Chinese Almanac Photos

Does your character follow the animal you were supposedly belong

The Chinese Almanac photos are taken in Penang in one of our famous temple. But have you ever wondered how these animals become symbols of Chinese horoscope? How did these twelve animals become the Chinese Almanac or Zodiac signs? One may ask?

Well, as the legends goes, Buddha called all the animals to meet him before departing from this world. Twelve obedient animals came to pay their last respects and for that, they are remembered till this day.

The Chinese animal signs are a 12-year cycle used for dating the years. They represent a cyclical concept of time, rather than the Western linear concept of time.

The animal ruling the year of your birth exercises a profound influence on your life. It is thought that each Chinese Astrology Sign embodies its Animal's characteristics, as seen by Eastern eyes, in the people born that year.

So a person will be cunning or tenacious or whatever their sign is. Each Chinese Horoscope Sign comes in five flavors so to speak and they are: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth.

So instead of a sign lasting only 30 days or so, Chinese signs last a year and each is repeated once every 60 years. Check for incompatibility here.

The magnificent twelve formed the Chinese Almanac or Zodiac in the order they arrived. And you know what, it is also said that we bear resemblance to the animal ruling the year.Chinese Almanac Photos

The system of the twelve year cycle of animal signs was built from observations of the orbit of Jupiter. Chinese astronomers divided the celestial circle into 12 sections.

As the sayinggoes, "This is the animal that hides in your heart." Happy checking.
