This year - the year 2011 - is rabbit, if you follow the Chinese zodiac. It began on 3 February 2011, the the beginning of the lunar new year and the Spring Festival in China. It takes 22 until Jan, 2012.
Chinese zodiac is based on a cycle of twelve years and it is calculated according to the Chinese lunar calendar. Every year in this cycle character refers to an animal. The animals are characters: rat, ox, Tiger, rabbit, Dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, cock, dog and pig.
The animal characters change every year in late January or February depending on the new moon.
It is believed that the animal that your birth year rules has a strong influence on your life. It is also thought that a person born embodies the animal features, in a given year as see the Chinese of this animal.
However, Chinese astrology is not just as simple, such as the 12 Chinese zodiac signs refer to the months of the year and during the periods of the day. Daily animal divided characters, starting at 11: 00 pm with the rat into two-hour periods represented by one of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. When all of these are combined, the Chinese astrologer can then tell you your destiny.
There is a beautiful legend of the Chinese zodiac; It is said that the gods ordered that animals were, as characters are chosen for each year and the twelve who arrived were selected. The rat was the first character of the years first because he was curious and so with the ox.
Apparently promised the rat cat to wake up, so that she could travel together. But on the fateful day, the rat to wake that cat and that is why cats hate rats still forgot. Chinese new year's day is now when animals are divided in two years.
While gifts are based appreciated on the astrological signs, especially of those, who believe in the horoscope, they are also guarded and enjoyed by many, who simply appreciate traditions.
Gifts and good luck go together for so many people. The Chinese appreciate especially items as jewelry etc., which are red in colour and depends on the luck of his were received as a gift, but bought than for himself.
As the Chinese people have special affection for red, redness has become the token of all the good things.
Characters are the animals in many ways, born as a gift given in the corresponding year.
