Zodiac signs - why these 12 animals?

The 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac were not chosen by chance. These were animals either closely associated with the daily life of ancient China, or those that, according to Chinese beliefs, brought good luck.

Ox, horse, goat, rooster, pig and dog are the six animals that were traditionally kept in Chinese households. A famous saying in China says: "Six animals in the house means prosperity". This is why these six animals were chosen.

The other six - rat, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake and monkey - are animals much loved in Chinese culture.

Zodiac signs - why in this order?

12 Animals of the Chinese Zodiac presented in a certain order according to the teachings of Yin and Yang.

The Yin and Yang of animals is determined by the number of their claws (paws, hooves). Even is pure for Yin and odd is pure for Yang. The animals in the zodiac are arranged in an alternating Yin-Yang order.

Animals usually have the same number of toes on their front and hind feet. However, the rat has four toes on its front paws and five on its hind paws. As they say in China: "Things are valued by their rarity". Therefore, the Rat comes first among the 12 animals of the zodiac. This unique animal combines both odd Yang and even Yin traits:
4+5=9, where Yang is dominant and therefore the rats are ultimately classified as odd (Yang).

Symbolic meaning of the 12 zodiac signs

In Ancient China, each zodiac animal was endowed with a certain symbolic meaning - a sign. 12 animals were divided into 6 pairs in such a way that the characteristics of one animal in the pair were opposite to those of the other animal from this pair. This is how harmony was achieved - Yin and Yang.

The order of the zodiac animals is presumably not chosen by chance: in China it is customary to start with the most important, and then put all the other signs in descending order. Just as in the beginning there is always a strong, dominant beginning of Yang, and then Yin gives harmony.

Animal of the Zodiac	Sign	Proverb
Rat	Wisdom	Wisdom without hard work leads to mediocrity.
Bull	Hard work	Hard work without wisdom leads to meaninglessness.
Tiger	Bravery	Bravery without caution leads to recklessness.
Rabbit	Caution	Caution without courage leads to cowardice.
Dragon	Strength	Strength without flexibility leads to destruction.
Snake	Flexibility	Flexibility without strength leads to infringement.
Horse	Striving forward	Striving forward without unity leads to loneliness.
Goat	Unity	Unity without striving forward leads to stagnation.
Monkey	Changeability	Changeability without constancy leads to stupidity.
Rooster	Constancy	Constancy without changeability leads to stiffness.
Dog	Loyalty	Loyalty without a smile leads to rejection.
Pig	Friendliness	Friendliness without loyalty leads to immorality.

Time was determined by the Chinese zodiac

Everyone knows that in the Chinese zodiac every year is associated with a certain animal, but not everyone knows that in Chinese culture there are also 12 zodiac signs used to indicate time.

In ancient times, before the invention of clocks, the earthly branches (the cyclic signs of the duodecimal cycle of the Chinese zodiac) were used to indicate time in China. For convenience, we resorted to the names of the 12 animals of the zodiac, allocating 2 hours for each sign.

According to Chinese astrology, a person’s character and life are largely determined not by the year, but by the hour of birth. And these data are widely used in the analysis of personality type and fate.

Rat	Bull	Tiger	Rabbit	Dragon	Snake	Horse	Goat	Monkey	Rooster	Dog	Pig
23:00- 01:00	01:00- 03:00	03:00- 05:00	05:00- 07:00	07:00- 09:00	09:00- 11:00	11:00- 13:00	13:00- 15:00	15:00- 17:00	17:00- 19:00	19:00- 21:00	21:00- 23:00

Legend of the Animals of the Chinese Zodiac

We'll talk about how Jade Emperor- the lord of heaven - decided to choose 12 animals so that they would guard his peace.

Nowadays, every person knows at least two of their astrological symbols from different horoscopes. This is the zodiac sign and animal according to the year of birth. This combination of horoscopes is due to the development of civilization and the intersection of Western and Eastern cultures. Since this is the case, many people want to know what characteristics the two signs have on him. In this article we will consider the combination of eastern and zodiac horoscopes, as well as a brief forecast for 2015. This is interesting and useful information.

Combination of eastern and zodiac horoscopes

Astrology is an alternative science. There are many different horoscopes. The most popular of them are eastern and zodiac (western).

It is based on the movement of the Moon and Jupiter. The zodiac horoscope is based on the movement of the Sun (annual). It may not be entirely correct to superimpose these systems on top of each other, since they appeared in completely different civilizations. But given that in our time the two cultures have overlapped in many ways, the combination of the eastern and zodiac horoscopes has become quite popular.

Theory of psychotypes

This theory assumes that a person is born under a specific sign and receives a certain psychotype from it. Considering the combination of horoscopes, some traits will be stronger, others weaker.

The theory of psychotypes implies the division of all signs into three groups:
. Ungulates: in the zodiac horoscope - Aries, Capricorn, Taurus, in the eastern horoscope - Boar, Goat, Horse, Bull.
. Predators: Scorpio, Leo, as well as Monkey (partially), Cat, Dog, Tiger.
. Birds, reptiles, rodents: in the zodiac horoscope - Aquarius, Pisces, Cancer, Sagittarius, Virgo, Gemini, Libra, in the eastern horoscope - Rooster, Dragon, Snake, Rat.

Characteristics of groups and their combination

Ungulates are distinguished by their nobility, love of freedom, and conscience. They are confident in themselves, know their shortcomings, and present their personal strengths. Arrogant and stubborn.

The most unfortunate union of ungulates is with predators. If these two signs are superimposed on one person, he is full of contradictions, which he is often unable to understand.

Predators are quite energetic, resilient, and can be aggressive. The combination of two signs of this group in one person gives rise to a persistent and ambitious personality. And if a representative of the third group was born in the year of the predator, then aggressiveness, perseverance, and energy will be weakly expressed.

Birds, reptiles, and rodents are distinguished by their caution and sociability. They are quite harmonious, improve themselves, and conserve energy. Reptiles often have superpowers and magnetism. When the sign of this group is applied to a predator, the latter’s aggressiveness noticeably decreases.

Oriental horoscope. Peculiarities

The Chinese horoscope is just over 4000 years old. According to his interpretations, every year passes under the sign of one of the animals. A person born during this period is endowed with special qualities that determine his actions and inclinations. The year in the East does not begin on the first of January. Not the way Europeans are used to it. Chinese New Year They celebrate after our January 21st, on the first new moon after this date, which falls in different years from January 21st to February 21st. People born on these dates should pay special attention to this point when they determine which animal year according to the horoscope fell on their birth.

Eastern astrology is 60 cycles made up of 12 animals and 5 elements. This is due to the fact that in East Asia they attach great importance to the planet Jupiter, which has a 12-year rotation cycle. Communication with the elements is based on more complex interactions of the cycles of the Sun, Moon, Earth, and other planets. The combination of animal and element gives a person special spiritual qualities.

Elements and signs of the eastern horoscope

Each element is defined by its color, its emotions, and rewards its owner with certain traits.

Tree - green and blue, compassion and sadness.
Fire is red, joy.
Earth - brown (yellow), thoughts.
Metal - white, passion and fury.
Water - black, timidity.

The twelve animals that came at the first call of the Buddha, having overcome all the obstacles on their way, received the right to name the following years by their name, precisely in the order in which they appeared. This is how the signs of the eastern horoscope were determined: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.

Year-element unions make up a 60-year horoscope cycle, which always begins with the year of the Wood Rat and ends with the year of the Water Pig. When combining the eastern and zodiac horoscopes, one should take into account not only the constellation, but also the meaning of the element as well.

Western style

Unlike the Chinese horoscope, European astrologers determine psychotypes, character and destiny, depending on the influence of the twelve zodiac constellations. The beginning of the European zodiac is vernal equinox- March 21. Aries opens the year. It was at this time that they celebrated New Year ancient tribes before the adoption of Christianity. A person's zodiac sign shows which constellation the sun was in at the time of his birth. Each zodiac sign is a unique combination of elements - Earth, Fire, Water and Air. And three qualities - cardinal, constant, changeable.

Dates of the zodiac horoscope

March 21-April 20 - Aries: Fire, cardinal.
April 21-21 May - Taurus: Earth, permanent.
May 22-June 21 - Gemini: Air, changeable.
June 22-July 22 - Cancer: Water, cardinal.
July 23-August 22 - Leo: Fire, constant.
August 23-September 23 - Virgo: Earth, changeable.
September 24-October 23 - Libra: Air, cardinal.

Features and Similarities

Due to the geographical remoteness of the territories and the impossibility of constant communication, the astrological traditions of the East and West were formed separately from each other. Stargazers of both cultures noticed and described the influence of space objects on the destinies and characters of both individuals and entire states. In both interpretations, 12 types are distinguished, also different in the influence of the elements. What does the combination of the eastern and zodiac horoscopes give? The principles of constructing astral forecasts in different cultures differ in the compilation of the peculiarities of traditions. Eastern interpretations of Jupiter's cycles and elements are more focused on spiritual qualities; they seek to direct a person to his subconscious aspirations. Zodiac characteristics endow types with standard sets of qualities that determine specific directions and goals. From the combination of all horoscopes, an individual portrait of a personality emerges.

Characteristics of combined types

As a result of combining horoscopes, eastern and zodiac, astrologers identified seven main types. Below are their names and brief descriptions.

King. Self-sufficient, self-confident, calm individuals.
Leader. The main features are strength, power. Honest and open leader.
Knight. Kindness, generosity, love and compassion.
Aristocrat. A refined aristocratic nature, talented and intolerant of conflicts.
Professor. A rational and sensible mentor.
Jester. Witty, creative and independent intellectual.
Vector. Possessing magnetism, a passionate adventurer.

Who is Ophiuchus?

Not long ago, a message appeared in many media that alarmed all adherents of astrological forecasts and horoscopes. It was about changing the zodiac cycle and the discovery of a new zodiac sign, Ophiuchus. The explanation for this theory was that over time the position of the Earth's axis relative to the constellations changed. A new zodiac horoscope has been published in many publications, in which the time of Ophiuchus has been added and, accordingly, all signs have shifted their positions.

Astrologers took this information calmly and are not going to change anything in their activities. The reason for this equanimity is that the very concepts of “zodiac” and “zodiac constellations” have different meanings in astronomy and astrology. The astronomical zodiac is the real constellations (including Ophiuchus and the 14th Cetus) that encircle the solar system and shift approximately 1 degree every 72 years. Their shape and extent also change.

The astrological, or tropical, zodiac is a conditional division of the sphere into symbolic cycles. Horoscope signs are symbolic designations of new stages; they are not directly related to the astronomical zodiac.

To believe or not to believe astrologers is everyone’s personal choice. As Pythagoras said: “The stars predict, but do not oblige, how to look at yourself and the world is a personal matter.”
