Chinese Astrology

Chinese civilization is perhaps one of the most ancient civilizations ever existed to have devised their own methods of predicting the future. The Chinese have preserved their wisdom and cultures from centuries. And perhaps the most important and fascinating thing is the ancient Chinese astrology which dates back much further than the current western astrology. Although a good amount of ancient western wisdom has been lost, the Chinese wisdom is available in many forms even today.

There is a very basic difference between the western and Chinese astrology. The western astrology tends to analyze on the character of an individual and not on his future. The Chinese astrology on the other hand, emphasizes on an individual's life and predicts what might happen to him in the near future. The Chinese follow the Feng Shui, which is indirectly linked with Chinese astrology. It states that by choosing specific locations of house or furniture, or using wind chimes or placing nine fish in a bowl, you can cure the effect of inauspicious stars that affect you.

The Four Pillars of Destiny
The Four Pillars of Destiny were generated by pairing up an Earthy Branch and a Heavenly Stem. For example, the year 2005 has the pairing up of the Yin Wood Heavenly Stem with the Earthy Branch of the Rooster, which is why it is called the Yin Wood Rooster Year. Therefore, anyone born in the year 2005 will have their year pillar as the Wood Rooster.

Yin Yang Horoscope
The ancient Yin Yang horoscope is a combination of the Solar sign astrology with a rather disturbing directness, which makes it both entertaining and quite capable of predictions. It is known as the Pa Kua or the 8 signs. These are the basic building blocks, each consisting of a unique combination of the feminine Yin and the masculine Yang.
