Astrology, one of the most ancient philosophies, is based on twelve animals.
Chinese Astrology is still in existence in China.
It is more than 3,000 years old but recent study of more esoteric
beliefs place it further back into the clouded past of human history.
In ancient China, and up until today Astrology has been used to predict
what happens to countries, the outcome of wars, economic trends and much
more.
Chinese Astrology is organized according to 12 Animals Signs.
According to a legend, the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come
to him before he departed from Earth. As a reward he named a year after
each other one in the order that they arrived.
First came the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake,
Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
The animal ruling year in which you were born exercises a profound
influence on your life. As the Chinese say, "This is the animal
that hides in your heart".
