Discover What 2009 (The Year of The Ox) Will Bring You With a Chinese Astrology Calendar



Chinese astrology is based on the zodiac symbols. It is a 12 year cycle. The Chinese ancestors designed the 12 year cycle based on the original 12 animals. So in Chinese Astrology, every animal is given different characteristics. They believed animals were the most important factor of human life.



The Chinese believed that the animal plays the most important role in one's luck, success and problems. This type of Chinese astrology originated from the Chinese astronomers. They used to call the five major planets using the names of elements. They are classified as Venus - Metal (White Tiger), Jupiter - Wood (Azure Dragon), Mercury - Water (Black Tortoise), Mars - Fire (Vermilion Bird), Saturn - Earth (Yellow Dragon).



They believed that a person's destiny can be determined by the location of the major planets at the person's birth along with the positions of the Sun, Moon and comets and the person's time of birth and Zodiac Sign. The 12 year cycle of animal signs was built taking Jupiter as reference. Following the orbit of Jupiter around the sun, Chinese astronomers divided the celestial circle into 12 sections and rounded it to 12 years. The animals they prescribed for each month are as follows: the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.



The animal sign cow in Chinese Horoscope is a female. I like to say that 2009 is a brown cow year, rather than a brown ox year. I say this because brown is equivalent to Earth in the Chinese Astrology Five Element theory. The major element in Cow is Earth. It's is clear that Earth becomes very strong in 2009.



Earth is the ground under our feet. The ground is very steady. It requires a lot of energy to make it move. This implies the difficulty to make a change in 2009. Earth is the land. Land is related to real estate property. I will say that the major focus in 2009 will be land related issues. Hopefully, the real estate market will become more stable and begin an upswing.



Certainly, it's necessary that people put extra efforts and time to work on their problems.



People who have their Chinese astrology lucky element as earth might notice that they are having very good luck. The good luck should come to them in the months of Earth. But which months are the month of Earth?



With a Chinese astrology calendar, the earth season is the days between the four seasons. Chinese astrology says that the earth is in charge of the 18 days before each season. The Earth Cycle will repeat about every two and a half months.



When is the strongest period of Earth in 2009? Because Fire is the mother element of Earth, therefore, we can say that the strongest period of Earth is the 18-day before the season of Fall.



Because Earth is the mother element of Metal. Earth can make Metal stronger. If your Lucky Element is Metal, then 2009 is a good year to you. The lucky season is the Fall - August, September and October.
