What year is 34 according to the Chinese zodiac? Detailed Chinese horoscope by date of birth: elements, compatibility and characteristics

There are several legends that shed light on the appearance of the eastern horoscope. The most common one says that the 12 animals, after which periods of time are named, are a motley company that came to the call of Buddha, who was saying goodbye to earthly life. According to the second version, the animals were summoned by a rat, carrying out the imperial order, and in the third version, the animals had to compete in running and swimming.

Be that as it may, it is these 12 mythological animals that personify the cosmic influences that manifest themselves in the year of people’s birth and influence their entire future life. This system breaks down the passage of time into 60-year cycles in which 12 animals and 5 elements alternate.

Unlike the Western horoscope, where each of the 12 signs corresponds to one month, in the Eastern horoscope each “beast sign” reigns for a whole year. Counting is carried out according to the lunar calendar, and the beginning of the year falls on the second full moon after the winter solstice (i.e. after December 22).

Nina I really want to know, if there is no exact time of birth, where can I find out. My mother does not have the exact time of my birth. Thank you 10/05/2019 at 15:10 Alexey Hello, Nina! If there is no exact time of birth, then the time is usually set at noon (12:00). But the grid of houses will not be accurate, because... this can change the horoscope greatly. In general, horoscope rectification is done, but this requires a lot of experience and knowledge from the astrologer. After this, you will know the exact time of birth. 10/05/2019 at 17:55 Alice And I would also like to know your opinion: Does the “highest” horoscope work? They told me that I am Ophiuchus, and not a Sagittarius at all. It seems that I have the moon in Scorpio in the last °, in conjunction with Mercury in Sagittarius in the first ° Who am I? 07/13/2019 at 19:07 Alexey Hello, Alisa! To determine Ophiuchus, you can look in the natal chart of the Sun (other planets are also possible) in what Zodiac and degree; according to some data, the extent is 14 degrees - from 24 degrees of Scorpio to 7 degrees (inclusive) of Sagittarius. But this is a separate movement of astrology and has nothing to do with classical astrology. Those. The sun is in Scorpio (from 24-30 degrees) or Sagittarius (from 0-7 degrees). 07/18/2019 at 10:22 pm Alisa Wonderful site. Everything is simple and easy to understand. No fancy gobbledygook with calculations of natal or synastry... and the decoding is as detailed as possible, does not raise any questions. Thank you. Tell me: Kvasha’s vector ring actually exists, or is it just a fantasy...What do you think? 07/13/2019 at 18:57 Alexey Hello, Alisa! Thank you for your feedback. The vector ring essentially describes the relationship between the signs of the Eastern horoscope, how we describe the signs of the Zodiac based on their general features, who is compatible or not, etc. By general signs this can be described and this is the case, but not so much if we consider the horoscope individually. 07/18/2019 at 22:18

Various legends explain in different ways the origin of the correspondence of twelve animals to the symbols of the Chinese horoscope, but they all, as a rule, agree that the so-called eastern calendar was created by the Buddha himself.

The first mentions of the eastern calendar, or, using traditional terminology, the horoscope, are found already in the third millennium BC.

Since time immemorial, Chinese astrologers have had the knowledge and skills to tell literally everything about the character and fate of a person, knowing only the date of his birth.

Chinese Horoscope (Eastern Horoscope)

When talking about the eastern horoscope, they mainly mean the Chinese horoscope, although it can mean both the Chinese and Japanese “animal calendar”. In fact, this is the same calendar, only distributed in different areas.

Astrology is believed to have originated in China around the third millennium BC. Experts in this field have always enjoyed great honor and respect; both government officials and wealthy merchants turned to them for advice.

Around the middle of the second millennium BC, China developed a 60-year cycle based on the alternation of 12 animals (each ruling one year) and five elements (fire, water, earth, wood, metal) that bring special traits to character person born in a particular year.

Animals that the Chinese have entrusted to control over the years - rat, bull, tiger, rabbit (cat), dragon, snake, horse, sheep (goat), rooster, dog, pig - were not chosen by chance. According to legend, it was these animals that came to say goodbye to Buddha when he left the Earth.

According to another version, the rat was instructed to invite other animals to the emperor, who was supposed to choose stewards for the years; according to the third, a swimming and running competition was arranged between them. All Chinese legends agree that the rat achieved the right to open the cycle not by honest means, but by cunning, and therefore people born in the years allotted to it are characterized by resourcefulness.

It must be remembered that the traditional Chinese horoscope is based on the lunar calendar, which is different from the Gregorian calendar. Therefore, people born in January or early February sometimes “submit” to the sign of the previous year. You can determine in which year according to the Chinese calendar you were born using special tables.

Twelve animals, each of which patronizes its own year, are divided into four “triads”.

The first triad includes: Rat, Dragon and Monkey. People born in the corresponding years are energetic and active. They can be very kind or very evil, but they don't know the middle. The Rat and the Dragon are distinguished by a rather authoritarian style of communication; the Monkey achieves its goal in a more diplomatic way. For the most part, people of these signs are smart, charming, but tend to trust stereotypes.

The second triad includes: Bull, Snake and Rooster. They all achieve success through hard work, constant and tireless efforts. Their hard work is worthy of praise, and their ability to plan their actions deserves admiration. In addition, people born in the corresponding years are usually kind, patient and punctual.

The third triad consists of: Tiger, Horse and Dog. They are attracted to each other like a magnet and are distinguished by a special, humanistic view of the world, which, however, does not prevent the Horse from being selfish. People of these three signs are characterized by the ability to deftly conduct a conversation, convince people, and easily establish contacts. Each of them has many acquaintances, but really needs only one close person to whom they can entrust all the secrets.

Fourth triad - these are Rabbit (Cat), Sheep (Goat) and Pig. They are distinguished by the desire for a beautiful life, a heightened sense of beauty and pronounced creative abilities. All of them are artistic, have developed intuition and good manners. Their souls are created for love and turn it into real art. But for all their merits, the signs of the fourth triad seem to lack a certain internal rigidity, a special energy necessary for real success.

Astrology has always been the most reliable source of knowledge of the future. The process of prediction in astrology varies somewhat in different parts of the world. For example, in India, they predict the future using Vedic astrology Jyotish. However, the basic principles of astrology remain the same, the only differences are in the prediction procedure.

The Chinese Horoscope is based on the signs of 12 animals. According to him, each zodiac sign carries certain characteristics, on the basis of which astrologers create horoscopes. Let's find out your eastern horoscope sign.

Chinese horoscope signs

The Eastern zodiac is represented by twelve zodiac signs, each of which belongs to a specific animal. According to the most popular legend, only these dozen brave men were able to cross the cold wide river to appear before the Buddha. 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 of a year, in accordance with the cycle of Jupiter's revolution.

According to the lunar calendar, which is based on the east, the year begins not 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 from January 21 to February 20. Those born during this period need to calculate their year especially carefully.

The eastern horoscope consists of 12 zodiac signs and 5 elements - Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood. They make up a 60-year calendar cycle, which always opens the year of the Rat of the wood element and closes the year of the Pig of the water element. The current 60-year cycle began in 1984, Rats of the wood element, and will end in 2044, Pig of the water element.

The combination of an animal and an 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 a person’s capabilities, while the Western one describes his intentions and goals. Thus, the eastern horoscope helps to understand the orientation of everyone’s spiritual needs, style of expression and ways of interacting with others and the world as a whole.

Year of birth elements According to the Chinese horoscope, all creatures and objects are composed of five main elements - earth, wood, fire, metal and water. Also, each animal of the eastern zodiac calendar has a positive, neutral, and negative element.

Whatever animal rules the current year, initially the year has its own element, which will remind itself of itself, creating either positive or negative versions of events. That is, according to astrologers, taking into account the influence of the elements, it is not at all necessary that the most favorable years for a person will be precisely those years dominated by the animal in the year in which he was born. Of course, people born in the same year, i.e., under the influence of the same element and sign of the Chinese horoscope, are unlikely to be absolutely similar in character, habits, etc., since the energy of the year reflects only the general qualities of one or the other. another sign.

A more careful consideration of all the nuances gives a more complete picture of the personality of a certain person. Any unit of time can be compared with any of the signs that the Chinese horoscope contains.

Five elements system

The “Heavenly Trunk” of the decimal cycle is one of the five main elements (elements) revered in China. The first two years of any decade pass under the sign of a strong, financially successful Metal. Years ending in “2” and “3” are ruled by emotionally sensitive Water. For the next two years, the influence of Wood, an element that stimulates the development of creative abilities, extends. This year, like 2017, is the time of Fire. The distinctive features of this element are activity and passion. The “8” or “9” at the end of the year designation corresponds to the stable and reliable element Earth.

Important components of the 10-ary cycle are the concepts of “yang” and “yin”. The masculine principle, or yang, in the Chinese mind is hot, dry, light, mobile, extroverted. Its absolute opposite is the feminine principle: yin is cold, wet, dark, static, introverted. Yang energy is typical for even years: 2016, 2018, 2020 and so on. Odd years correspond to yin. How does energy affect the forecast? “Male” years are considered favorable for beginnings, “female” years are considered favorable for completing old affairs. The yang period is good for activating and establishing contacts, yin is for rest, accumulation of strength and resources.

Elements of the Chinese horoscope

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).

It’s better to start with the general characteristics of the animal sign.
Even more accurate data can be obtained by determining the animal sign of the hour of birth. 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 in the hour of any animal will have the traits of this 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

The time of birth can help clarify some other nuances of a person’s character traits. 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.

The principles of yin and yang

In addition to the elements, each animal of the eastern zodiac expresses the masculine Yang principle or the feminine Yin principle. The Yang principle personifies the masculine, active principle, the desire for creative development and exploration of new opportunities.

The Yin principle personifies the feminine, passive principle, the ability to accept and preserve, select the most valuable and create a tradition. The yang years include odd numbers - Rat, Tiger, Dragon, Horse, Monkey, Dog. Yin years include even ones - Ox, Rabbit, Snake (yin/yang), Goat (Sheep), Rooster, Pig.

Colors and elements of the eastern calendar (5 and 10 year cycle)

You can notice that for the same color and element two years go in a row, one after another. This is a feature of the Chinese calendar, when in a sixty-year cycle the elements change every two years, and animals change every year.

Characteristics of signs: character traits

It is more correct to characterize the signs of the Chinese horoscope by dividing all twelve signs of the Zodiac into four groups of three signs.

First group:

• Rat.
• The Dragon.
• Monkey.

Second:

• Snake.
• Rooster.

Third:

• Tiger.
• Horse.
• Dog.

Fourth:

• Rabbit (Cat).
• Goat.
• Pig.

The characteristics and character traits of the signs of the eastern horoscope, according to Chinese astrology, coincide with similar qualities of a certain animal.

• The character of people born in the year of the Rat, Dragon and Monkey is changeable. At times they are very kind or they can be quite evil. Such people are usually energetic, unpredictable, and easy to offend.
• The character of people born in the year of the Ox, Snake and Rooster can be described as balanced. People are hardworking and achieve success in life thanks to hard work and skillful business planning.
• Character of people born in the year of the Tiger, Horse and Dog. People have the gift of persuasion; they can easily communicate on any topic. Such people make excellent businessmen, they have many acquaintances, but for personal communication they urgently need one close, loving person.

Compatibility according to the Chinese horoscope

The Chinese compatibility horoscope by year identifies four groups of signs that are optimally compatible with each other both in love and in friendship or in business relationships.

First group: Rat, Dragon, Monkey.

Representatives of the listed signs are endowed with the highest level of energy. They easily suppress anyone who has less strength and passion. That is why they are recommended to have equally bright partners in relationships.

• Year of the Rat: 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
• Year of the Dragon: 1904, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012

Second group: Ox, Snake, Rooster.

These signs have a calm, self-possessed character. Above all, they value stability and the absence of drama. That is why they will get along well with each other and create a strong, reliable tandem in marriage, in love, and in the business sphere of life.

• Year of the Ox: 1901, 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1997, 2009, 2021

Third group: Tiger, Horse, Dog.

Representatives of this triad are attracted to each other, since each of the signs represented is endowed with decency, faith in goodness and the desire to find an ideal soul mate.

• Year of the Tiger: 1902, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1960, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010

Fourth group: Rabbit (Cat), Sheep (Goat), Pig.

Representatives of these signs are endowed with a gentle character. They tend to give rather than take, and therefore very often they, willy-nilly, have to become victims of someone’s greed. In alliance with each other, the listed signs will be able to avoid many dramas and feel safe.

• Year of the Rabbit: 1903, 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011

Incompatible signs of the eastern horoscope

It is important to take into account that it is quite difficult for pairs of eastern calendar signs that are opposite each other, if you follow a circle consisting of 12 animals, to get along with each other. The Chinese horoscope does not recommend these couples to build relationships in the personal, business or friendly aspects of life.

Incompatible with each other:

• Rat and Horse, Ox and Sheep (Goat), Tiger and Monkey
• Rabbit (Cat) and Rooster, Dragon and Dog, Snake and Pig (Boar)

Legends and characteristics

Expert opinion

Practicing astrologer

Adeline

There are a large number of horoscopes. Among them, zodiac predictions are extremely popular. Now it is difficult to imagine at least one person who would not know what zodiac sign he has.
Even the most ardent skeptics, without reading horoscopes, know exactly about their sign and its characteristics.

History of the creation of zodiac signs

To create a theory about cyclicity in nature, the priests conducted a lot of observations and noted a pattern. Ancient astrologers noticed 12 constellations in the night sky at once and noted that all events that occur on Earth are directly related to the Sun. They noted that the solar disk passes through all the constellations within 1 year. Astrologers called this path the zodiac circle and divided it into 12 constellations. They are now familiar to us, like the signs of the zodiac.

According to teachings, a person’s character and his outlook on life directly depend on what day they were born and what constellation the Sun was in at that time.

Since there were 12 constellations, a zodiac horoscope was compiled for 12 signs.

Each of them has individual characteristics that affect a person.

In the countries of the East

In Eastern countries, an astrological calendar is very common, in which the years are combined into twelve-year cycles, just as in the Western horoscope the year is divided into twelve zodiac constellations. Every year in the eastern horoscope is named after an animal. People born this year are assigned the qualities inherent in this animal, according to life observations and Eastern mythology.

Every twelve years the cycle repeats and the animal returns, but it is not exactly the same animal, because in the full circle of the eastern horoscope there are five different Rats, Bulls, Tigers, etc. The animal remains, but its element changes.

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 by the last digit of your year of birth:

• “4” or “5” - Wood (color green, blue)
• “6” or “7” - Fire (color red, pink)
• “8” or “9” - Earth (color yellow, lemon, ocher)
• “0” or “1” - Metal (white)
• “2” or “3” - Water (color black, blue)

That is why they also call the year by color, for example, 2011 is the year of the White (metal) Rabbit (Cat).

Chinese astrology predates Western astrology and differs from it in many aspects. Western astrology, when analyzing, is limited only to the character of a person, and does not predict his fate.

On the other hand, a large part of Chinese astrology focuses on predicting a person's life path, with accuracy to the extent that it can make a prediction about the happy and tragic events that may happen in a person's life.

It is interesting to note that Chinese astrology and feng shui are closely intertwined - the astrological characteristics of a person are used in many schools of feng shui to determine the optimal placement of home furniture and accessories that are specifically designed for that person.

There are 12 zodiac signs in the Eastern calendar, similar to the 12 zodiac signs in Western astrology. Graphically, it is a 12-section pie chart, with each animal section representing one zodiac sign.

The 12 signs of the zodiac symbolize the 12 animals in the eastern calendar: rat, bull, tiger, rabbit, snake, sheep (goat), monkey, rooster, and pig (boar). Just as in the West a person’s character traits depend on his zodiac sign, in Eastern astrology, in the same way a person’s character depends on what year and under what sign he was born. The difference is that Western astrology is based on the annual solar cycles of the 12 zodiac signs. In the Chinese calendar, although the periods last a full cycle, starting with a new one and ending with a full one, one animal is a symbol for the entire year. Thus, a full cycle takes 12 years. For example, if you were born in the year of the goat (sheep), your sign will be this animal and you can celebrate your birthday every 12 years.

In ancient China until today, astrology has been used to predict what will happen to countries, the outcome of wars, economic trends and much more.
