The subject of late seems to be the upcoming Chinese New Year. Everyone knows about the 12 Chinese zodiac animals….here’s what each of our family’s animal signs can expect for the next 12 months.
According to the Chinese horoscope for 2023, the Year of the Rabbit, will be a good time for all the zodiac animal signs and an extremely lucky year for some of them… here’s ours.
Tigers (Me) — Tiger’s overall fortune is on the rise compared to 2022, and they are said to be “destined to be very comfortable in life and work.” Overall, Tiger’s horoscope is good, but there are going to be “some twists and turns in the process.” Tiger people are encouraged to learn useful lessons from failures, and be the calm in difficult situations to avoid strife.
Dogs (Claire) — Those born in the Chinese zodiac year of the Dog is set to experience more decline in health and wealth — so pay more attention to these areas over the next 12 months. In work and love, Dogs are advised to do their “own thing in a down-to-earth manner” so overall prospects gradually become smoother.
I mentioned that this year is the Year of the Rabbit, specifically the Water Rabbit. Water is one of the five elements….
The Five Elements Theory is a Chinese philosophy used to outline the relationships of everything in the universe between which interactions can occur. The five elements — wood, fire, earth, metal and water — are believed to be the fundamental elements of all these things.
The cycle of the five elements runs in a specific order and can be remembered by noting the different processes of creation and destruction that precede them.
The Five Elements Theory asserts that the world changes according to the five elements generating or overcoming relationships. Generating and overcoming are the complementary processes — the yin and yang — of The Five Elements Theory.
Generating processes promote development, while overcoming processes control development. By promoting and restraining, systems are harmonized and balance is maintained.
Every year is associated with an element. To figure out which element is associated with your birth year, look at the last number of your birth year. For example, 2023 is the water element, so those born in that year are Water Rabbits.
Your year of birth determines your zodiac animal, and the last number of your year of birth determines your element. If the year of your birth ends in a 0 or 1, your element is metal, if it ends in a 2 or 3, your element is water, if your birth year ends in a 4 or 5, your element is wood, if it ends in 6 or 7, your element is fire and if you were born in a year that ends in an 8 or 9, your element is Earth.
But no matter what your zodiac sign or your element, this year the Chinese horoscope predicts you’re going to have a pretty good year….
