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.
