Chinese Astrology, the art of the chinese zodiacs

Usually Chinese Astrology is considered as a form of art by majority of people. The idea of Chinese astrology is to aid people achieve their goals by self awareness and steady advances of the mind and soul. Like western astrology, the Chinese astrology system is used to determine a person’s health, career direction, likes and dislikes, compatibility with other person, luck attraction and a lot more . Chinese astrology is created of a 12 year cycle and has 12 animals to depict every year, they are better known as the Chinese Zodiacs. The animals which are arranged in a particular order are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep (or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. The perfect genisis of the twelve animal systems remain unknown. But there is a tale behind its origination, that is the Jade King wasn’t doing anything and was feeling bored. He din’t see what was happening on Earth, since he had servants satisfying his each want. He concluded that he wished to see some animals on the Earth and thus he sent his advisors to get 12 animals for him. The advisor initially sent an invitation to the Rat, asking him to even get the cat, because the Rat was envious he prevented the cat from knowing the news. Other invitations were sent to the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Ram, the Monkey, the Rooster and the Dog, asking for their attendance the following day. They stood in line in front of the king, and then he found out that they numbered only 11, than 12 that he desired. Thus the Jade king wanted the 12th animal from earth so he asked his advisor to get it. The servant hurried into a man carrying a Pig, and grabbed| it and gave it to the king. The animals lined up in front of the king in any order. The Rat, being smallest of the rest, climbed on the Ox’s back and started to play the flute. This impressed the king greatly and he was happy. He gave the Rat primary position. Second place was given to the Ox for its good sportsmanship, and third was given to the Tiger, who appeared so strong. The Rabbit was given fourth place, the Dragon fifth, the Snake sixth, the Horse seventh, the Ram eighth, the Monkey ninth, the Rooster tenth and the Dog eleventh. Because of the kings nature and as the Pig arrived at the end, it was given the Twelfth place. After the event was ended, the cat begged the king to reassess but he denied the cat. There are 5 elements in the Chinese astrology. These elements were Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, always arranged in that order because it is said to be a continuous procedure, that is Wood produces Fire; Fire produces Earth; Earth produces Metal, Metal produces Water, and Water produces Wood, and again it goes back to its start. Last but not least there is the cosmic and divine strength that influences the entire Chinese astrology system. This force is termed as The Yin and The Yang. The Yin symbolizes the female and the Yang symbolizes the male. An diverse explanation states that the Ying symbolizes the Evil and the Yang symbolizes the Good. And when both are taken into consideration, Ying and Yang, create harmony and everlasting balance. The combination of Yin and Yang is the veiled power following the Chinese Horoscope system. But the Chinese Astrologers are not stern decision makers. They do not believe a person’s fate is already given perfectly at the moment he or she was born. What they do believe is that a person’s time and place of birth set limits within which a person has freedom. What happens in these boundaries is influenced not only by own choice also by outside issues such as locality, monetary conditions and the like.
