Chinese Astrology
Chinese Astrology is represented by Animals. No one really knows the origin of the Chinese Zodiac signs. There is a story that Buddha called upon the animals and only 12 showed up, starting with the Rat which became the first sign and ending with the Pig which became the last astrological sign. Because Chinese New Year starts at the beginning of February, your zodiac sign also changes some time in February. To get your exact sign you need to consult the Chinese calendar.
Chinese astrology is more complex than finding your year animal sign. What you see on our pages or most books on this subject are in fact very simplified versions of Chinese Astrology. There is a system called the Four Pillars of Destiny. In Four Pillars of Destiny, your day, month, hour and year of birth is assigned an animal. So you may in fact be a combination of Pig, Dog, Pig, and Monkey!!!
The year pillar represents you, your family background and your relationships. This is what you get with simple reports.
The month pillar is about your parents and childhood.
The day pillar is about marriage, spouse or love relationships.
The hour pillar is about your carrier, and children.
Elements are also attached to the animal signs, such as Fire Horse or Water Dog.
The Four Pillars of Destiny is in fact very complex. A report can show you your potentials, lucky and unlucky years, personality traits, health issues, relationships and more.
You can get your detailed Bazi or Four Pillars of Destiny report from the Dragon Gate.
Meanwhile, you can use the online Four Pillars of Destiny calculator to get your animal signs.
