Some say that the Chinese astrology dates back over 2,000 years. Like Western astrology are looking for (which originated in Babylon), he studied Chinese astrology for the human personality, behavior, relationships and luck, to explain the sky. Just as Western astrology the sky is divided into twelve segments. The Chinese zodiac consists of twelve animals correspond to certain personality traits. These animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, lamb (sheep,occasional goat or sheep), monkey, rooster, dog and pig (or boar). Each of these animals would hold meaning for people born this year, running on a 12-year cycle.
According to Chinese legend, the selection of these animals was determined by Buddha. Once all the animals were invited to feast at the end New Year and Buddha came only these twelve animals. The Chinese New Year Calendar observed on a different date from that (Julian) Western calendar frequentlyused in the United States, with the Chinese New Year occurs in mid-January to mid February for the cycles of the moon. Buddha gave each animal to the government his party's Eve on his own years in a cycle of rotation, the assignment of the features that the animal was born in this animal all year. People in the "Year of the Dragon" was born to be energetic, imaginative, and strong leader, if sometimes demanding and selfish.
In another popularThe legend was a contest held to determine the order of the zodiac. It is said that the race to cross the river on the ox and then jumping back before reaching the other side won. The Jade Emperor (Heavenly Grandfather) was very curious to know why a strong, non-flying creature as the dragon with his first goal. The dragon said, he had to do during a flight over the land, has ceased to arouse the people and creatures of the earth, and was then arrested.
Of all thetwelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac, it's just like an "imaginary" or dragon "mythical." It 'strange that a creature should be so different from everyone else. Some people have this special exception and say that this is proof that dragons once existed and were a part of the natural world when the first observers were trying to explore the universe in what was developing the Chinese astrology is explained.
The last "Year of the Dragon" was (not completely) with the2000, will be the next 2012th
