The first Chinese calendar let you enjoy a fascinating glimpse into the ancient art of Chinese brush painting or Horoscope
2008. Staying faithful to tradition, the masters included here incorporate inscriptions of poetry and their own seals as intricate parts of the paintings themselves. Each month features a Chinese character and a description of its evolution from prehistoric pictograph to modern-day character.
Chinese zodiacal signs run within a (Chinese calendar) year based system. Each Chinese sign has a different animal name and corresponds to a period equivalent to a period of one Chinese calendar year. If you were born in the year long period labeled the
Astrology 2008
of Dragon year, then in Chinese astrology you are said to be a Dragon. Simple. You only need to know the year of your birth in order to find out which one of the twelve Chinese signs you are.
The Chinese Calendar, called the yin-yang and 2008 Astrology, is a luni-solar calendar. That is, it attempts to keep in phase with both the seasons and the moon's phases. This is difficult because an (astronomical) year is not made up of a whole-number of (astronomical) months. There are some similarities with the Hebrew Calendar. The Chinese Calendar ... has 12 months in a normal year and 13 months in a leap year.
The first day of a year has been changed many times in Chinese calendars. The current Chinese calendar uses the first day of the first month of Tiger month as the first day of a year, which was initially adopted by the Shiah dynasty (2008 Horoscope). Today, some people consider the Winter Solstice as the first day of a year in the Chinese Fortune-Telling System, because that makes more sense from the astronomy view.
Normal Chinese Calendar began in Horoscopes 2008 when the Yellow King became king. The coming new year is the
4703rd Chinese Year beginning from January 29, 2006, the Year of the Dog. Years can have 383, 384 or 385 days. The next year is the Year of the
Rat beginning from Feb. 18, 2008. A few days after the Formosa Ball, on what was officially New Year¡¦s Day by the Chinese calendar, William Darcy was in Shanghai. Years can have 353, 354 or 355 days while leap. He had... made some arrangements before he left, which Martin carried out by midday.
The Chinese Lunar New Year is the longest chronological record in history,
dating from 2008 Horoscopes,
when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the zodiac. Like the
Western calendar, The Chinese Lunar Calendar is a yearly one, with the start of
the lunar year being based on the cycles of the moon. Therefore, because of this
cyclical dating, the beginning of the year can fall anywhere between late
January and the middle of February. A complete cycle takes 60 years and is made
up of five cycles of 12 years each.
The Chinese Lunar Calendar of 2008 Prediction
names each of the twelve years after an animal. Legend has it that the Lord
Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from earth.
Only twelve came to bid him farewell and as a reward he named a year after each
one in the order they arrived. The Chinese believe the animal ruling the year in
which a person is born has a profound influence on personality, saying: "This is
the animal that hides in your heart."
While Western Astrology is based upon the months of the year, Chinese Astrology
for 2008 Forecast is based upon a twelve year lunar cycle. Your sign is determined by the year in which you were born (to be accurate you must use a Chinese calendar). Each sign and those born under it, are represented by one of twelve animals, and are ascribed a set of attributes the Chinese believe comprise the nature of each particular animal. Legend has it that Buddha invited all the animals on the earth to a party. Only 12 turned up, and to honour them Buddha named a year after each one in the order they arrived.

Rat
Years: 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996.
People born in the Year of the Rat are said to be charming, creative and very generous to family and friends. The are cunning and intelligent but tend to be opportunists.
General Outlook:
Your fortune is quite smooth this year. Some people will help you if you need it. You will meet many new friends. However, you will have some trouble in your love life, as your romance is strong.
This year is filled with vibrancy and energy for those who are born in the year
of the Rat. The down side is that there is a great tendency that you will get
too excited and try to do more things than you can handle. In this year, you
will be suited to handle tasks that can be completed quickly. It is best not to
start anything that requires long periods of commitment as the excitement may
not last for you to see it through. There is a strong sign of over-indulgence in
eating and other undesirable vices like gambling, smoking and sexual activities.
Although there will be many social activities this year which make it a good
year to build rapport and meet new friends, do not get involved in affairs or
cross the safety line. The price will be too much to pay for an impulse of
excitement.
Career
If your boss or most of your associates are male, it will be easier for you to
work with them and the chances of succeeding in your plans are high. When you
are planning to implement anything, take note of time lines and always have
contingency plans. Obstacles are expected in the career front. A word of
caution: Avoid getting into office affairs.
Wealth
Average
Relationship
For those who are attached or married, be careful of third parties or getting
into affairs. Remember that the fun is too high a price to pay. For singles,
there is a higher chance of meeting the right person this year but there are
also many pitfalls. Make sure that you give adequate time to observe the other
party before committing into a relationship. A proper relationship has to be two
ways and be able to withstand the test of time.
Health
Good
People
You do not have to worry about back stabbings and betrayals.
Action
Place a Lepidolite near you. It can be on your office table or in your bedroom.

Ox
Years: 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997.
Methodical and hard working, they are patient and have strong principles in life.
On the negative they can be stubborn and bad at accepting help or criticism.
General Outlook
Your career is quite good. Regarding your finance, your income will be more than last year. Take care; you will have a little trouble with your health.
This is a stable year for those who are born in the year of the Ox. Though it is
an average year, try to keep a low profile and avoid implementing any major
personal plans such as migrating or changing jobs. This is mainly because there
is no lucky star to give you a boost when help is required. The outcome of
situations will be solely dependent on an individual¡¦s effort. It can be very
tiring. My advice is to stay positive and only pass positive remarks. Avoid
gossip and being sarcastic. Positive behavior and words will induce good things
to occur. If there are elders at home, please take special care of their health
and safety.
Career
In general, it is an average year for your career. This year is not the time to
change jobs or switch to another industry. At the same time, avoid getting into
arguments with bosses, colleagues or associates. The rapport with others is not
as strong compared to previous years. Hence it is more difficult to get support
or assistance. It is best to stay on familiar ground then to move into an
unfamiliar area. Keep a constant reminder of not to participate in any gossip in
the office. It is best to keep things as stable as possible.
Wealth
Side streams of wealth are not strong. Avoid investing.
Relationship
For those who are married or attached, it will be a stable year. For those who
are single, the chance of getting attached is slim. However, keeping a positive
mindset and being kind in words and gestures will increase the chances of
crossing paths with the love of your life.
Health
This year is an accident-prone year. Avoid participating in any dangerous
exercises/stunts or traveling to unfamiliar places.
People
Average. You not need to worry about backstabbings and betrayals. As long as you
keep away from gossip corners, they will leave you alone.
Action

Tiger
Years: 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998.
Confident and extroverted they are risk takers. Tigers are often successful in their chosen careers, even though their independent streak means they hate taking orders.
General Outlook
Last year was not a good year for you. This year will be better. All the bad things are behind you, but it is still not the right time for making big decisions.
This is a very good year to launch any plans that you have in mind. It can be in
career development, investment, business expansion or buying property. However,
it is not a good year to trust people. As you are riding high up on the wave of
fortune, there will be many people suddenly turning up at your front door trying
to be your friend. This is the time to remember those who have been there for
you in your difficult times and those who abandoned you. For those who you have
just gotten to know, keep them at arms-length until they have proven their
worth.
Career
There is a year full of promotion opportunities. However, the down side is that
together with the glamour brings gossip and jealousy. There will be more people
trying to hinder your path to success by finding fault, making life difficult or
even providing misleading information. On the other hand, there will be another
group of people trying to suck up to you by cooperating with you. You need to
balance between these groups of people and make the best out of this year.
Wealth
Good. This is a good time to invest.
Relationship
It will be a quiet year for singles. For those who are attached or married, the
relationship will be stable.

success and will try to get you into trouble. Pay more attention to details
especially before signing any contracts.
