Chinese horoscope by year and element: Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, Earth

Chinese horoscope by elements and years

The Chinese New Year does not coincide in time with the European New Year, it occurs at midnight of the day on which the second new moon after the winter solstice falls (the winter solstice lasts three days, from December 21 to 23).

Therefore, those who were born in January, February, early March should look exactly what year they belong to in the table presented at the bottom of the article. If the New Year has not yet arrived at the time they were born, they belong to the sign of the previous year.

Elements of the Chinese horoscope: Wood, Water, Metal, Earth, Fire

There are 12 animals and five elements in the Chinese horoscope. Multiplying these numbers, we get a full cycle of 60 years.

Each element has its own color: Wood - green, Water - blue / black, Metal - white, Earth - ocher / yellow, Fire - red.

The Metal element imparts determination, strength and individualism.

Water - creativity, sociability and dynamism.

The tree gives virtue and compassion, as well as self-confidence.

Fire - ingenuity and determination.

The earth imparts practicality, prudence and reliability.

In addition, each sign has its own "natural" element. It is always the same, regardless of the year of birth of a person (only four elements are natural).

The calendar cycle of the eastern horoscope consists of five periods of 12 years. Each of these periods is associated with one of the five astrological elements.

In addition, there are even and odd years, or active (yang) and passive (yin); they constantly alternate with each other and demonstrate different sides of the same elements.

As a result of this construction of the “eastern” horoscope, the five-pointed star of the magicians, read in it clockwise in a circle, is viewed at least twice:

1. The elements of the eastern horoscope alternate sequentially in pairs (yang and yin) years.

For example:

Fire (2006 yang - 2007 yin) - Earth (2008 yang - 2009 yin) - Metal (2010 yang - 2011 yin) - Water (2012 yang - 2013 yin) - Wood (2014 yang - 2015 yin) - Fire (2016 yang - 2022 yin).

2. In the alternation of the elements of years having the same name. For example, Years of the Dog:

Fire (46 yang) - Earth (58 yang) - Metal (70 yang) - Water (82 yang) - Wood (94 yang) - Fire (2006 yang). . .

Or, for example, the years of the Monkey:

Fire (56 yang) - Earth (68 yang) - Metal (80 yang) - Water (92 yang) - Wood (2004 yang) - Fire 2016 yang). . .

In other branches of knowledge, in particular in reflexology, all four readings of the five-pointed star are used. Moreover, each of its rays corresponds to certain organs of the human body.

1. The elements of wood correspond to the liver and gall bladder.
2. The elements of fire are the heart and small intestine.
3. The elements of earth are the spleen and stomach.
4. The elements of metal are the lungs and the large intestine.
5. The elements of water are the kidneys and bladder.

Based on the five-pointed star of magicians, not only astrological elements, the elements of the eastern horoscope, but also much more are considered.

For example, five types of taste, five emotions, five colors (meaning the three primary colors: red, yellow, blue, as well as achromatic colors: white and black).

Sour taste is associated with the element of wood, bitter - with fire, sweet - with earth, spicy - with metal, salty - with water.

The emotion of rage is associated with the element of wood, joy with fire, meditation with earth, sadness with metal, fear with water.

Blue is associated with the element of wood, red with fire, yellow with earth, white with metal, black with water.

Therefore, in the “eastern” horoscope it is customary to indicate not only the name of the creature patronizing the year (for example, the year of the Dragon or the year of the Snake), but also its color.

“Color of the year” indicates that a given year belongs to a particular element (for example, the year of the Black Dragon is the year of the Dragon and the elements of Water, and the year of the White Dragon is the year of the Dragon and the elements of Metal).

Horoscope for 2022 for everyone

On January 25, 2022, at 3:42 am according to the time of the capital of Kazakhstan, the year of the White Metal Rat according to the lunar calendar comes into its own. In East Asian countries, this date is considered the beginning of the year and is widely celebrated. According to the eastern horoscope, the year of the Rat is the beginning of a new 12-year cycle, and therefore gives us all a lot of energy and strength. A Zakon.kz correspondent attended the New Year's seminar “Feng Shui forecast for 2022 of the Rat” and learned from the famous Kazakh astrologer Elena Topolskaya a detailed horoscope for the next 12 months for each of you, by year and birthday.

The specialist draws attention to the fact that on January 25, 2022 at 3:42 am, the year of the White Metal Rat will begin according to the lunar calendar, but according to the solar calendar, the year of the Rat will begin on February 4, 2020 at 17:57, some astrologers start from the last date.

According to Topolskaya, the Rat is very active, enterprising, she cannot sit still, she builds Napoleonic plans and runs to implement them.

— The new 12-year cycle opens a long period of 48 prosperous, creative years. Maybe every single person will not feel this in their life, but this should affect the world economy, the political situation, somehow everything will gradually stabilize. The ending 12-year cycle was a crisis, there was a global shift in power, a lot has changed, and with the onset of a new cycle everything will calm down. In 2022, we all need to be prepared for the fact that we will have to work a lot,” Topolskaya said.

The Year of the Rat in 2022 will be under the influence of two main elements - Yang Metal (heavenly trunk) and Yang Water (Rat itself).

Metal is an element of wealth, so 2022 promises good income, and Water promises prosperity for the industries that relate to it in Eastern astrology and Feng Shui (sales, fast consumer goods, politics, dry cleaners, etc.).

— In 2022, money is earned and accumulated. But there is a nuance here. Personality element of the year - Fire, this is you and me, this is a person, there is a lot of work around him, he works hard, there is a lot of money around him, but when there is too much wealth and we cannot keep it, we turn into a cashier in a bank, when There is a lot of money around you, but it is not yours. In order not to become a “bank teller” in 2022, you need to activate the elements of Wood and Fire - knowledge, study, education, spiritual information (astrology, feng shui, for example) and other people, partnership. That is, if you strive to do it yourself and not share it with anyone, then the likelihood of success is small. The secret of success for 2022 is to negotiate, unite, enter into partnerships, learn new knowledge, then there is a chance to manage all this metal, accumulate all this money,” advised Elena Topolskaya.

In terms of personal life, the year of the Metal Rat is a good period to enter into marriage and long-term relationships, according to the astrologer, relationships that begin in 2022 can last for a very long time, this is due to personal life, business partnerships and friendships, as well a very good period for marriage.

Despite the fact that the coming year will be very favorable, there are a couple of nuances that are important to know about.

- Everything is fine, the only thing is that there is not much strength and energy, because Fire is weak. Therefore, somewhere you will feel a loss of strength, “the gasoline has run out,” so we artificially come up with something: sports, qi-gong, the elements of Wood and Fire, we activate so that strength appears. You will have to work a lot, you need to come up with something in order to have time to rest, unload, delegate, because there will be a desire to work, take on everything, but this does not guarantee a good result. Health. “Don’t overuse your strength,” the astrologer advised.

Individual forecast for everyone

To find out an individual forecast for each of us, you need to calculate your four pillars of Ba Tzu on a special website. Click on these blue letters, on the website that opens, in the appropriate fields, enter your date, place and time (if you know) of birth, gender and click “calculate”. When the table with hieroglyphs opens, check the box “show names of hieroglyphs.” In the “year” column you can see in the year of which animal according to the eastern horoscope you were born (in the above example, 1991 is the year of the White Metal Goat), but in order to find out your horoscope, the symbol that appears in the column “ birthday" at the top.

This is a symbol of the personality element, it is the one that will interact with the set of characteristics of the year of the White Metal Rat - Yang Metal and Yang Water. Everyone will have their own, depending on their date of birth. In the above example, the personality element is “Yin Metal”, so you need to look below at the horoscope for Yin metal. Accordingly, look for your personality element in the resulting Ba Tzu table, and read what awaits you specifically in 2022.

Fire Yang

For people with a Yang Fire personality element, the Rat represents the so-called “seventh killer,” which is expressed in aggressive power and intensive career development.

- That is, this means that in 2022 people with the “Yang Fire” personality element will decide that it’s time to do something big, serious, but at the same time there is a risk of becoming aggressive, impatient, and not listening to anyone. That is, intensive career development is expected, but it makes a person uncompromising,” commented Elena Topolskaya.

In turn, the element of the year Metal Yang for people of Fire Yang is unexpected wealth, money from business, a hit.

— Combined with intensive career development and intransigence, you won’t just wave your saber, but at least earn money. Water is an element of power, career, Metal is an element of wealth, it’s right to pursue a career and earn money next year,” the astrologer noted.

For Fire women, the element of power is also the husband, so there are good prospects in terms of personal life, a great chance of finding a suitable life partner if they are not already married.

Fire Yin

Calm power means smooth career development, and for women also harmonious relationships with men. The potential for wealth is very large, that is, salary, regular income, financial stability. For men, the element of wealth is a woman, a wife, therefore for both Fire women and Fire men there is very great potential in the sphere of personal life.

Yang tree

The Rat will give indirect resources, this is unusual knowledge, something non-standard, Yang Metal means the already mentioned “seventh killer”. In total, this combination will bring people with the Yang Tree personality element great success in their careers.

Yin tree

The Rat will bring a direct resource, this is standard knowledge, support, Yang Metal gives calm power, that is, this is a smooth career advancement, career development. The astrologer notes that the year will give people with the Yin Tree personality element the opportunity to study, good knowledge and chances for calm career growth.

Yang Earth and Yin Earth

For people of the Earth, the Rat promises wealth; for those with the “Yang Earth” personality element, unexpected wealth is expected (a jackpot, money from business), for the “Yin Earth” it is a stable income. Metal carries an element of self-expression for the Earth. The “Land of Yin” will be characterized by a spirit of rebellion. This is the desire for independence, new projects and private business, that is, the year of the Metal Rat for the “Earth of Yin” is the best time to start your own business and not work for anyone, or go freelance.

"Yang Earth" is more concerned with everyday work and self-expression within certain limits.

Yang Metal and Yin Metal

For Metal people, the Rat brings self-expression (Yang Metal) or a spirit of rebellion (Yin Metal), people with the Yin Metal personality element will not want to obey, do things their own way, embodying their ideas, and the Rat will provide this opportunity. Metal Yan deals more with day-to-day work. There are a lot of people around the owners of the “Metal” personality element, but for “Yang Metal” these are friends, allies, like-minded people, you can meet someone, make friends and partners, but for “Yin Metal” other people are competitors, rivals. Therefore, people with the Yin Metal personality element may find themselves in a fiercely competitive environment. And if the Yin Metal people themselves are strong, they will become leaders, get ahead of everyone and prove that they are the best. If a person with the “Metal Yin” personality is weak in spirit, then the year will not be very successful for them; they will be ahead of their competitors in no time. That is, they will be interfered with, and to succeed they will have to push someone with their elbows.

Yang Water and Yin Water

For people of Yang Water, the Rat (itself being Yang Water) will bring new strong friendships, allies, associates, like-minded people; people of “Yin Water” will find competitors and rivals in people.

— The advantage of competition is that leadership qualities of character are included, but the downside is that there is a risk of defeat, including the possibility of interference from third parties in personal life. “Competition is a plunderer of wealth,” added Topolskaya.

The element of Metal gives people of “Yang Water” an indirect resource (unusual knowledge, support), and people of “Yin Water” a direct resource (popular knowledge and support).

It is important who will have special luck in 2022

If in your personal horoscope the signs of your year of birth or birthday are Rabbit, Boar or Sheep , then the year of the White Metal Rat has prepared another pleasant feature for you.

- The peach blossom star that forms for the Rabbit, Boar and Sheep in 2022 means greater attractiveness to the opposite sex. If you are single, then this is your time to flirt, go out, smile at strangers and strangers, there will be good results, good romantic opportunities will appear. If you are married, then your eyes are burning, there will be a lot of temptations, if this is your spouse, you need to keep an eye on it, you never know what might happen. It also allows you to win people over. For the Rabbit, the Rat is a very strong romance, there is already too much, there is a high probability of going on a spree before causing a scandal, you need to be more careful,” advised Elena Topolskaya.

The same applies to people with the Water/Yang .

Those with birth year or birthday signs Rat, Dragon or Monkey will receive the Star of Dominance. That is, leadership qualities of character will be clearly expressed, you can safely take on the role of a leader, leader, make decisions, take responsibility, and this will bring good results.

The star of prospects in the year of the White Metal Rat is formed for people with the Yin Water .

“This means that people with this element of personality will be purposeful, enterprising, thanks to their personal connections, the ability to realize their plans, and ambitions they will be able to achieve great success,” said Topolskaya.

Yin Tree and Yin Earth personality elements will experience a special combination in 2022 – “Aristocrat Star”, which promises help from friends, decent surroundings and luck.

And people with the Yin Metal will be awarded the year of the Metal Rat with the “Star of Academician”, that is, success in studies, acquisition of new knowledge and scientific activity is expected, money and opportunities will be found.

Boars (Pig) and Dogs are at the peak of success, Roosters are also “gaining momentum” and achieving fame.

For those born in the year of the Ox and Tiger , a new stage in life begins, a period of renewal, new beginnings and travel begins.

Important - who to fear in 2022

“Yang Water” personality element , in addition to everything mentioned above, the year of the Rat gives a lot of strength and authority, which is good for career and leadership.

“But the aggressiveness of the character is intensifying, any little thing can be a reason for conflict and stress, Yang Water has such a nuance that it becomes overly aggressive,” the astrologer warns.

Elena Topolskaya also added that the most vulnerable sign of the year is Horse . She not only comes into conflict with the owner of the year, the Rat, but is also under the influence of the Star of Diseases 2 and Three Sha (3 types of losses: money, relationships, reputation), those born in the year of the Horse need to be very careful.

Rabbits are under the influence of the 5, so it is important to refrain from risks and heavy loads.

Rats are recommended to show more tact and compliance. Even though it is their year, avoid conflicts.

Ba Zi Pillar Yin Water on Goat 癸未

Day! Yin Water Pillar on Goat – Swamp Full of Life

For beginners: how to determine your Day Pillar in the BaZi chart

Many people associate a swamp with something dangerous, gloomy and creepy. But in fact, many surprises are hidden under the thickness of the muddy water. Some people learned to drain swamps in order to productively use the freed land. The day pillar of Yin Water on the Goat also contains something valuable - something that is not revealed to everyone. And the combination of Yin Water and Yin Earth speaks of the emotional attachment of such individuals to people and surrounding things. Among all 10 elements in Yin Water, Yin energy is the most dominant. Such people tend to show emotions openly. They can be compared to clouds that subtly sense the direction of the wind and instantly react to it. Often people with such a character adapt to the mood of those around them. Sometimes they seem unpredictable, and their actions seem reckless. However, these are very soft and subtle natures. They show care even in cases when this is not expected of them. That is why they make excellent parents, educators and teachers.

What is hidden in the Goat

Wei (Goat) brings 3 types of Qi energy into the analysis of the Water Yin pillar on the Goat: Earth Yin (Killer in the 7th Position), Fire Yin (Indirect Wealth) and Wood Yin (Spirit of Pleasure). The main charge of energy is carried by the 7th Killer, and therefore such people seem quiet only at first glance - just like the swamp, they can be very dangerous if you behave inappropriately with them. Water and sand often create quicksand, which can only be noticed when it is too late. People with such a character are courageous and ready to face the challenges of fate; like thunderclouds during a storm, they are ready to wash away everything in their path.

Indirect Wealth allows them to notice all opportunities that arise. And they have the patience needed to wait for the right moment to use them. This makes them excellent educators. They can teach children not to focus on current adversities and to be confident in the future.

The main element holding back the storm is the Spirit of Pleasure. It controls the unstable energy of the 7th Killer, which allows people with a similar type of character to replay in their heads the consequences of a possible outburst of emotions and weigh all their actions.

Relationships are expected to be challenging for both men and women as the stars Murderer in 7th Position (lover) and Indirect Wealth (mistress) are in their natural state. Yin water rejects the very idea of ​​stability.

“I love my Horse, the Ox and I are not friends at all,” part of the Goat from the Ba Zi card

Wei (Goat) in combination with Wu (Horse) even more strongly attracts Indirect Wealth (Yin Fire) and the 7th Assassin (Yin Earth). This significantly increases the desire to be free. Girls with such a character are not looking for serious and long-term relationships. Perhaps someone will consider this a plus. (But try not to abuse their trust!)

Wei, in the fight against Chou (Bull), rejects the stars of the 7th Assassin (Yin Earth), Brotherhood (Yin Water) and Oblique Seal (Yin Metal). This makes women a little more confrontational. They try to avoid even relationships as mistresses. And the absence of Brotherhood and Resource stars indicates that they do not need help and support. They are ready to deal with everything on their own.

Result:

In general, in Ba Zi, people of the day pillar Yin Water on Goat are sensual individuals. They prefer to keep their anger inside themselves. They are able to endure a lot, as long as those close to them do not suffer. They care about those around them and try to protect them from mistakes. Sometimes it hits them themselves if they don’t have a channel to throw out their feelings and pour out love. They usually make good writers (Spirit of Pleasure). With creative foresight (Propensity for Wealth). Capable of giving practical advice (Killer in 7th Position).

Question:

So what is next??? How to find out what is hidden in the other pillars - after all, there is still a year, a month and an hour!!!

The remaining pillars are considered in relation to the day pillar. We no longer look at exactly what Elements are there, but look at what they are in relation to the Lord of the Day. Details on the main page:

Friendly and unfriendly years of the eastern horoscope

In astrology, there are friendly and unfriendly years of the eastern horoscope.

Friendly, that is, well correlated with each other, include the years of the following triplets:

1. Years of the Rooster, Bull and Snake.
2. Years of the Tiger, Dog and Horse.
3. Years of the Hare, Goat and Boar.
4. Years of the Monkey, Rat and Dragon.

These are the four best teams (groups). By joining their efforts, people from each of these

teams achieve good results in business and friendly relationships. Marriages concluded between people belonging to the same group, as a rule, also turn out to be very successful.

The relationships between these four groups are of two types:

The Rooster, Bull and Snake always oppose the Hare, Goat and Boar; Tigers, Dogs and Horses oppose Monkey, Rat and Dragon.

Neutral relationships develop between the Rooster, Bull and Snake, on the one hand, and the Tiger, Dog and Horse, on the other;

Rooster, Bull and Snake, on the one hand, and Monkey, Rat and Dragon, on the other;

Hare, Goat and Boar, on the one hand, and Tiger, Dog and Horse, on the other;

Hare, Goat and Boar, on the one hand, and Monkey, Rat and Dragon, on the other.

And yet, despite the above-mentioned features of the relationship between different years of the “eastern” horoscope, it is impossible to draw unambiguous and far-reaching conclusions regarding the fact that relationships between specific people will develop in the same “statistically average” way.

Talismans according to the Chinese horoscope

In the eastern horoscope, different talismans (magical images) are assigned to the years of different elements. Many astrologers believe that it is best to choose people who have the same talisman as yours as business partners.

Talismans of the eastern horoscope: Talismans of the elements

The fact is that each element is, among other things, certain features of a person’s attitude to life, which differ markedly from person to person.

Talismans for signs of the element Wood

The element of wood suggests that a person born in this year will highly value the breadth of the horizon - his life’s work should branch and grow.

At the same time, it must have deep roots, that is, it must be based on traditional, generally recognized foundations. In addition, it must necessarily bring valuable results - empty experiments are rejected by such people.

The Dragon talisman, which is given to reign in all three worlds: in the world of thoughts (in the sky), in the world of affairs (on earth) and in traditions (in the underworld) reminds us of all this.

Talismans for signs of the element Fire

Fire is a symbol of activity and enthusiasm, but at the same time it often means selfishness, so people of the element of fire, in their unrestrained impulses, are sometimes ready to literally burn everything in their path.

Belonging to the element of Fire suggests that a person of this year of birth is characterized by a variety of creative plans and a strong heat of the soul, which will be difficult for people with “cooler” feelings to reconcile with.

The Peacock talisman reminds us of this. Against the background of this amazing bird with a nasty voice and magnificent plumage, people of other elements may seem colorless and lethargic.

Talismans for signs of the element Earth

The element of earth can mean both caring and altruism (analogue of Mother Earth and Earth-nurse), and spinelessness - impassable dirt.

Sometimes the element of earth is expressed as callousness or excessive enthusiasm for purely earthly, material values.

The talisman, the Image of a Man, reminds us of all this.

Talismans for signs of the element Metal

Metal is distinguished, first of all, by such qualities as willpower and the ability to withstand any blows of fate. Its characteristic properties are strength, elasticity, sharpness and precision.

The Tiger talisman reminds us of this with its cat-like agility and elasticity, its unmistakably accurate jumps and its ability to hide in ambush if necessary.

Talismans for signs of the element Water

Water has the ability to penetrate into all cracks and saturate all pores, it dissolves and mixes everything;

Liquids are able to take the shape of the vessels into which they are poured, and, in relation to people of the element of water, this indicates the ability to adapt to external conditions without changing their essence at all.

People of the water element reliably protect their inner world from any external influences. The Turtle mascot reminds us of this.

Yanskaya Zemlya

The nature of the Wu man is like mountains, rocks and hills - all those features of the earth's landscape that remain motionless for many centuries. The people of the Yang Earth are reliable, stable, internally stable. They do not need praise for their achievements, are self-confident, self-reliant, independent and have a strong moral compass. Friendly, caring, avoid conflicts. They are lenient towards the mistakes of others, know how to forgive and inspire confidence in others. However, Wu people often keep their feelings to themselves, which can make it difficult to connect with them. They usually plan their actions for a long time and carefully. Their negative traits may be the ability to change their minds for the sake of the needs of others, weakness of will and illogical, irrational behavior in difficult situations.

Combined with the yang earthly branches, the Wu heavenly trunk forms the completely yang pillars of Wu Zi, Wu Yin, Wu Chen, Wu Wu, Wu Shen and Wu Xu.

Wu Zi, Yang Earth on the Rat

The image of the Wu Zi pillar is of mountains covered in fog. People born under it are usually gifted, have good character, a sharp mind and are able to solve complex problems. They are careful, persistent, see their goal and do not give up without a fight. They understand well what they need, are able to give good advice, value their reputation and lead an active life.

Wu Zis are attractive in appearance, but may have low self-esteem, causing them to appear either timid or mysterious. In fact, they often suffer from internal conflicts and seek balance within themselves. At the same time, they remain a reliable support for loved ones—family members and friends can rely on them, although the Wu Zi themselves cannot always find the support they need.

They strive for knowledge and new information. They are very practical: for them, a bird in the hands is better than a pie in the sky. Ambitious and stubborn, they concentrate on the goal and can be very productive on the way to it. Their views are strong, they can become bright leaders. If Wu Zi faces severe trials, they show themselves to be humble, sacrificial and selfless individuals - they adapt to the circumstances and continue to fight.

Wu Yin, Yang Earth on the Tigris

The image of this pillar is amazingly beautiful - a high mountain covered with greenery. People born on the day of Wu Yin are usually tall, beautiful in appearance, smart, strong, and outwardly calm. They value ethical standards, are strong-willed, have self-control, and strive for excellence.

Wu Yin are always full of different ideas, have a good sense of humor and are looking for new experiences. It is important for them to avoid boredom, but from time to time they need solitude, which creates an aura of some mystery around them.

Wu Yin people have been distinguished by independence since childhood. They are naturally physically strong, and often remain in good health into old age due to their calm nature, balance and intelligence, although some Wu Yin can still be excitable, authoritarian and overly stubborn.

It happens that people of this pillar worry too much about money, because... love comfort and beautiful things. It is extremely important for them to plan their actions in detail.

Wu Chen, Yang Earth on Dragon

The image of the Wu Chen pillar is a mountain on a mountain. People born on such a day are calm, conservative, peace-loving, smart and kind. They are practical, resourceful, hardworking, assertive, but often stubborn. They know how to plan and set specific goals. They have strategic thinking, intuition, are able to consider a situation from different angles, and are objective in their assessments.

Wu Chen are sociable and charismatic. They strive to understand the world and themselves, respect laws and rules. Humor and irony help them maintain internal balance, and dynamism, curiosity and receptivity move them forward. They don’t just want well-being—they strive for absolute financial freedom. However, some Wu Chens do not see their enormous potential. It happens that they rush around and cannot decide whether to remain part of the team or become its leader. Leading a team, they inspire the team, care about those around them, and around them everyone feels valuable to the common cause. However, if Wu Chen begins to use their abilities to manipulate and gain power, they will make things worse for themselves.

Wu Wu, Yang Earth on a Horse

This pillar is like a volcano, and the character of the people born under it largely corresponds to the image. They are good looking, erudite, intelligent, creative, stubborn and reserved. However, if emotions take over, then conflict is almost inevitable, and the person becomes unpredictable.

Yang Fire endows them with kindness, responsiveness, altruism and the ability to sacrifice the personal for the common good. They are disciplined and respected among friends and colleagues. Wu Wu people are capable of being strong leaders. Their will and perfectionism support authority and keep their subordinates and opponents in constant good shape. They are persistent and independent. They are confident that they are in complete control of their lives and that they can achieve everything themselves. This usually happens if they can organize themselves and do not waste their energy. They know their desire to dominate and doubt their partners for a long time. Earning their trust is not easy, but those they trust will be treasured by Wu Wu for the rest of their lives.

Wu Shen, Yan Land on Monkey

The image of this pillar is a rocky mountain rich in minerals. People born on the day of Wu Shen are usually the most talented of all Wu, and many of their talents may be hidden for the time being from themselves and those around them. They are smart, charismatic, sociable, artistic. Curious, capable of learning, science, and research. They are often taciturn, but their voice and speech are usually beautiful and expressive.

Many Wu Shen are involved in sports and martial arts. Internal discipline is combined with sincerity and empathy. They are true to their ideals, loyal to their friends, have an internal moral code and value their environment. They are attentive, responsive, understand people and are ready to help. Generous and thrifty at the same time. Some of them are emotional, but if a quarrel occurs, after it they always strive to restore peace and smooth relationships. They love changing places, traveling and new experiences. They strive for changes in life, but if they show impatience and fuss, they can harm themselves.

They can be reckless, and then they will have to overcome difficulties in which their full potential will be revealed. Friends and colleagues appreciate their inner qualities. People like their warmth, sincerity and ability to maintain youth of soul and emotions.

Wu Xu, Yang Earth on a Dog

The image of this pillar is a rocky mountain with sharp edges, impregnable in appearance. People born on the day of Wu Xu are smart, conservative, straightforward, harsh, and sometimes aggressive. They are often distinguished by toughness, vindictiveness and a tendency to compete. They never make concessions, do not shy away from conflicts, are not afraid of aggravations and stand their ground to the last. Most of them are loners, but they know how to make friends. With friends they are generous, selfless and altruistic. When surrounded by those they trust, they relax, become peaceful and diplomatic.

Wu Xu are smart, strong, independent, creative. A restless spirit constantly drives them forward. Even outwardly, they stand out among others with their dynamism and mobility. They strive for action, react quickly, and their confidence attracts other people. They are critical of everything, but they themselves are vulnerable to criticism. Able to solve problems logically faster than others.

Wu Xu's people are ambitious and skeptical. They analyze both their own and others’ experiences. To achieve results, they do not do more than is necessary, but always achieve what they want. They care about appearance, comfort, luxury and beauty. For all their toughness, the Wu Xu value love and have a strong inner desire to help others.

The Legend of Buddha and the 12 Animals of the Chinese Horoscope

The origin of the Chinese animal horoscope is described in many ancient legends, but the most popular of them are two. And here is the first of them, the most common.

One day, Buddha invited all the animals to his birthday party (depending on the interpretation, it is also about celebrating the New Year, a feast, and the day of Buddha’s departure from this world).

But only 12 animals came: due to the cold season, not all were able to cross the wide river. Buddha gave each animal, in the order in which they came to him, one year of management.
