Chinese Calendar discussion

lol =D U are branching into different types of horoscope huh?? When will the next one based on taro cards come?? haha =D Well, i'm in the same year as u too.. As i'm a chinese, it's natural that i believe more in chinese astrology as compared to horoscope.. However, somehow or other, i dun read much into chinese astrology because it's often more for the whole year in general.. Unlike horoscope, it's broken down into weeks and months etc.. hehe ^_^

I love reading western and chinese astrology, especially when they say that its a lucky year for me or whatsover. It kinda give me hope when I am down. I was born 1981 which makes me rooster but since it's january, I'm still under year of the monkey. It's quite difficult for me because I have mixed rooster and monkey attitudes so I both read what they are saying about the 2 years.

Hey Jhordie, I was born in 1988 that is the Year of the Dragon. I prefer typical horoscopes more than Chinese ones. The Chinese calendar puts everyone born in a year into the same category and say they all have the same attributes. I think that is not correct as people born in a year can have different attributes and characteristics.

If we follow my birth year, 1990, it falls under the Year of the Horse. But if we strictly follow the Chinese Calendar, according to my Chinese friends, I fall in the year of the Snake because I am a January baby. Actually, I am not really fond of Astrology and Horoscope. I don't read much of them. However, I am not against of the belief on Astrology or Horoscope. It may help you but you just don't have to believe everything written in it.

I'm a monkey, so is my 2nd daughter. I guess that's why we can't sit still! LOL. I prefer the Chinese Calendar as it isn't psychology based. It is actually based on statistics.

I am a rat in chinese astrology. I am reading about rat and the compatible animals of my chinese sign. Because there are elements, in chinese astrology, i look up what is my element so that i can know more accurate reading of my year. I am a wood rat. The year has animal equaivalent, the month and the day. ( Try to look up again, what is that) I fogot my month and day animal, and that has explaination about you too, not only the year of birth.

I was born on the year of the rat and that is supposed to be good under the Chinese calendar. LOL I'm not really sure why though. I read somewhere that in the race to the temple, the rat came in first so supposedly, people who are born under the year of the rat are winners. I hope so. LOL

firstly, i'm born in the year of rabbit. the characteristics of a rabbit includes being a private person and introvert. rabbits likes to work behind the scene and do not crave attention. i feel that this describes me more than my other horoscope. i'm a cusp i.e. born between two star signs. it's rather difficult to tell which sign i belong to as i have more of a leo personality but some of virgo's too. also, the stars moved early in the year i'm born so i'm technically a virgo. it's too confusing for me so i just stuck to my chinese horoscope. cheers

This is a really good discussion,and I recently responded to your discussion on horoscopes,and I am sure that a lot of people have opinions when it comes to Astrology,I am sure there are probably a lot of people who believe in Astrology and follow it without question,and then I am sure some people do not believe in Astrology but still read it just for the fun of it,and I can understand that everyone believes different things,and we have to respect everyones beliefs and opinions,when it comes to me I do not know much about the Chinese Calender,and I had to look it up just to know I was born in the year of the Ox,so you can tell I do not follow the Chinese Calender because I do not think it is something that you should put your heart into,and as I told you on your other discussion,I read my horoscope from time to time,but I do not buy into that either,so I guess you could say I prefer neither of them because they are just not something I find important,I believe in God,and I think that his will is in the Bible and that is what we should follow,and believe in,but that is just me,have a great day,good luck with your life, and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

Hi Jhordie, I enjoy reading Chinese and Western astrology, regarding my animal sign and star. Just for the fun of it - to see what the experts predict for millions (?) of people sharing the same animal sign and star as me. I don't take this seriously; how could so many people be having the same fortunes or misfortunes?

I was born in the year of the monkey which explains my utter craziness!! Horoscope wise that would be cancer.. but I don't believe in either of them.. I just think its just a bunch of bull designed to give u a laugh...which sometimes are really funny and sometimes are very annoying..

Hi..i'm born in the year of rat. Basically i think i'll prefer horoscope than chinese calendar thing. This is because i think the chinese calender is more general that it views the person's characteristics and do prediction on a year, of everyone in that year, and so it's no specific enough. Whereas the horoscopes view everyone's personalities from month to month, and i think this will be more precise. However, normally i'll just take all these as reference and do not take it very seriously. I read both chinese calendar fortune telling as well as my horoscope prediction. Some of it can be quite accurate while some are not. I know, this is common. :)

I was born in the year of the TIGER ... even i read n enojoy more chinease zodiac then that typical one ... watever the quality they desribes of tiger i have them almost all ... but that true that i don't rely on that as many ppl doing these days ... they just spend their life according to the zodiac sign n plan their works according to them by this they r just leaving discussions of their life on those astrologers who r just filling their pockets by playing with minds of many ppl ... i really hate all this ... Do belive on ur ownself n we should trust our CREATOR our GOD !

I was born in the year of sheep... Although I live in CHINA, I prefer to believe the horoscope. and I wanna say, my peers prefer to believe the horoscope. only the adults ,especially over thirty, prefer to this Chinese thing. We don`t why,but, we just think that horoscope is more interesting and believable.

I am told I was born in the Year of the Pig too. So, I keep reading Chinese astrology predictions for the Pig every day. Very interesting !

HI, I born on June 12 and the years of Rat. As far as I know, if someone born in the month of June is very intelligent person, kind, easy to get along, and very cool thinking, also there are two people in your head (twin). these are fit in my category. My religion would believe very strongly on who you will marry to. they will ask for your date and month of your birth and will compare those two together. If you two against each other then the parents would never marry yous at all. for example, I always get alone with most animals (when you go to chinese restaurant and sometimes they provide you with table mat with full of those years of animals, and they will tell you who you are against to and who you can get along with) for me, I get along with many kinds, but a few will not get along. another thing, I can't marry who has the same sign like me (rat like me) I think they believe, you can't make a living or your life is not wealthy. I sometime believe and sometimes don't but I born and raise in this religion so I can say that I still take this seriously for 50%

i guess im just a horse...but i only find this fun to read when i go to a Chinese restaurant. it is interesting, but i definitely like astrology more than the Chinese horoscope.

I am so glad so many people believe in Chinese Astrology, cos i'm a Chinese. I was born in 4th, July,1982 in Chinese calendar, in the year of dog. and my horoscope is Virgo. I think i'm more fit as the dog Astrology says. cos i'm a little conservative and very easy-going just like dog. Maybe someone fit as the horoscope more,lot. Anyway, they are both very mysterious, and contain a lot sense, do you think so?

I have to say, I don't really believe in Astrology, but I like to look now and again. The Chinese calendar seems to be a lot more accurate personality-wise. I was born in the year of the ox, and my boyfriend is the pig. Although my best friend keeps claiming he's the dragon, he's really the rabbit. Ha!

I just had a birthday on June 6th, I was born in the year of the rooster. I looked it up on my birthday, and it actually seemed to be a pretty accurate description, gemini and rooster both seem to fit me very well.
