Did you know that babies born this year are rats? No, not the scurrying vermin, but the Rat of Chinese horoscopes. 2008 is the Year of the Rat. There is a long history to the Chinese zodiac and it may be surprising, yet it spans over one hundred and eighty years. The beginnings are rooted in mythology and a King who gathered together twelve animals and then assigned them a position in the Chinese zodiac. As followers of some of the best astrology studies in the world, it is an important task to remember the history of the Chinese horoscope and how it works.
The Chinese horoscopes can be a bit confusing. The entire twelve year cycle is based in science and math. In the Western horoscopes, each month has a new zodiac sign. In the Chinese horoscope, each year is a new zodiac sign. To further the confusion, each Chinese zodiac sign is also given an element.
Each Chinese zodiac sign occurs once in a rotation of twelve years. So that means, by the time an individual sign, say for example the Rat, is through its entire elemental cycle it has reached sixty years. Then the cycle starts over again in a never ending pattern of the Great Solar Cycle. It can be very confusing, so do not worry overly about it. Most people only want to know the best astrology sign for their work day or their romantic interest.
It is important to know the animals involved in the Chinese horoscope, as well as their order. It starts off with the Rat. The following animals, in order are: Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram (or Sheep), Monkey, Dog and the Pig. Each zodiac sign is given a spot in the constellations and is religiously followed by some individuals. It is a way of life that many practice religiously by looking up their horoscope daily.
