Character Traits Of Babies Born During Chinese Year Signs
You will almost certainly know your zodiac sign, but are you aware of the Chinese zodiac sign you were born in?
Unlike in our western astrology where each sign lasts for about one month, each Chinese zodiac sign Chinese year sign lasts for about a year.
The signs in Chinese astrology are all named after animals. Legend has it that as Buddha was about to depart this world he called all the animals together to say farewell. Only 12 turned up so, to show his appreciation of their loyalty, he vowed that from then on each year would be named after one of them.
Chinese astrology is based on the lunar calendar and the beginning and end of each year does not fall on the same day each year. Chinese new years occur any time from late January to early February; the actual date can vary by up to 3 weeks. So for babies born at this time of year it is necessary to consult the charts to see the Chinese year during which she or he was born.
In much the same way that each of the western zodiac signs have their own character traits, people born during Chinese years also share certain aspects of their personality.
If your baby is due to be born between now and January 25 next year, he or she will be born during the Chinese year of the Rat.
