The history of the emergence of the eastern horoscope

The Chinese epic is rich in all sorts of unusual legends that explain the origin of various phenomena or things. Of course, there is also a legend of the origin of the Eastern calendar, and not even one.

Legend of the Eastern horoscope number 1

“Once the Buddha invited to his birthday (celebration of the new year, feast, the day of Buddha's departure from this world - depending on the interpretation) all the animals that would like to come themselves.

12 animals came: the time was cold, and to get to the Buddha, you had to swim across a wide river. Each animal, on a first come, first served basis, the Buddha gave one year of management. The first came - the Rat - she got the first year of the 12-year cycle.

True, eyewitnesses to this wonderful swim claim that the Buffalo was the first to reach the opposite bank, and the Rat, which did not want to get wet in cold water, asked Buffalo to carry her on his back, and he, out of the kindness of his heart, agreed.

While the buffalo was shaking himself off in order to appear before the Buddha in a decent form, the Rat, jumping off his back, quickly ran forward, and was the first. She was rewarded for her ability to take advantage of the circumstances. Some of the spectators, after some time, claimed that it was not a Rat, but a small but clever Mouse, and that she did not ask for the Buffalo on her back, but rode like a hare.

The buffalo did not notice her and was quite surprised to find himself second in line. Slightly behind the Buffalo Tiger, who got the third year. The spectators, keen on the competition between the Buffalo and the Tiger (they have been competing with each other since then in life), as it should, did not consider who came fourth - the Cat, the Hare or the Rabbit.

Over the years, it is impossible to establish the truth, and different peoples of the East still have different interpretations regarding the owner of the fourth year. The fifth was the Dragon, the sixth was the Snake, the seventh was the Horse. Then a strip of fog went along the river, and again it is not clear who was the eighth - the Goat or the Sheep (according to Japanese horoscope). The Monkey became the ninth - Only after making sure of the safety of the event, she entered the water.

The Rooster came running tenth, and he was delayed because he told his large family for a long time and in detail how she should live in his absence. Eleventh was the Dog.

In the morning she had a lot of household chores, and, having barely finished with them, she threw herself into the water. They say that then she was ill for a long time. And, finally, the Boar appeared last (according to other sources, he sent a Pig instead). Buddha gave him the last remaining year "

Legend of the Eastern horoscope number 2

“The Jade Emperor from heaven sent his servant to earth to bring twelve of the most beautiful animals from earth to reward them. The servant went down to earth and was the first to see the Rat and invited her to the king. An audience with the king was scheduled for six o'clock in the morning.

The rat was delighted, immediately ran to smarten up before meeting the king. After wandering around the land, the servant decided that the emperor would like Buffalo, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster and Dog. It remains for the servant to choose the last animal. Traveling the earth, he heard a lot about the beauty of the Cat, so he searched for him for a very long time. Not finding the Cat anywhere, the servant asked the Rat to convey the invitation to the Cat.

The Rat found the Cat, passed the invitation. But the Cat was lazy and liked to sleep, so he asked the Rat to wake him up. The rat at first agreed, but, running into its hole, and starting to comb its hair and preening itself, realized that the Cat is much more beautiful and will definitely overshadow it in the eyes of the king. The Rat could not bear this, so in the morning she did not wake the Cat.

At six in the morning of the next day, all the invited animals gathered at the king's place, except for the Cat, who was still sleeping sweetly. All the beasts prepared themselves to please the king.
The most cunning and inventive was the Rat.

She climbed onto Buffalo's back and began to play the flute, thereby subduing the king and causing a storm of delight in him.
For this, the king awarded her first place. The buffalo for his kindness gave the second place, the Tiger - the third, the Rabbit for the beautiful fur coat - the fourth, the Dragon for the unusual appearance of the fifth, the Snake for wisdom - the sixth, the Horse - the seventh, the Sheep - the eighth, the Monkey for the agility - the ninth, the Rooster - the tenth and Dog - eleventh.

Then they noticed that the last twelfth animal, the Cat, was gone. The servant had to return to earth and urgently look for the last symbol of the year. The first thing he saw was the Pig, and he invited her. Meanwhile, the Cat woke up, found that he had slept, and the Rat did not wake him up. The cat ran with all his might to the palace. Meanwhile, the servant with the Pig came to the palace, and the king saw the ugly Pig and gave her the last twelfth place.

The cat ran into the hall, but it was too late. All 12 characters of the year have been approved. And even in spite of the fact that the Tsar liked the Cat very much, nothing could be changed. Therefore, since then, the Cat has been terribly offended by the Rat and between them there is a long-standing irreconcilable enmity. "

Video: 12 Animals of the Chinese Calendar

| Eastern calendar

Eastern (Chinese) calendar of the zodiac signs.

The eastern calendar, which has been in effect for several thousand years in Vietnam, Kampuchea, China, Korea, Mongolia, Japan and some other Asian countries, was compiled during the half-legendary emperor Huang-di in the middle of the third millennium BC. The Eastern calendar is a 60-year cyclic system. It is based on the astronomical cycles of the Sun, Earth, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. The 60-year cycle includes a 12-year Jupiter cycle and a 30-year Saturn cycle. The 12-year period of Jupiter was considered the most important for the life of nomads, and in those days the main peoples of the East were nomadic tribes. The ancient Chinese and Japanese believed that the normal movement of Jupiter brought benefits and virtues.
By dividing the path of Jupiter into twelve equal parts and giving each part the name of a certain animal, the peoples of Asia created a solar-Jupiter 12-year calendar cycle. Legend has it that all the animals were invited by the Buddha to celebrate the first New Year. Buddha promised to give the animals a whole year, which will be named after them. Only 12 animals came to the Buddha's invitation - a rat, a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster, a dog. The pig was the last to come to meet the Buddha.
According to another legend, Buddha summoned animals before leaving the earth. To say goodbye to Buddha, came a rat, a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster, a dog and a pig. The grateful Buddha gave these 12 animals one year of reign each.

The eastern calendar begins with the year of the rat and ends with the year of the pig. In the East, it is widely believed that these animals have the ability to impart certain traits to the one who was born in this year of the animal, both good and bad.
In sixty years, Jupiter makes five revolutions. This number corresponded to the worldview of Chinese natural philosophy. The number five was a symbol of the five elements of nature - wood, fire, metal (gold), water, earth, which correspond to color designations (blue, red, yellow, white, black).
The Chinese sixty-year-old was formed as a result of the unification of the twelve-fold cycle ("earthly branches"), for each year of which the name of the animal was fixed, and the decimal cycle of the "elements" ("heavenly branches"): five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) , each of which corresponded to two cyclical signs, personifying the masculine and feminine principles (therefore, in the Chinese calendar, there are consecutive years corresponding to different animals, but one element).

12 animals, 5 elements - hence the cycle of the eastern calendar is 60 years. This cycle starts from the year Wood Rat and ends with the year of the Water Pig. The next 60-year cycle of the eastern calendar began on February 2, 1984. The animal years are repeated every 12 years, and the elements - every 10 years.
The choice of these planets when creating the eastern calendar is explained by the fact that the Sun influences the development human spirit, The moon is on physical development body, Jupiter - controls the behavior of people in public life, and the planet Saturn - forms individual characteristics person.

V recent times in Russia, the eastern calendar is becoming more and more popular. There is no fixed date for the Eastern New Year. New Year according to the Eastern calendar begins on the first new moon, which occurs in the zodiac sign Aquarius. The sun enters the sign of Aquarius on January 20 or 21 and ends on February 18. Therefore, the New Year according to the Eastern calendar begins in the period from January 20 to February 18, at which time one fabulous animal transfers the reins to another.

In the countries of the East, it is very common, in which the years are combined into twelve-year cycles, just as in western horoscope the year is divided into twelve zodiac constellations. Each year in the eastern calendar is named after an animal. People born in this year are assigned the qualities inherent in this animal, according to life observations and oriental mythology.
Every twelve years the cycle repeats and the animal returns, but this is not quite the same animal, because in the full circle of the eastern horoscope there are five different Rats, Bulls, Tigers, etc. The animal remains, but it changes.

Elements of the signs of the eastern calendar.

The eastern calendar assumes the presence, each element corresponds 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 (green, blue)
"6" or "7" - Fire (red, pink)
"8" or "9" - Earth (yellow, lemon, ocher)
"0" or "1" - Metal (white)
"2" or "3" - Water (black, blue)

Eastern calendar signs.

Chinese astorologists classify all animal signs into four groups (three in each). It is generally accepted that people born under the signs of the same group have similar characteristics that determine the course of their thoughts, 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 just congenital features their personalities successfully complement each other and contribute to the disclosure best sides other people in 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 competitive and decisive. Rats need the self-confidence and courage of the Dragon, because extremely insecure. In turn, the Dragon is too straightforward and sometimes he just needs the Rat's wits or even the Monkey's cunning. The latter highly value the intellectuality 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. There are thinkers and seers among them. The bull is constant and firm, but it 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 confident Ox, and the Snake, with all its ambition, can reach great heights if the Ox or the Rooster helps her.
Independent- , and . These people are emotional, impulsive, restless and extremely principled - a kind of "free spirits" chinese zodiac... The Horse is a born strategist, but to translate anything into reality, it needs a decisive Dog or an impulsive Tiger. He can give way to the restlessness of the Horse, while only the Dog is able to calm her down. The Tiger will also benefit from communication with the Dog - her unfailing good nature will keep him from being overly cruel.
Diplomats- (Cat), and. People of these signs are restrained, artless, not great intellectuals, they are not seduced by risk. But they are modest and sympathetic, sociable and sensitive, tenderly take care of each other and are always happy to do something pleasant. The Rabbit's perspicacity balances the Sheep's generosity, and the Sheep needs a sense of the priorities that Rabbit gives her. The power of the Boar complements the Sheep's indulgent nature and strategic thinking A rabbit.

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 easy to see 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 an astrological conflict invariably develops within each pair. The causes of these conflicts are deeply rooted in the nature of people born under opposite signs; they are involuntary and are manifested mainly in how they react to the surrounding reality and other people. These pairs are:

The validity of these observations is confirmed, among other things, by the fact that in China, parents, as a rule, do not approve of marriages of children with people 6 years older or younger. They know well that in such a union, conflicts and insoluble problems will surely 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, since friends don't usually live together. In business, however, incompatibilities can also get in the way, because completely different people in this case are forced to spend a large number of 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 characteristics a person's personality can both weaken and strengthen.
In China, they say that if the destiny assigned to a person from above cannot be changed, then his lot can be improved. There they believe in the unity of "tian", "ti" and "zhen" (heaven, earth and man), meaning that the two components happy destiny- earthly luck and human (the third - heavenly luck) - are in the hands of the person himself.

Each of us was born under a certain zodiac constellation... They say that it is it that has an incredible effect on a person's life, predetermines further destiny and basic character traits. Experienced astrologers can tell a lot about a visitor, only having learned the day of his birth. You can verify the veracity of the above by looking into any one and comparing the characteristics written in it with yourself. 90% of people admit that such astrological predictions are absolutely correct.

Each year the eastern calendar assigns a special meaning, which has an impact not only on the fate of those who were born during this period, but also on the events taking place at this time. Astrologers have determined that the characters and habits of people often resemble the behavior of animals, therefore, for Chinese calendar 12 characters have been selected, one of which represents mythical creature- Dragon. The rest are named after existing animals.

In the eastern horoscope, all animals are arranged in a certain order, the sequence is preserved and repeated every 12 years, therefore, the years of life that are significant for a person are multiples of twelve: 12, 24, 36, etc.

When an animal that patronizes at birth comes into power, the most important and crucial events take place: people get married, the two halves find each other, and some partings happen.

• Metal;
• Water;
• Wood;
• Fire;
• Earth.

This list, like the order in which the power of a particular animal comes, is repeated in a logical sequence. For example, 1990 is ruled by the Horse, like 2002, but in the first case, this period is ruled by Metal, and in the second by Water, so the impact on the events will be different.

It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the procedure for determining its sign depends on lunar phase... The eastern calendar counts the months from the new moon. Therefore, those born at the beginning of the year may refer to the influence of the previous sign. To find out which animal corresponds to a certain year and which element controls it, you just need to check the following table.

The ancient Chinese correlated each element with its inherent color:

• Metal - white;
• The tree is green;
• Fire is red;
• Water is blue;
• The ground is yellow.

Thus, since 2018 is patronized by the Earth, and the year itself is in the power of the Dog, then the animal was identified as yellow. But in Chinese astrology, color does not really matter, it is just that many find it easier to associate an animal not with an element, but with a color.

How does the element affect?

The zodiac sign of an animal affects the character of a person, but the elements affect the environment, give directions in which events develop:

• The earth balances everything. Years subject to this element are spent in labors that bring significant results. Such periods are usually marked by large harvests, stabilization of the economic situation. There is an increase in profits and a strengthening of the financial situation.
• Water marks the changing years. When this element rules, there are coups, rapid ups and downs. general characteristics such years are assessed by astrologers as negative. During these years, everything is shaky and unstable, it is noted natural disasters and political differences at the global level.
