Happy Chinese New Year 2013,
I am sure everybody are with their families celebrating and I
have just been reading a bit of the coming year of the Snake.
Chinese horoscope is most popular during this period and I couldn't
help but do my own fair share of reading and I found this
explanation on Tsem Rinpoche's blog, which I feel is quite accurate
of Chinese Zodiacs. -
The Chinese Zodiac
Discover more about yourself
according to ancient Chinese tradition
Every individual’s personality has a centered “self” and many
layers around it. Each layer has a different size, texture and
aura, and when combined, it makes up who the person truly is. The
Chinese Zodiac or Chinese Horoscope uses details of your birth to
determine your basic personality traits, strengths, weaknesses,
your compatibility with other people and even to forecast your
future.
Chinese Horoscopes may not have any religious basis. However, if
it’s based on 5,000 years worth of human observation, similar
trends can be found. It is the culmination of 5,000 years of
observation by the ancient Chinese scholars to culminate into the
analysis of each sign. Some are very accurate. Observation is the
best way to gather information.
It is always interesting and entertaining to read about
yourself, your good points and your horoscoped weaknesses. I guess
knowing more about yourself will help you to work on what you need
to work on. It is nice to know who you can work, partner, and be
friends with… also who you would find some conflict with perhaps.
Of course getting along and not getting along ultimately relies on
you. But it is interesting to see who you have ‘natural’ conflicts
with if no efforts were made towards the relationship. It is also
interesting to share with friends personality traits of people you
would like to understand more about. It is always nice to have a
some lead in order to find a beginning in our relations with
others.
