I know what you're thinking...
What does this have to do with numbers? What does Chinese astrology have to do with anything?
Well allow me to answer this for all of you and prove without a shadow of doubt that Chinese astrology is a valid system and can be used alongside with numerology. Before I begin, I want to make clear that the purpose of this is not to do historical analysis of the events I discuss, rather the sole purpose is to prove the legitimacy of the Chinese astrology system.
Now what exactly can this system be used for? Well here are the two main things that I will discuss in this article.
- Predict whether two people will get along or whether they will fight.
- Predict how well a person or business will do in a particular year.
I will structure this article in two separate parts :
- How to determine your Chinese animal sign and which signs get along/fight.
- Provide real-life examples of these systems working.
Now let's get to the point.
The first step is to figure out what animal sign that you fall into. This is very simple... Just head on over to:
http://www.chinesezodiac.com/calculator.php
Great! Now that you know your animal sign, let's get started.
As you probably noticed, there are 12 different possible signs. Let me list them out in order, since it is pretty important.
- Rat
- Ox
- Tiger
- Cat (More commonly known as the Rabbit, but this sign exhibits the behavior of a Cat more)
- Dragon
- Snake
- Horse
- Sheep (Also known as the Goat)
- Monkey
- Rooster
- Dog
- Pig
Now why is the order important? Let me explain...
Each sign has what is called a trine and an enemy sign. I am going to start off by explaining what a trine is...
There are four different trines in the Chinese astrology system. A trine fittingly consists of three compatible signs. By compatible, I mean that the signs in a trine together will get along 95% of the time. Not only this, but if you are in a Chinese year that is in your trine, it will be a good year 95% of the time as well. What about the other 5%? Well there are more factors that go into it all, but I will get into that in a different article.
Now for the opposite of a trine, an enemy sign...
The good news is that each sign only has one enemy sign! The bad news is that you will not get along with people who are born in your enemy sign's year 95% of the time (as you can tell, I like this number a lot). Also you are not going to have a good year during your enemy year.
Now if you are confused, just be patient and I will make it more clear.
How can you find your trine and enemy sign?
Well the answer is pretty simple...To find your trine, all you do is add 4 to the number of your trine and find the corresponding animal sign, and do that once more starting from the last animal sign you found. If your number exceeds 12, then subtract it by 12. Here is an example:
Let's say you are born in the year of the Snake, which is listed as the 6th sign. To find the first animal in your trine, add 4. So 6+4=10, and the 10th sign corresponds to the Rooster. Now we do this once more, so 10+4=14, which is greater than 12, so 14-12=2, and the 2nd sign is the Ox. Therefore the Snake's trine consists of the Rooster,Ox, and Snake.
To find your enemy sign it is even easier. All you have to do is add 6 to the number of your animal sign. For example:
If I am born in the year of the Dragon, which is the 5th sign, then I add 5+6=11, and the 11th sign is the Dog. My enemy sign would be the Dog in this case.
So simply putting, you get along with people born in the years of your trine and do not get along with people born under your enemy sign.
Let me put my word on the line and give you real world examples of people having troubles with their enemy sign!
