Chinese Zodiac

The system of astrology that developed in the East was consistent with the prevailing religious or spiritual beliefs of the population, which were primarily polytheistic and mythological based.

Chines time has traditionally been measured in a sixty year cycle. Each year presents one of the twelve animals in the zodiac, and each animal transitions through the influence of each of the five elements: earth, fire water, metal and wood. Symbolising the interaction of Heaven and Earth are the influences of the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches.

The Chinese zodiac offers another prism through which to better understand yourself and your relationships. Inside this book is a brief introduction to Eastern astrology.
