatibility
