People consider Chinese astrology as an art. The idea of Chinese astrology is to aid people achieve their objectives via consciousness and continuous development of the mind and soul. Like western astrology, the Chinese astrology system is used to determine a person's health, career direction, likes and dislikes, compatibility with other person, luck attraction and a lot more . Chinese astrology is created of a 12 year cycle and has 12 animals to reveal every year, they are better called as the Chinese Zodiacs. They are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep (or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and pig, arranged always in this order. The exact begining of the twelve animal systems remain unknown. But there was a legend about it, here is the legend: the Jade King was bored, and was not doing anything in Heaven. He did not know what was happening on Earth, as he had servants filling his each want. He concluded that he wished to see some animals on the Earth and thus he sent his advisors to get 12 animals for him. The advisor primarisly sent an request to the Rat, asking him to even get the cat, because the Rat was jealous he evaded the cat from letting know the news. Other invitations were sent to the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Ram, the Monkey, the Rooster and the Dog, asking for their attendance the following day. They queued in front of the king, and then he saw that they were just eleven, than twelve that he wished. Thus the Jade king wanted the 12th animal from earth so he asked his advisor to get it. The servant ran into a man carrying a Pig, and grabbed| it and sent it to the king. The animals stood in front of the king in no particular order. The Rat, being smaller than the remaining, jumped on the Ox's back and continued to play the flute. The king was very impressed by the Rat's show. He gave the Rat primary place. Second place was given to the Ox for its good sportsmanship, and third was given to the Tiger, who appeared so strong. The forth place was for the Rabbit, the Dragon took the fifth position, The sixth place was fro Snake, the seventh for the Horse, the eighth one for the Ram, Monkey stood ninth, tenth was Rooster and eleventh was the Dog. By default, and due to the king's just nature, twelfth place went to the Pig. After the ceremony got over, the cat asked the king to revaluate but he denied the cat. Chinese astrology is also composed of 5 elements. These elements were Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, always placed in that order because it is said to be a ongoing process, that is Wood generates Fire; Fire generates Earth; Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, and Water generates Wood, and as it goes back to its beginning. Lastly, the Chinese Astrology is highly influenced by the divine and cosmic power too. This force is called as The Yin and The Yang. The yyin stands for the female whereas the Yang stands for Male. A different explanation claims that the Ying symbolizes the Evil and the Yang symbolizes the Good. When properly joint the Ying and Yang produce collective harmony and perpetual balance. The combination of Yin and Yang is the veiled power in the wake of the Chinese Horoscope system. Chinese astrologers are not strict determinists. They don't believe a person's fate is already given accurately at the time he or she was born. However, they do believe in the philosophy that the time and the birth place set the limits of a person's freedom and liberty. What happens in these limits is influenced not just by own selection also by external issues like locality, monetary conditions and the like.
