    Default Chinese Astology<~yeah I can spell!

    Since &#039;04 was a shitty year for most and a great year for me(me being a monkey and all) I figured Id post what the monkey is:

    The spunky Monkey is the original party animal! Charming and energetic, Monkeys crave fun, activity and stimulation. They truly know how to have a good time and can often be seen swinging from one group of friends to another, attracting a motley crew in the process. Always upbeat, they are considered minor celebrities in their circle thanks to their sparkling wit and that rapier-sharp mind. Perhaps surprisingly, Monkeys are also good listeners and tackle complicated situations with ease. This Sign&#039;s natural curiosity lends it the desire to become knowledgeable on a broad range of topics. Monkeys have a show-off side that loves nothing more than to dazzle their pals with all they know.

    The Monkey tends to be rather accident-prone due to a certain lack of very high morals. This Sign&#039;s first interest is pursuing its own pleasure; this is not a malicious interest, it&#039;s just the way the Monkey is. However, this kind of carefree self-involvement can lead to all kinds of scrapes. In love, the Monkey makes a fun, exciting lover -- but one that may have the potential to stray romantically. The good news is, the Monkey’s glib manner and witty repartee can often get this Sign out of a scrape. Perhaps not everyone will be won over by the Monkey -- but do you think the Monkey really cares? The Monkey&#039;s world, full of devil-may-care energy and revelry, isn&#039;t for everyone. Remember, though, it&#039;s not that this Sign is mean; it might just be a bit too curious for its own good. Monkeys often feel the need to try everything at least once, which can make for a merry-go-round of relationships.

    The Monkey&#039;s love of self-indulgence can also lead to other types of trouble. This Sign may have limited self-control concerning food, alcohol and other pleasurable activities. It&#039;s party time all the time for the Monkey, yet when it leads to a monster hangover or a shattered heart (generally someone else&#039;s, not theirs), this Sign might actually show a touch of remorse. They won&#039;t flat-out admit the error of their ways, but at least they&#039;ll pull back and try to tone things down -- for a while.

    Monkeys must try to learn to think of others ahead of themselves, at least some of the time. This Sign&#039;s world will be more complete once it realizes the world doesn&#039;t revolve around it.

    The most compatible match for a Monkey is the Rat or the Dragon.

    Deanna and my youngest are ox

    The Ox of Chinese Astrology is no bull in a china shop. Steadfast and solid, this powerful Sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. Oxen tend to be plodding and methodical; they approach projects in the step-by-step manner that serves them best, and they never lose sight of their goal. They are tireless workers who are detail-oriented and believe in doing things right the first time.

    The world may perceive Oxen as being far too serious or incapable of loosening up. This sturdy sort is less than social by nature and tends to become introverted in a crowd. To make things worse, they can&#039;t be bothered with what other people think and prefer to do what makes them feel best. Behind that calm facade, though, lives an Ox who can feel hurt, lonely and unable to connect with others. Friends and family are a great source of comfort to this beast, even if they don&#039;t always understand what makes the Ox tick. As a lover, friend, family member or housemate, the Ox makes a wonderfully strong, tender and affectionate companion who is protective and always reliable.

    Out in the world, though, Oxen tend to be stubborn, dogmatic, my-way-or-the-highway kind of people who have no concept of when to back down. Oxen don&#039;t care to be pushed, especially since they think they&#039;re the good guys of the Chinese Zodiac. There is some truth to that theory, since the Ox is smart, trustworthy, caring and honorable. If you need honest, steady and unbiased advice, call on the Ox.

    A good lesson for mighty Oxen is to strive to overcome a judgmental nature that keeps them from getting close to others. If they can learn to value their own good qualities, they&#039;ll have more room in their hearts to invite others in.

    The most compatible match for an Ox is the Snake or the Rooster.

    my eldest girl child is a rat( I always knew she was sneaky)


    Though the Western rat is reviled as little more than a bottom-dwelling disease carrier, this animal is viewed much differently in the East. The Eastern rat is revered for its quick wits and its ability to accrue and hold on to items of value; rats are considered a symbol of good luck and wealth in both China and Japan. Clever and quick-witted, the Rat of the Chinese Zodiac is utterly disarming to boot. Possessed of excellent taste, this Sign flaunts its style at every turn. Its natural charm and sharp, funny demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone. The Rat likes to know who is on its side and will treat its most loyal friends with an extra measure of protection and generosity.

    Behind that sweet smile, though, Rats are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas. This Sign is motivated by its own interests, which often include money; greed can become a problem if the Rat isn&#039;t careful to keep its priorities straight. This Sign&#039;s natural powers of charm and persuasion can definitely come in handy! Although they are often hoarders, Rats can be very generous to those in their "pack," namely friends and family members who have proven their loyalty. Others might perceive them as quick-tempered and sharp-tongued, but never boorish. Verbal jousting is a great pleasure for the Rat, a Sign that everyone around will quickly learn either to love or to hate.

    Rats enjoy being on the outside looking in, as the outside affords a view into the inner workings of a system or situation. The Rat&#039;s keen mind always seeks out new knowledge, to be stored away for future use. This ever-curious Sign also welcomes challenges as a way to stay sharp. If boredom sets in the Rat is no fun at all, but that isn&#039;t likely; this Sign knows how to keep itself entertained.

    A valuable lesson for Rats is to learn to consider others above themselves, at least sometimes. If they can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well, Rats could find true happiness.


    The most compatible match for a Rat is the Dragon or the Monkey.

    The Chinese Calendar
    Chinese New Year is the main holiday of the year for more than one quarter of the world&#039;s population. Although the People&#039;s Republic of China uses the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes, a special Chinese calendar is used for determining festivals. Various Chinese communities around the world also use this calendar. At right, a large dragon lantern glows at a festival for Chinese New Year at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial. Taipei, Taiwan.

    The beginnings of the Chinese calendar can be traced back to the 14th century B.C.E. Legend has it that the Emperor Huangdi invented the calendar in 2637 B.C.E.

    The Chinese calendar is based on exact astronomical observations of the longitude of the sun and the phases of the moon. This means that principles of modern science have had an impact on the Chinese calendar.

    Details of early calendars
    When were foreign calendars introduced?


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    What Does the Chinese Year Look Like?
    The Chinese calendar - like the Hebrew - is a combined solar/lunar calendar in that it strives to have its years coincide with the tropical year and its months coincide with the synodic months. It is not surprising that a few similarities exist between the Chinese and the Hebrew calendar:

    An ordinary year has 12 months, a leap year has 13 months.
    An ordinary year has 353, 354, or 355 days, a leap year has 383, 384, or 385 days.
    When determining what a Chinese year looks like, one must make a number of astronomical calculations:

    First, determine the dates for the new moons. Here, a new moon is the completely "black" moon (that is, when the moon is in conjunction with the sun), not the first visible crescent used in the Islamic and Hebrew calendars. The date of a new moon is the first day of a new month.

    Secondly, determine the dates when the sun&#039;s longitude is a multiple of 30 degrees. (The sun&#039;s longitude is 0 at Vernal Equinox, 90 at Summer Solstice, 180 at Autumnal Equinox, and 270 at Winter Solstice.) These dates are called the Principal Terms and are used to determine the number of each month:



    Principal Term 1 occurs when the sun&#039;s longitude is 330 degrees.
    Principal Term 2 occurs when the sun&#039;s longitude is 0 degrees.
    Principal Term 3 occurs when the sun&#039;s longitude is 30 degrees.
    etc.
    Principal Term 11 occurs when the sun&#039;s longitude is 270 degrees.
    Principal Term 12 occurs when the sun&#039;s longitude is 300 degrees.
    Each month carries the number of the Principal Term that occurs in that month.

    In rare cases, a month may contain two Principal Terms; in this case the months numbers may have to be shifted. Principal Term 11 (Winter Solstice) must always fall in the 11th month.

    All the astronomical calculations are carried out for the meridian 120 degrees east of Greenwich. This roughly corresponds to the east coast of China.

    Some variations in these rules are seen in various Chinese communities.

    What Years Are Leap Years?
    Leap years have 13 months. To determine if a year is a leap year, calculate the number of new moons between the 11th month in one year (i.e., the month containing the Winter Solstice) and the 11th month in the following year. If there are 13 new moons from the start of the 11th month in the first year to the start of the 11th month in the second year, a leap month must be inserted.

    In leap years, at least one month does not contain a Principal Term. The first such month is the leap month. It carries the same number as the previous month, with the additional note that it is the leap month.

    How Does One Count Years?
    Unlike most other calendars, the Chinese calendar does not count years in an infinite sequence. Instead years have names that are repeated every 60 years.

    (Historically, years used to be counted since the accession of an emperor, but this was abolished after the 1911 revolution.)

    Within each 60-year cycle, each year is assigned name consisting of two components:

    The first component is a Celestial Stemm. These words have no English equivalent:


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1. jia 6. ji
    2. yi 7. geng
    3. bing 8. xin
    4. ding 9. ren
    5. wu 10. gui

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    The second component is a Terrestrial Branch. The names of the corresponding animals in the zodiac cycle of 12 animals are given in parentheses.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1. zi (rat) 7. wu (horse)
    2. chou (ox) 8. wei (sheep)
    3. yin (tiger) 9. shen (monkey)
    4. mao (hare, rabbit) 10. you (rooster)
    5. chen (dragon) 11. xu (dog)
    6. si (snake) 12. hai (pig)

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Each of the two components is used sequentially. Thus, the 1st year of the 60-year cycle becomes jia-zi, the 2nd year is yi-chou, the 3rd year is bing-yin, etc. When we reach the end of a component, we start from the beginning: The 10th year is gui-you, the 11th year is jia-xu (restarting the Celestial Stem), the 12th year is yi-hai, and the 13th year is bing-zi (restarting the Terrestrial Branch). Finally, the 60th year becomes gui-hai.

    This way of naming years within a 60-year cycle goes back approximately 2000 years. A similar naming of days and months has fallen into disuse, but the date name is still listed in calendars.

    It is customary to number the 60-year cycles since 2637 B.C.E., when the calendar was supposedly invented. In that year the first 60-year cycle started.

    What Is the Current Year in the Chinese Calendar?
    The current 60-year cycle started on 2 Feb 1984. That date bears the name bing-yin in the 60-day cycle, and the first month of that first year bears the name gui-chou in the 60-month cycle.

    This means that the year wu-yin, the 15th year in the 78th cycle, started on 28 Jan 1998. The 20th year in the 78th cycle, started on 1 Feb 2003.

    The following are dates for Chinese/Lunar New Year&#039;s day:

    Chinese year Zodiac animal Gregorian calendar
    4693 Boar January 31, 1995
    4694 Rat February 19, 1996
    4695 Ox February 7, 1997
    4696 Tiger January 28, 1998

    4698 Dragon February 5, 2000
    4699 Snake January 24, 2001
    4700 Horse February 12, 2002

    4711 Snake February 10, 2013
    4712 Horse January 31, 2014
    4713 Ram/Sheep February 19, 2015
    4714 Monkey February 9, 2016
    4715 Rooster January 28, 2017
    4716 Dog February 16, 2018
    4717 Boar February 5, 2019
    4718 Rat January 25, 2020



    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    What about the year 2033?
    In the early 1990s, Chinese astronomers discovered that there was an error in the Chinese calendar for 2033. The traditional calendar claimed that the leap month would follow the 7th month, while in fact it comes after the 11th month. It is very unusual that the 11th month has a leap month, in fact it hasn&#039;t happened since the calendar reform in 1645 (before 1645, all months had the same probability for having a leap month). But many Chinese astronomers still claim that there will never be a leap month after the 12th and 1st month. In addition, there will be a leap month after the 1st month in 2262 (in fact, it should have happened in 1651, but they got the calculations wrong!) and there will be a leap month after the 12th month in 3358. Since the Chinese calendar is an astronomical calendar, predictions require delicate astronomical calculations, so my computations for 3358 should probably be taken with a grain of salt.




    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When did the calendar really start?
    If the Chinese calendar started in 2637 B.C.E., why is the current year 60 years too late? (e.g., in 1999, the current year was 4697? and not 4637)?

    The Chinese calendar does not use a continuous year count! They used a 60 year cycle and a system of regional years (starting with each emperor). Before the 1911 revolution, Sun Yat-sen wanted to establish a republican alternative to the imperial reign cycles. According to Chinese tradition, the first year of the Yellow Emperor was 2698 B.C.E., so he introduced a counting system based on this. Under this system, 2000 is year 4698. An alternative system is to start with the first historical record of the 60-day cycle from March 8, 2637 B.C.E. Based on this system, 2000 is year 4637.




    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    What was the Early Chinese calendar?

    Two oracle bones
    Shang Dynasty in China
    (c. 1800 - 1200 BCE)
    Evidence from the Shang oracle bone inscriptions shows that at least by the 14th century BC the Shang Chinese had established the solar year at 365 1/4 days and lunation at 29 1/2 days. In the calendar that the Shang used, the seasons of the year and the phases of the Moon were all supposedly accounted for.

    In China, the calendar was a sacred document, sponsored and promulgated by the reigning monarch. For more than two millennia, a Bureau of Astronomy made astronomical observations, calculated astronomical events such as eclipses, prepared astrological predictions, and maintained the calendar. After all, a successful calendar not only served practical needs, but also confirmed the consonance between Heaven and the imperial court.
    Analysis of surviving astronomical records inscribed on oracle bones reveals a Chinese lunisolar calendar, with intercalation of lunar months, dating back to the Shang dynasty of the fourteenth century B.C.E. Various intercalation schemes were developed for the early calendars, including the nineteen-year and 76-year lunar phase cycles that came to be known in the West as the Metonic cycle and Callipic cycle.

    From the earliest records, the beginning of the year occurred at a New Moon near the winter solstice. The choice of month for beginning the civil year varied with time and place, however. In the late second century B.C.E., a calendar reform established the practice, which continues today, of requiring the winter solstice to occur in month 11. This reform also introduced the intercalation system in which dates of New Moons are compared with the 24 solar terms. However, calculations were based on the mean motions resulting from the cyclic relationships. Inequalities in the Moon&#039;s motions were incorporated as early as the seventh century C.E., but the Sun&#039;s mean longitude was used for calculating the solar terms until 1644.

    Years were counted from a succession of eras established by reigning emperors. Although the accession of an emperor would mark a new era, an emperor might also declare a new era at various times within his reign. The introduction of a new era was an attempt to reestablish a broken connection between Heaven and Earth, as personified by the emperor. The break might be revealed by the death of an emperor, the occurrence of a natural disaster, or the failure of astronomers to predict a celestial event such as an eclipse. In the latter case, a new era might mark the introduction of new astronomical or calendrical models.

    Sexagenary cycles were used to count years, months, days, and fractions of a day using the set of Celestial Stems and Terrestrial Branches. Use of the sixty-day cycle is seen in the earliest astronomical records. By contrast the sixty-year cycle was introduced in the first century C.E. or possibly a century earlier. Although the day count has fallen into disuse in everyday life, it is still tabulated in calendars. The initial year (jia-zi) of the current year cycle began on 1984 February 2, which is the third day (bing-yin) of the day cycle.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Details of early calendars
    One of the two methods that they used to make this calendar was to add an extra month of 29 or 30 days, which they termed the 13th month, to the end of a regular 12-month year. There is also evidence that suggests that the Chinese developed the Metonic cycle (see above Complex cycles) -- i.e., 19 years with a total of 235 months--a century ahead of Meton&#039;s first calculation (no later than the Spring and Autumn period, 770-476 BC). During this cycle of 19 years there were seven intercalations of months. The other method, which was abandoned soon after the Shang started to adopt it, was to insert an extra month between any two months of a regular year. Possibly, a lack of astronomical and arithmetical knowledge allowed them to do this.

    By the 3rd century BC, the first method of intercalation was gradually falling into disfavour, while the establishment of the meteorological cycle, the erh-shih-ssu chieh-ch&#039;i (Pinyin ershisi jieqi), during this period officially revised the second method. This meteorological cycle contained 24 points, each beginning one of the periods named consecutively the Spring Begins, the Rain Water, the Excited Insects, the Vernal Equinox, the Clear and Bright, the Grain Rains, the Summer Begins, the Grain Fills, the Grain in Ear, the Summer Solstice, the Slight Heat, the Great Heat, the Autumn Begins, the Limit of Heat, the White Dew, the Autumn Equinox, the Cold Dew, the Hoar Frost Descends, the Winter Begins, the Little Snow, the Heavy Snow, the Winter Solstice, the Little Cold, and the Severe Cold. The establishment of this cycle required a fair amount of astronomical understanding of the Earth as a celestial body, and without elaborate equipment it is impossible to collect the necessary information. Modern scholars acknowledge the superiority of pre-Sung Chinese astronomy (at least until about the 13th century AD) over that of other, contemporary nations.

    The 24 points within the meteorological cycle coincide with points 15º apart on the ecliptic (the plane of the Earth&#039;s yearly journey around the Sun or, if it is thought that the Sun turns around the Earth, the apparent journey of the Sun against the stars). It takes about 15.2 days for the Sun to travel from one of these points to another (because the ecliptic is a complete circle of 360º), and the Sun needs 365 1/4 days to finish its journey in this cycle. Supposedly, each of the 12 months of the year contains two points, but, because a lunar month has only 29 1/2 days and the two points share about 30.4 days, there is always the chance that a lunar month will fail to contain both points, though the distance between any two given points is only 15º. If such an occasion occurs, the intercalation of an extra month takes place. For instance, one may find a year with two "Julys" or with two "Augusts" in the Chinese calendar. In fact, the exact length of the month in the Chinese calendar is either 30 days or 29 days--a phenomenon which reflects its lunar origin. Also, the meteorological cycle means essentially a solar year. The Chinese thus consider their calendar as yin-yang li, or a "lunar-solar calendar."


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When were foreign calendars introduced?
    Although the yin-yang li has been continuously employed by the Chinese, foreign calendars were introduced to the Chinese, the Hindu calendar, for instance, during the T&#039;ang (Tang) dynasty (618-907), and were once used concurrently with the native calendar. This situation also held true for the Muslim calendar, which was introduced during the Yüan dynasty (1206-136. The Gregorian calendar was taken to China by Jesuit missionaries in 1582, the very year that it was first used by Europeans. Not until 1912, after the general public adopted the Gregorian calendar, did the yin-yang li lose its primary importance.

    Western (pre-Copernican) astronomical theories were introduced to China by Jesuit missionaries in the seventeenth century. Gradually, more modern Western concepts became known. Following the revolution of 1911, the traditional practice of counting years from the accession of an emperor was abolished.

    I&#039;m a Tiger.. Grrrr!

    ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

    Tigers may not be the king of the jungle, but these cats are certainly no wimps. Magnetic and self-possessed, Tigers are born leaders. They have an air of authority that prompts others to fall in line, which is exactly how they like it. Despite this, they often adopt the pose of a lone wolf, preferring to stalk their "prey" on their own. Time is of the essence to Tigers, the better to get ahead and stay there.

    Courageous beyond compare, Tigers generally come out ahead in battle, whether at home or at work. Noble and warm-hearted, Tigers tend to have a raw appeal which is extremely attractive to the opposite sex. Tigers will fight for what&#039;s right until the bitter end if they believe the cause is worthy. Opponents are wise to fear a feline that can smell victory a mile away.

    A bit of caution is a good thing around Tigers, since they can pounce without much warning. They experience mood swings and often feel things more intensely than others, that latter quality being both good and bad. They often react poorly under stress and are prone to emotional outbursts. It&#039;s the rough sensitivity that can cause friend and foe to run for cover.

    A lesson that Tigers would be well-served to learn is "moderation in all things." Once these cats can find their centre and direct their considerable energies toward worthwhile endeavours (as opposed to racing through life), they will accomplish much.

    The most compatible match for a Tiger is the Horse or Dog.

    I am very much a snake. For the record I don&#039;t believe in any form of astrology, it is all crap, but its fun:


    Diplomatic and popular, the Snake has the sensual art of seduction down. This Sign is an interesting mix of gregariousness paired with introversion, intuitive reasoning paired with savvy business skills. Snakes are considered to be lucky with money and will generally have more than enough to live life to the fullest, regardless of how important it considers money to be; this may be due to the fact that Snakes tend to be rather tight with cash. They&#039;re not stingy, they&#039;re simply more mentally than physically active. Snakes tend to hang back a bit in order to analyze a situation before jumping into it. Their charming, seductive quality actually belies a rather retiring nature; this Sign is perfectly happy to spend the whole day curled up with a good book and, thus, can be mislabeled as being lazy.

    The Snake is somewhat insecure deep down and tend to be a rather jealous, possessive lover, behavior that can end up alienating loved ones. Despite these less-than-stellar tendencies, however, the Snake often proves irresistible and is a generous, loving partner.. Slightly dangerous and disarmingly smart, the Snake&#039;s philosophical and intuitive mind generally supersedes logic in favor of feelings and instinct. Snakes will rely on their own gut reactions and intuitions before turning to others for suggestions. This makes this Sign a great hand in any business venture, possessing the caution and smarts needed to get ahead.

    Snakes are hard workers (when they see good reason to be!) and are possessed of a keen intelligence. Snakes have incredible follow-through, once they get going, and they expect the same from others. Thus, their coworkers and employees had best stay on their toes, lest they anger the Snake and suffer its poisonous bite!

    In general, of course, Snakes are generous and genteel, charming and appealing. Snakes must try to learn humility and to develop a stronger sense of self. Once Snakes realize that confidence comes from within, they will finally be comfortable in their own skin.

    The most compatible match for a Snake is the Rooster or the Ox

    Thanks Blade, I always thought I was a Horse, but I am a snake.

    Hissssssssssssssss.

    Really strange as it is pretty on for colours, tree, spices, and herb.
    I have always noticed a coincidence on numbers divisible by 3 .

    Veuve Clicquot anyone. My favorite.

    Anyone for a snake pit?


    Snake
    for better results
    your colour is ice blue
    flower is camellia
    fragrance is musk
    tree is palm
    flavour is bittersweet
    birthstone is opal
    lucky number is 3

    favourites
    food is caviare
    animal is turtle dove
    drink is champagne
    spice is curry
    metal is platinum
    herb is fennel

    the sweet
    amiable, compromising, fun loving, altruistic, honourable, sympathetic, philosophical, charitable, a paragon of fashion, intuitive, discrete, diplomatic, amusing, sexy.

    the bad pill
    self righteous, imperious, judgemental, conniving, mendacious, grabby, clinging, pessimistic, fickle, haughty, ostentatious, a sore looser.
