Horoscopes have long been commonplace for people all over the world, despite the fact that they take their beginning in the east. Each newspaper prints daily and weekly predictions for the zodiac signs. Many take this seriously and live according to what is written, most perceive everything as a joke or fun. But there is hardly a person who has never heard of the eastern horoscope.
Eastern horoscope
The eastern horoscope has ancient roots. Historians claim that the years according to the signs of the zodiac were distributed more than 3 thousand years ago, and some even believe that they are 1-2 thousand years earlier. It is almost impossible to confirm such a theory, since there is no reliable evidence in the form of documents or any other items.
Basically, everything is connected with the history of China, in which the main magical creature is a dragon. The horoscope includes him as one of the animals, ruling along with others in a 12-year cycle.
In the named ancient country, such calculations are treated carefully and with all severity. Many families do all important things only by consulting with an astrologer and their horoscope.
Legends of the emergence of the eastern horoscope
With the advent of the Chinese or Oriental calendar , many legends are associated. One of them speaks of the Buddha, who before leaving the world decided to say goodbye to all animals. And so he called everyone to himself, but only 12 representatives responded.
The first to visit was Rat, followed by the Bull, Tiger and Rabbit. After them, the Dragon flew to the Buddha, the Snake crawled in, the Horse and the Goat rode up. The last to say goodbye came Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Wild Boar. Buddha thanked everyone and instructed everyone to rule the year on earth in the order in which they came to visit him.
Therefore, in the eastern horoscope there are 12 cycles that are constantly repeated. All years according to the signs of the zodiac corresponds to one of the animals. And each year the cycle has different elements. People born during these periods inherit character traits inherent in the animal that rules at the moment.
In most of the planet, New Year comes on the night of December 31 to January 1. In accordance with the eastern calendar, the years according to the signs of the zodiac correspond to the lunar cycle. Therefore, the first day of a new government begins in different ways - usually it falls on the period from January 21 to February 20.
