The eastern zodiac is represented by twelve signs of the zodiac, each of which belongs to a specific animal. According to the most popular legend, only this dozen brave men were able to cross the cold wide river to come to the Buddha. The Buddha called all the animals to him, but they only got there. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. Each animal received a gift for a year, in accordance with the circulation cycle of Jupiter.
In accordance with lunar calendar, which is taken as a basis in the east, the year does not begin on January 1, but on the first new moon after January 21. Thus, the beginning of the new year according to the Eastern calendar is celebrated in the period from January 21 to February 20. Those who were born during this period need to carefully calculate their year.
The eastern horoscope is 12 signs of the zodiac and 5 elements - Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood. They make up the 60-year cycle of the calendar, which always opens the year of the Rat, the element of wood, and closes the year of the Pig, the element of water. The current 60 year cycle began in 1984 Wood Rat and will end in 2044 Water Pigs.
The combination of animal and element does not determine a standard set of character traits for a person born in a certain year. The eastern horoscope, unlike the western one, determines the capabilities of a person, while the western one describes his intentions and goals. Thus, the eastern horoscope helps to understand the orientation of the spiritual needs of each, the style of expression and ways of interacting with others and the world as a whole.
