The eastern calendar, based on 12 animals, was invented by the ancient Chinese. It arose three thousand years ago, long before the advent of European astrology. But only quite recently in the Western world has it become popular to determine the character and destiny of a person by the year in which he was born. The eastern horoscope has seriously competed with the zodiac system, which is built on the cyclical monthly dominance of signs.
Tiger and Rabbit
When the chimes strike, we all wait happy life, joyful, new. The year according to the Eastern calendar does not have a fixed beginning. Therefore, people who were born in January and February should take this into account if they want to determine their year of birth.
People born during the “striped” year according to the eastern calendar are courageous and purposeful. Tigers are noble individuals, leaders and patriots. The main thing for them is freedom, honor and the fight for justice.
Rabbits are hard workers. They are realists with a sober mind and calculation. They go through life quietly but confidently.
Dragon and Snake
If the foundation of the zodiac horoscope is the movements and trajectories of the stars, planets and the Sun, then the yearly calendar of the eastern horoscope is based on the phases of the moon.
Those who were lucky enough to be born during the “dragon” year according to the eastern calendar are influential, successful, and easy-going. They are the darlings of fate, often achieving all their goals.
Snakes are real thinkers with developed logic, versatile talents and subtle intuition. They are ambitious from birth, have the gift of magnetism and suggestion. They easily read information from people.
Horse and Goat
Twelve-year cycles form the horoscope. January or February marks the beginning of each year according to the Eastern calendar. The table below shows the reigns of the Horse and the Goat. Even though both are classified as pets, they are very different.
Horses are talented, smart, and know their worth. They do not depend on the opinions of others and always act at their own discretion. Self-sufficient and strong natures.
Goats love to travel. But after each distant foray, they invariably return to their homeland, as they value home. They have a superficial attitude towards life, do not like problems, and can be ambivalent and capricious.
Monkey and Rooster
The Chinese emperor did not trust the development of a horoscope to astrologers, so he solely controlled the cycles: the beginning and end of each year according to the eastern calendar, the process of compiling and deciphering them.
Monkeys are selfish and treacherous. They have an analytical mind and developed logic. Eccentric and temperamental, but at the same time the most unreliable and superficial people.
Roosters are terrible conservatives. They work a lot and hard to provide for themselves and their families. Active individuals who rely only on their own strength.
Dog and Pig
The ruler of the Celestial Empire solemnly announced which year according to the eastern calendar came into its own. People celebrated this event for several days, had fun and relaxed.
Dogs are always straightforward, smart, and intelligent. They are deep and sensitive natures, often ironic. Hardworking philosophers. Pessimists who hate crowds and mass gatherings.
Pigs are decent people. Avoid conflicts. They have many talents. They always know what they want and confidently go towards the goal. Noble and realistic. They will always have money and work.
Rat and Ox
In China, even a marriage cannot be concluded until the parents tell each other the newlyweds’ birth dates, especially what year they are according to the Eastern calendar. The table below is the last in our calculation of cyclic periods.
Rats are pedants. They are careful in life and attentive to all the little things. They are difficult to break. Excellent business partners. Smart. They sense impending troubles, so they easily avoid them.
Those born during the “horned” year according to the eastern calendar are hardy and strong people. Bulls are laconic and have amazing energy. Too down to earth. They always go ahead towards their dreams.
2015, 2016, 2017
The eastern animal calendar by year suggests that the blue wooden Goat now dominates. Based on this, we can say that 2015 is a calm and balanced year. No sharp ups and downs are expected, but if you decide to start a new business, you will definitely receive the desired support. The goat is good-natured, so it always lends a helping hand. People born in 2015 will become extraordinary and sociable individuals.

2019 is full of surprises and pleasant troubles. The Pig dominates, from which you can expect financial prosperity and complete well-being. good time for businessmen, bankers, farmers. The babies that will be born will be optimistic, cautious and reasonable individuals. They are born public figures, volunteers and missionaries.
The eastern animal calendar promises happiness by year in 2020. This period belongs to the metal Rat, which brings good luck to writers, art critics, and artists. Money flows like a river, but this is the last stage of possible material wealth, after which a long period of poverty and loss is expected. Born children are hard and tough. They know what they want and take full advantage of life. They will be able to prove themselves in show business, journalism, and any creative profession.
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.
In accordance with lunar calendar, which is taken as a basis in 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 with the Rat of the wood element and will end in 2044 with the 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 each person’s spiritual needs, style of expression and ways of interacting with others and the world as a whole.
Elements of the Chinese horoscope
Each element gives the sign special qualities, each element has its own color. Fire Release– this is the color red and the qualities of courage and selfishness, invention and curiosity. Earth Element– this is yellow (brown) color and the qualities of practicality and passivity, as well as reliability and sensuality. Metal Element– is the color white and the qualities of originality and willpower, kindness, determination and intelligence. Water Element– is the color black and the qualities of intuition and creativity, dynamism and sociability. Wood Element– this is the green (blue) color and the qualities of individualism, compassion and inertia. The emotions of the elements are defined as follows: fire is joy; the earth is reflection; metal is rage and passion; water is fears; the tree is sadness.
The principles of yin and yang
In addition to the elements, every animal eastern zodiac expresses the masculine principle Ian or feminine principle Yin. 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.

1. Rat, Dragon and Monkey are open signs
2. Ox, Snake and Rooster are closed signs

In order to find out your characteristics according to your zodiac sign and year of birth, you must first determine your animal, in the year of which you were born according to the Eastern horoscope:
There is an astrological Western calendar, which is called the Zodiac and years of birth according to the Eastern calendar. These are different calendars and different signs.
The zodiac horoscope is divided into twelve months, each sign has its own constellation, its patron planet or celestial body and its own element (air, water, earth or fire). The zodiac horoscope begins with the spring solstice and the sign Aries.
The Eastern or Chinese calendar by year of birth also consists of twelve cycles (signs). This calendar is sometimes called the Chinese Zodiac by analogy with the Western astrological calendar, which is not entirely correct.
The Chinese calendar is divided into years, each year has its own animal. This twelve-year cycle is called the Earthly Branches. New Year According to the eastern calendar, it begins on the day of the second new moon after the winter solstice, so it usually begins at the end of January or February. This must be taken into account when determining your year of birth according to the Chinese horoscope.
It is easy to determine which animal corresponds to the year of birth: it is enough, based on the table, to add or subtract a number that is a multiple of 12.
In addition, in the Chinese calendar there is such a thing as Heavenly Stems. This is a ten-year cycle of changing natural elements (elements): water, wood, fire, earth, metal. Each element has its own color, so we have a habit of giving years a color name (year of the yellow dog, year of the green goat, etc.). Although it would be more correct to name it not by color, but by element. For example, people born in 1975 were born in the year of the wooden Rabbit, people born in 1990 were born in the year of the metal Horse, etc.
One element rules for two years in a row.
Years that end in 0 or 1 (such as 1960 and 1961) are influenced by the metal color that corresponds to white or silver.
Years that end in 2 and 3 are influenced by water, which corresponds to the colors black and blue.
Years ending in 4 and 5 are influenced by the tree, which corresponds to the color green.
Years ending in 6 and 7 are fire years, which correspond to the color red.
Years that end in 8 and 9 are earth years that are ocher or brown.
The table below clearly shows the twelve-year and ten-year cycles Chinese calendar. Water is highlighted in blue, metal is white, fire is red, wood is green, and earth is yellow.
But that’s not all: in the eastern calendar, each animal has its own constant characteristics: its natural element (water, wood, fire, earth or metal), its direction to one of the cardinal directions, its happy hour and its feminine or masculine principle. Feminine is Yin, masculine is Yang.
