              The
              Chinese Lunar Calendar
            
 
          
It is
          believed that a person takes on the characteristics of the animal in
          whose year they are born.   Well
          what are you waiting for?  Find out what you are and who is your
          ideal partner!
          The
          Chinese Lunar Calendar dates back to 2637 BC. Every complete Chinese
          astrological cycle passes through each of the twelve signs five times,
          each of which has one 'golden' year. The entire cycle therefore takes
          60 years. 
          Legend
          has it that the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him
          before he departed from Earth. Only twelve of the animals came to bid
          him farewell, so Buddha honored each of them with a year. 
          The
          order was taken from the sequence in which they appeared to him -
          first the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse,
          Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
