The Y e a r Of The R a t
Chinese Astrology - 2008 | eso-garden.com The Chinese calendar is a calendar based on the moon phase and the season of the solar year incorporating elements of a lunar calendar with those of a solar calendar. In modern day China, the solar or Gregorian calendar is used for most day to day activities, but the Chinese calendar is still used for marking traditional Chinese holidays such as Chinese New Year, Duan Wu festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in Chinese Astrology, such as choosing the most auspicious date for the opening of a business or setting a wedding date. Legend has it that in ancient times, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one. He announced that the people born in each animal's year would have some of that animal's personality. Those born in rat years tend to be leaders, pioneers, and conquerors. They are charming, passionate, charismatic, practical and hardworking.
