Compatibility horoscope for zodiac signs.
Chinese astrologers divide all animal signs into four groups (three in each). It is generally accepted that people born under the same group of signs have similar characteristics that determine the way they think, which ultimately allows them to get along well with each other, support each other and get along together. This does not mean at all that they have the same character or actions, it’s just that the innate characteristics of their personalities successfully complement each other and contribute to the development of best sides other people from the same group. It has been noticed that partnerships, friendships and especially marriages between those born under the signs of the same group are the most successful.
Competitors- Rat, Monkey and Dragon. All these signs are very keen on competition and decisive action. Rats need the Dragon's self-confidence and courage, because... extremely unsure of themselves. In turn, the Dragon can be too direct and sometimes simply needs the ingenuity of the Rat or even the cunning of the Monkey. The latter highly value the intelligence of the Rat and the enthusiasm of the Dragon.
Intellectuals- Snake, Rooster and Bull. People belonging to these signs are great pragmatists, strong personalities, often endowed with great abilities, self-confident, purposeful and decisive. Among them are thinkers and seers. The Ox is constant and firm, but he is favorably influenced by the brightness of the Rooster and the charm and dexterity of the Snake. The directness of the Rooster is balanced by the diplomatic Snake or the self-confident Bull, and the Snake, with all its ambition, can reach great heights if it is assisted by the Bull or the Rooster.
Independent- Horse, Dog and Tiger. These people are emotional, impulsive, restless and extremely principled - a kind of " free spirits" Chinese zodiac. The Horse is a born strategist, but to make anything a reality it needs a decisive Dog or an impulsive Tiger. He can also give vent to the Horse’s restlessness, while only the Dog can calm it down. The Tiger will also benefit from communicating with the Dog - her constant good nature will keep him from being excessively cruel.

Zodiac signs - why these 12 animals?
The 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac were not chosen by chance. These were animals either closely related to everyday life Ancient China, or those that, according to Chinese beliefs, brought good luck.
Ox, horse, goat, rooster, pig and dog are the six animals traditionally kept in Chinese household. A famous saying in China says: "Six animals in the house means prosperity". This is why these six animals were chosen.
The other six are the rat, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake and monkey - animals very beloved in Chinese culture.
Zodiac signs - why in this order?
12 Animals of the Chinese Zodiac presented in a certain order according to the teachings of Yin and Yang.
The Yin and Yang of animals is determined by the number of their claws (paws, hooves). Even is pure for Yin and odd is pure for Yang. The animals in the zodiac are arranged in an alternating Yin-Yang order.
Usually animals have the same number of fingers on the front and hind legs. However, the rat has four toes on its front paws and five on its hind paws. As they say in China: "Things are valued by their rarity". Therefore, the Rat comes first among the 12 animals of the zodiac. This unique animal combines both odd Yang and even Yin traits:
4+5=9, where Yang is dominant and therefore the rats are ultimately classified as odd (Yang).
Symbolic meaning of the 12 zodiac signs
IN Ancient China Each zodiac animal was endowed with a certain symbolic meaning- a sign. 12 animals were divided into 6 pairs in such a way that the characteristics of one animal in the pair were opposite to those of the other animal from this pair. This is how harmony was achieved - Yin and Yang.
The order of the zodiac animals is presumably not chosen by chance: in China it is customary to start with the most important, and then put all the other signs in descending order. Just as in the beginning there is always a strong, dominant beginning of Yang, and then Yin gives harmony.
| Animal of the Zodiac | Sign | Proverb |
|---|---|---|
| Rat | Wisdom | Wisdom without hard work leads to mediocrity. |
| Bull | Hard work | Hard work without wisdom leads to meaninglessness. |
| Tiger | Bravery | Bravery without caution leads to recklessness. |
| Rabbit | Caution | Caution without courage leads to cowardice. |
| Dragon | Strength | Strength without flexibility leads to destruction. |
| Snake | Flexibility | Flexibility without strength leads to infringement. |
| Horse | Striving forward | Striving forward without unity leads to loneliness. |
| Goat | Unity | Unity without striving forward leads to stagnation. |
| Monkey | Changeability | Changeability without constancy leads to stupidity. |
| Rooster | Constancy | Constancy without changeability leads to stiffness. |
| Dog | Loyalty | Loyalty without a smile leads to rejection. |
| Pig | Friendliness | Friendliness without loyalty leads to immorality. |
Time was determined by the Chinese zodiac
Everyone knows that in the Chinese zodiac every year is associated with a certain animal, but not everyone knows that in Chinese culture there are also 12 zodiac signs used to indicate time.
In ancient times, before the invention of clocks, the earthly branches (the cyclic signs of the duodecimal cycle of the Chinese zodiac) were used to indicate time in China. For convenience, we resorted to the names of the 12 animals of the zodiac, allocating 2 hours for each sign.
According to Chinese astrology, a person's character and life are to a greater extent determines not the year, but precisely the hour of birth. And these data are widely used in the analysis of personality type and fate.

Starting from the third millennium BC, the Eastern calendar was introduced in the states of the Asian continent. The calendar was compiled during the reign of one of the legendary rulers Huang Di, and the calendar was used for a long time - about several thousand years in the countries: China, Korea, Mongolia, Japan, Vietnam, Kampuchea and others.
The eastern calendar is presented as a system that includes cycles lasting 60 years, which are compiled taking into account the movements of the Sun, Earth, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. The sixty-year cycle included the cycles of Jupiter - at 12 years, as well as the cycles of Saturn - at 30 years.
In ancient times, the territory of the East was dominated by tribes of nomadic peoples, whose time was calculated according to the cycles of Jupiter in 12 years. The peoples of China and Japan were confident that prosperity and grace would come during the movement of Jupiter. The peoples of Asian countries developed a calendar with cycles lasting 12 years, taking into account the movements of the Sun and Jupiter. The trajectory of Jupiter was divided into twelve equal-sized segments, each of which was assigned the name of a particular animal.
According to legend, Buddha invited animals to celebrate the New Year. The animals were assured of what they would be given as a gift - a whole year each, by naming the year after one or other of those invited to the meeting. After the Buddha's invitation, the following types of animals came to meet him: rat, bull, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, pig.
There is another legend. Buddha called the animals together before leaving the earth. The same 12 species of animals came to say goodbye - rat, bull, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.
After the meeting, Buddha thanked these animals and gave each of them the right to rule for one year. IN eastern countries there is a deeply rooted belief that all these animals have both positive and negative traits people born in a particular period according to the Eastern summer calendar.
In sixty years of rotation around the Sun, Jupiter makes five revolutions, so this figure underlies the worldview of naturalistic philosophy in China.
The number five symbolizes the types of natural manifestations in the form of: wood, fire, metal, water, earth. In turn, these five phenomena are accompanied by colors: green, red, yellow, white, black. In China, the sixty-year cycle was formed after the union of the duodecimal cycle “earthly branches” and the decimal cycle, which includes: wood, fire, earth, metal, water.
The decimal cycle of the “elements” corresponds to two symbols in the form of the masculine and feminine principles, which denotes the years going in order, corresponding to different animals, but one element.
The Eastern calendar is compiled for a period of 60 years, it includes twelve animals, starting with the year of the Rat and ending with the year of the Pig, as well as five elements. The next Eastern calendar is calculated from 02/02/1984. Animal years are repeated every 12 years, elemental years are repeated every 10 years.
When choosing planets during the creation of the eastern calculus, we proceeded from the fact that: the Sun develops a person’s spiritual strength, the Moon develops a person’s physical strength, Jupiter is able to control the destinies of people in society, Saturn promotes the development of intellectual abilities in people.
IN Russian Federation, V lately, The Eastern calendar has gained the greatest interest. There is no fixed date for celebrating the New Year in the East, due to the fact that its beginning depends on the first new moon in the constellation Aquarius.
The Sun enters Aquarius on January 20 or 21 and ends on February 18. That's why New Year According to the eastern calendar, it occurs from January 20 to February 18.
Elements of the signs of the eastern calendar
The eastern calendar assumes the presence of 5 elements, each element corresponds to certain colors. The elements change in the following order: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Thus, the cycle repeats itself completely after 60 years. You can determine your element and the element of a certain year by the last digit of the year:
- “4” or “5” - Tree (color green).
- “6” or “7” - Fire (color red).
- “8” or “9” - Earth (color yellow).
- “0” or “1” - Metal (white).
- “2” or “3” - Water (color black).
Each of the elements slightly changes the animal representing the year, giving it a unique shade. For example, the Fire Goat - active, active, with creative abilities, differs from the Earth Goat - a reserved, dry realist, busy with earthly, practical matters.
You can use the eastern horoscope to improve mutual understanding with your family, loved ones and friends by identifying their signs and elements, and therefore understanding the deep essence and motives of actions. Animal signs will help determine the prospects of relationships between people (friendships, love or business).
Animal sign of birth hour
According to Chinese astrology, the day is divided into 12 periods, each of which corresponds to a specific animal sign. This means that a person born at the hour of any animal will have the traits of that sign. Here are the correspondences between birth times and animal signs:
- 23.00 - 01.00 - Rat time.
- 01.00 - 03.00 - Ox time.
- 03.00 - 05.00 - Tiger time.
- 05.00 - 07.00 - Rabbit time.
- 07.00 - 09.00 - Dragon time.
- 09.00 - 11.00 - Snake time.
- 11.00 - 13.00 - Horse time.
- 13.00 - 15.00 - Sheep time.
- 15.00 - 17.00 - Monkey time.
- 17.00 - 19.00 - Rooster time.
- 19.00 - 21.00 - Dog time.
- 21.00 - 23.00 - Boar time.
Time of birth can help clarify some other nuances inherent in man character trait. It has been noticed, for example, that a Rat born at night is much more courageous and agile than one born during the day. The Ox shows its famous efficiency from the early morning, while at night it needs rest. A tiger, stalking its victims at night, seems to convey its energy of cruelty to a person of this sign, born in the dark. The Morning Rabbit is the most energetic of all, as is the Dragon, and for the Snake the early evening is most favorable. The Horse is most active during the day, and the Sheep is most active in the early morning. The Monkey, born immediately after lunch, is endowed with truly devilish cunning, and the Rooster is most significant if born at dawn. Evening Dogs stand out with their devotion even against the background of other Dogs, and the Pig is still sleeping at this time.
Incompatible Chinese horoscope signs
The signs of the eastern calendar are often depicted in a circle in a certain order, sometimes compass directions are marked on it. Looking at such a circle, it is not difficult to notice that each sign is directly opposite the other sign. These are antagonistic signs, and they are considered completely incompatible! There are six such pairs, and within each pair an astrological conflict invariably develops. The causes of these conflicts lie deep in the nature of people born under opposite signs; they are involuntary and manifest themselves mainly in how they react to surrounding reality and other people.
- Rat (Water) – Horse (Fire)
- Ox (Earth) – Sheep (Earth)
- Tiger (Wood) – Monkey (Metal)
- Dragon (Earth) – Dog (Earth)
- Rooster (Metal) – Rabbit (Wood)
- Snake (Fire) - Boar (Water)
The validity of these observations is also confirmed by the fact that in China, parents, as a rule, do not approve of children marrying people 6 years older or younger. They are well aware that in such a union conflicts and insoluble problems will certainly arise, and therefore in love it is very dangerous to ignore this incompatibility. Another thing is friendship, which in most cases is not harmed by astrological conflicts, because friends usually don't live together. In business, however, incompatibility can also be a hindrance, because completely different people in this case we are forced to carry out large number time side by side day after day. Do not despair if the results of the analysis of relationships according to the eastern horoscope are disappointing; pay attention to the signs and elements corresponding to the month and hour of birth, because under their influence characteristic features A person's personality can both weaken and strengthen.
In China they say that if the fate destined for a person from above cannot be changed, then his lot can be improved. They believe in the unity of “tian”, “ti” and “zhen” (heaven, earth and man), meaning that the two components happy fate- earthly luck and human (the third - heavenly luck) - are in the hands of the person himself.

Compatibility horoscope for zodiac signs.
Chinese astrologers divide all animal signs into four groups (three in each). It is generally accepted that people born under the same group of signs have similar characteristics that determine the way they think, which ultimately allows them to get along well with each other, support each other and get along together. This does not mean at all that they have the same character or actions, it’s just that the innate characteristics of their personalities successfully complement each other and contribute to revealing the best sides of other people from the same group. It has been noticed that partnerships, friendships and especially marriages between those born under the signs of the same group are the most successful.
Competitors- , And . All these signs are very keen on competition and decisive action. Rats need the Dragon's self-confidence and courage, because... extremely unsure of themselves. In turn, the Dragon can be too direct and sometimes simply needs the ingenuity of the Rat or even the cunning of the Monkey. The latter highly value the intelligence of the Rat and the enthusiasm of the Dragon.
Intellectuals- , And . People belonging to these signs are great pragmatists, strong personalities, often endowed with great abilities, self-confident, purposeful and decisive. Among them are thinkers and seers. The Ox is constant and firm, but he is favorably influenced by the brightness of the Rooster and the charm and dexterity of the Snake. The directness of the Rooster is balanced by the diplomatic Snake or the self-confident Bull, and the Snake, with all its ambition, can reach great heights if it is assisted by the Bull or the Rooster.
Independent- , And . These people are emotional, impulsive, restless and extremely principled - a kind of "free spirits" of the Chinese zodiac. The Horse is a born strategist, but to make anything a reality it needs a decisive Dog or an impulsive Tiger. He can also give vent to the Horse’s restlessness, while only the Dog can calm it down. The Tiger will also benefit from communicating with the Dog - her constant good nature will keep him from being excessively cruel.
