2021 The Year of the Silver Ox

The Metal Ox – Look in the Mirror

This is the year of the white metal Ox, sometimes known as the golden ox, but better named The Silver Ox.   This is going to be a year when we will fully feel the weight of our responsibilities, a year when it is necessary to double our efforts to accomplish anything at all.  The heavy-handed peace-maker has come to restore law and order.  Nothing untoward will be tolerated in this year and rebellion will be quashed.  Home is serene this year because the Ox is very patient, domesticated and sentimental. Family has a chance to reconcile and reunite.   The metal of this Ox is not some old, rusty piece of heavy machinery.  This is the Silver Ox, a shiny, polished metal that acts as a mirror and allows many to look candidly at themselves, clarify their desires and act decisively to make change, both personal and professional.   Achievement is still utterly dependent on a full measure of back-breaking work, but the Silver Ox in more insightful and self-knowing than other Ox years.  Work hard, but know what you want and what you are working towards.

I’m not a fan of the Ox in general. My very sharp teeth are not at all useful for gnawing cornerstones to perfect right angles, which is generally the proscribed activity for Ox years.  And I am a metal dog, the Iron Dog, particularly inflexible, so the stubborn metal of the Silver Ox out-weights my own naturally iron will, and I can foresee wasting a lot of time barking at myself in the mirror. The words of warning: if you are stubborn this year and stand against the Ox’s very frank demands for hard work and honesty, you are going to get flattened into the mud; and if you allow your anxieties and stress to pile up, boil over or spew forth, they are just going to get reflected back at you in that mirror.

That being said, I’m sure everyone is quite eager to get off the plague ship of 2020, regardless of what the Silver Ox has in store!  So plunk down the gangplank and let’s disembark without delay.    

 Note: I added the years for each animal sign, but remember if you are born in January, you are ruled by the previous year’s animal sign because the Chinese New Year does not usually begin until February.

Rat (1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1998, 2010): This is the year for your transformation.  You plotted it all out last year; now do it! Your new career is waiting. Don’t gamble – industry is the path to success.  Take no chances.  Avoid nuance – the Ox demands plain speech and overt action.  No sneaking around underground or lurking in dark corners this year!  Lucky you, Ox keeps things comfy at home so you can concentrate on your career. But Ox demands hard work and discipline and stamina.  You must stay well rested in order to meet the rigorous demands of the Ox. And above all, you must deliver on your promises.  This is a metal Ox and metal adds stubbornness to an already inflexible year. You should have a good year since you are starting ahead of everyone else – they are all staring stupidly into that mirror either asking themselves soul-searching questions or trying to figure out what they really want, while your plans are already made.  Continue to show restraint in spending – Ox will let you earn money, through hard work but resist the urge to splurge.  You will not need the money you earn this year so put it away and do not make any large purchases. This should be a very healthy year since the Ox will lend you fortitude to kick even your minor bad habits. This year there really are not a lot of other signs who can help you.  Ox is pretty much your best friend, even though they are very demanding.  Pigs are lively companions, although their obsession with work can be both exhausting and exasperating to their partners.  Tigers, Horses and Dogs are a triangle of signs you should avoid if you can – they have innate stubborn streaks (dogs) and rebellious tendencies (horses and tigers) that could get them into trouble that you want no part of that right now.

Ox (1949, 1961,1973, 1985, 1997, 2009): Love and Money are always yours in this year because you can be your hard-working, strong and ardent self.  No cunning or conniving required and no delicate veneers or refinements can contest your raw energy and brute strength.  This year, however, bodes for a distinct change in personality and perspective.  It’s a sentimental year.  Home can be blissful and loving if the Ox can keep its emotional sensitivity and stubbornness in check.  Look in the mirror and be mindful of what you see.  This will allow you to change and be more open to this year’s opportunities, both social and professional.  Your physical health should be good this year, but do remember to rest and relax.   Enjoy the company of friends and family.  The only health issues you are likely to have are mental.  Being overly sensitive can lead to depression. Excessive of energy can lead to agitation which will manifest as physical illness.   Snakes and Roosters are your best friends this year (and they aren’t hard on the eyes either).  They can help cheer you up and entertain you. Snakes have creative vision to help you direct your energy. And Roosters, aside from sharing your work ethic, can guide you to making your Herculean efforts profitable.  The Tiger-Horse-Dog triad are known agitators that will disturb you, in your year no less, so avoid them.  Goats are poised to flee to higher ground, so you can count on parting ways with them quickly.  

Tiger (1938,1950,1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010): Look in the mirror. Time for some focus on yourself.  Questions, from the mundane and material to the spiritual and emotional, need to be answered during the first half of the year.  The Ox rewards hard work, but the Silver Ox requires you to be very introspective when setting your goals. Beware the fate of Narcissus, however, and do not languish before the mirror merely admiring yourself. You are fierce, noble and strong, but those are not the questions that require answers.  The Ox is industrious but not fast.  Tigers are strong as the Ox and a lot faster.  But before you dash out the door and start tearing things up, figure out what you really want.  The Ox wants discipline and order, and Tigers are just a tad unruly, with a bit of a temper to boot (and really sharp claws- No clawing this year!).  Simmer down and be patient when the Ox makes its demands. Financially, it is a good year for very careful planning and investing.  It is not a good year for spending.  The Silver Ox is very sentimental and home-oriented, so be careful not to overspend on your family or your abode.  Ox in general has a tendency to over-eat and to be an “emotional eater”, so stick to your diet.  Practice the patience of the Ox without the Ox’s emotional over-sensitivity.  Stress will make you physically ill so you need to be more objective and less emotional this year.  Your year, your 12 year reset, the next 12 year cycle of your life starts next year, in 2022, when we all go back to the jungle.  So this year you need to tidy up all the loose ends and mentally, as well as physically, finish whatever you have been working on.

Rabbit (1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011):  You have the potential to identify other, significant sources of revenue this year. You can harness the energy of the Ox and make your hard work profitable.  You also need to stop playing second-fiddle and start giving yourself the respect and credibility you deserve.  You have an over-abundance of creativity this year – exactly what the Ox lacks.  You can really pull rabbits out of the hat this year, so pull yourself out!  Show off your talents. Stop worrying about absolute perfection and jump! Look in the mirror and see yourself as you truly are instead of as what loved ones tell you are or should be. This will lead to disagreement with your colleagues and your lovers.  You are so sensual and desirable that your nearest and dearest often suffer serious pangs of jealousy and insecurity, leading them to unfairly downplay your talent and criticize your work.   Be careful not to overwork yourself.  The Ox has stamina few can match, so don’t fall into that contest because you will lose and your health will suffer disastrously. You need to conserve your energy and use it creatively, with laser focus.  The Ox year is a domestic year, the last in a line of five (Rooster, Dog, Pig, Rat, Ox), before we all go back to the jungle in 2022, the Year of the Tiger.  So use the relative security of the Ox’s law-abiding, straight shooting, moderately paced year to make good progress, but remember this is a slow and steady wins the race year. Depression is a risk for the zodiac signs pre-disposed to it (Rabbit, Goat, Horse, Dog), so spend time with Goats (they will cheer you up and validate you) and Pigs (they will give you gentle, uncritical advice) and Dogs (they will believe in you and protect you).    

Dragon (1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012): Opportunities are there and the Ox is earthbound and slow so you should have a clear view and ample time to make the most of them.  This is a year where the non-conformists (Dragons) shine.  Of all the zodiac animals, only the Dragons are mythical. Ox has plenty of energy and strength but lacks creativity.  This makes Dragons all the more sought after for their magic and imagination.  And this Ox is sweetly sentimental so home and family are not a source of friction this year. Dragons will be free to express themselves more fully and honestly to their loved ones.  Look in the mirror – you can solve any problem but you have to recognize it as a problem first. And, like the Tigers and the Goats, Dragons should beware of wasting too much time looking in the mirror only to admire their own reflections. The first half of the year will be relatively inactive since Dragons will be questioning their problems and possible solutions.  Even magical dragons can have doubts and seek advice. The Ox will lend you whatever muscle you need, so do not shirk your responsibilities, no matter how heavy.  This is a year when you must actually work, not just dream.  Be careful not to become agitated – there is no need and agitation will only exhaust you. Your health has the potential to deteriorate seriously if you don’t remain calm and well-rested. Remember too that Ox has a tendency to be an emotional eater, so stick very carefully to your diet and health regimes.  The second half of the year Dragons will relaunch themselves to new heights and dominate the skies again in a new and very purposeful way.  Monkeys and Rats will be good friends for you this year.  Monkeys are very clever and provide useful advice. Monkeys also have little or no conscience so their advice will be refreshingly unclouded by emotion or sentiment. They are also at their charming best this year.  Rats are the masters of timing and self-interest, so they can be of good service to Dragons this year.  Stay away from the Dogs – their bark is never agreeable to you, and this year your mirror is the only critic you have time for.

Snake (1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013): You can actually find enlightenment and answers this year. Your dreams that have been on hold for a while can take root and blossom this year.  You inspire others. You provide many things the Ox innately lacks and can make a big difference in the lives of others this year.  Don’t be lured into imitating the Ox’s unreasonable and demanding tactics; you need to be your charming and charismatic self.  You have great flexibility which the Ox entirely lacks.  Emotional over-sensitivity of the Ox makes your hypnotic and graceful mannerisms very important to those around you.  Treat others and their emotions carefully and tactfully.  More importantly, socializing and communicating graciously will greatly improve the chance that you will meet someone who will be a catalyst for a significant career move some time in the next few years.  Ox and Roosters are your friends this year. Ox has the energy and the strength but needs your creative vision to be effective.  And the Rooster has the business acumen and accounting skills to make your projects profitable. Pigs, like you, are incredibly creative, however, they are workaholics and trying to partner with them in business will kill you.  Health is generally good for Snakes this year. This is a year full of energy, but be patient and practice stress management and reduction, or else agitation could lead to insomnia, depression and even mental disease.

Horse (1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014): Optimism is high and you are brimming with confidence and plans which attract many willing helpers.  Ox likes your work ethic and will throw its significant weight behind you to help you get it done. You are detail oriented, disciplined and leave little to chance, so the mirror the Ox wants you to look in doesn’t really contain any surprises. Rather, the introspection of this year is just a sentimental review of your childhood and experiences, and recognition of how they have shaped you.  Above all, forgive yourself, love yourself and then put the mirror away.  Be careful not to get too sentimental as the Ox has a tendency to overspend on family and friends, and the horse has a tendency to try to purchase harmony with loved ones.  You are in the Tiger-Horse-Dog triad of compatibility, so those signs will always be fundamentally compatible with you.  Dog is conservative like you, and likes law and order, and Tiger shares your love of freedom and your wanderlust.  Ox is conservative too, and the Silver Ox is actually in favor of travel for family reunions, visits to ancestral lands or grave sites, or any travel for business.  Goats are very companionable this year (they are lonely); Tigers are willing to lend you a helping hand (they are bored).  Dragons are very spiritually appealing and noble this year.  Monkeys provide excellent advice and are better mannered than usual.  Avoid the Rats; their misgivings, pessimism and selfishness just rain all over your parade this year and bring down your high spirits.  Health is generally good this year, although there is a high chance of injury/accident in the second half of the year.  And there may be some problem within the skull – either dental, auditory or mental.  

Goat (1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003): Money cannot buy you love, so don’t waste your money. Set goals because you can climb high and fast and will achieve them.  Invest in yourself, your own business, your own career and you will profit greatly.  Keep your cool or you might lose your lover and your money.  You don’t really get along with Ox, and when you do look in the mirror, you don’t look honestly.  You far prefer the flattery and attention of others. They tell you what you want to hear, and in exchange, you try to tell them what they want to hear.  Romance is in the air and you love Love.  Horses and rabbits are your best bet – they have the added benefit of being really creative and full of interesting plans this year, and they both need your kindness and pleasantry.  You could be absolutely smitten with a Pig or another Goat. Pig, however, loves business more than Pig will ever love you.  And another Goat, while a charming lover, isn’t going to take you anywhere new or different. Just remember, Love is not going to pay the bills, so don’t go languishing in it when you should be working.  Agitation and stress can manifest as physical illness this year, so Goats will have to be extra careful to devote enough time to rest and relaxation.  Goat’s health is always precariously wrapped up in their mental well-being and the demands of the Silver Ox for introspection can lead to depression in the zodiac signs that are prone to this affliction anyway (Horse, Goat, Rabbit, Dog).  Goat has a thin skin and the Silver Ox’s sentimentality leaves the Goat’s emotions exposed for excess bruising. Goat should stay away from the Rats (they will depress you) and the Dogs (they will hurt your feelings). One last reminder: Goats are stubborn, and at their worst can hurl themselves head first at rock walls; don’t do it.  Rock walls are for climbing, as nimbly as only a Goat can.

Monkey (1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004): You have the energy, talent and ambition this year, and the Ox will reward your efforts and even lend you some extra muscle.  But you have some long-ignored questions about yourself that you need to answer.  Do not be afraid to look in the mirror.  With the answers, you will become more confident and focused throughout the year. Your wishes can’t come true until you actually make a wish; you can’t achieve your goals until you set them.  This Ox is sentimental and that sentimentality is NOT weakness; it is the patience and kindness to look at your past and acknowledge how it influences your personality, and how better to apply yourself.  You will be infinitely more successful with this self-knowledge.  This year has plenty of opportunities for the Monkey and you are intelligent enough, and quick enough, to take advantage with excellent results for your career and your bank account.  Be careful not to make promises you cannot keep. It is a healthy year generally, but could get off to a rocky start or suffer a minor set-back in the middle.  You are vibrant this year, and less inclined to tease than usual, making you very attractive and sought-after.  Take advantage of social connections to gain valuable information and higher visibility, but beware would-be seducers masquerading as would-be business partners.  They could raise false expectations, waste your valuable time and potentially damage your professional reputation.  

Rooster (1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005):  This year is about an organized and disciplined campaign to regain your personal authority and power.  This is not a blustery year of fortune’s fickle winds and upheaval.  Change this year is engineered and deliberate to solve real problems.  Although some sacrifices are required, Roosters can make the necessary and timely changes, and surpass themselves gloriously.  It’s that Phoenix thing – crash, burn, rise from the ashes, soar high, and repeat as often as necessary.  It will be a busy year, full of plans and projects and social engagements.  And, because Rooster desires change, the sentimentality of this Ox will not depress Rooster or leave the Rooster with any regrets.  Friends and Family always come first with Rooster, and this year the sentimental Ox rewards the Rooster handsomely for these fine priorities. There will be friction in your professional life because you have to deal with personalities you do not appreciate.  Use your abundance of energy to focus on making the team work together and get the job done.  Snakes and Ox are very good friends this year: Snake has some excellent ideas and Ox has the muscle; Rooster harnesses them together and can drive them to success.  Monkeys and Rabbits are very hard to live with because Monkey tries to second-guess you at every turn, and Rabbit is just bouncing all over the place. Besides, neither of them are domesticated.  Your philosophical disagreements with Rats continue, with no plausible end in sight. Although you both love work, your work ethic is stronger and Rat does not give as high a priority to family life as you do. Excess energy can lead to excess agitation which in turn will lead to a decline in health, so keep your cool and your objectivity. As with any metal year, Roosters should take extra care to avoid accidents/injury.

Dog (1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006): You have the energy and you have the determination; be organized and pay attention to detail. Consider your opportunities objectively so that you can prioritize the ones with the greatest potential for success and not waste your time on somebody else’s noble but impractical or impossible pet project. And don’t let your hard work go unrewarded or unrecognized.  Act decisively and demand credit where credit is due.  Look in the mirror to remind yourself of your self-worth and be confident that you deserve reward and advancement.  Don’t be suckered or guilted, or even friended into doing other people’s work for them.  We all have our own responsibilities this year, and they are heavy. Even with the extra energy of the Ox, your own burdens are quite enough – do not shoulder the burdens of others.  This is a domesticated year, the last of a string of 5 (Rooster, Dog, Pig, Rat, Ox) so be your dedicated, strong, well-behaved self - think lead on the sled dog team … running the Iditarod.  2022, the Year of the Tiger, it’s back to the jungle and you can howl and run wild with Tiger’s protection and good will, because Tiger is in your compatibility triad. Ox is not.  Your stamina is good and you pursue doggedly, but the Ox always demands more and physical exhaustion leading to deterioration in health is a real risk. No excesses this year.  Resist the impulsive spending and gift-giving; you have what you need so put the rest away for a rainy day. Keep your criticisms of others entirely to yourself this year (and every year?) because the Ox is in charge and other people’s feelings bruise easily this year. Depression is a big risk this year, so look to Rabbits (they are Dog’s secret friend and can cheer you up) and Tigers (in your affinity triad and they reassure and protect Dogs) to lift your spirits. While you tend to offer too much criticism, and nobody wants to hear it this year, you esteem Tigers and Horses so much that you find fault with them far less frequently than with others. And even when you do find fault with them, your loyalty generally keeps you quiet.  So you will be a much more agreeable companion within your triad this year than outside it.  Strive to remain optimistic; it will be better for everyone if you do! There are no obstacles in an Ox year that cannot be overcome.

Pig (1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007): Money flows your way and luck is with you in your investments.  You are strong like the ox and the ox loves your work ethic and willingly throws its weight behind your endeavors. You are clever and can really take advantage of the opportunities this year. Don’t let sentimentality draw you into unfruitful ventures or cloud your vision concerning really golden opportunities.  Although the pig can potentially over-indulge, their enormous appetite for work over-rides everything this year.  And while excess energy leads to agitation and stress in other signs, the pigs just plow it back into even greater productivity. There will be extra money this year, so put some away safely to invest in a terrific opportunity a few years from now. This will be an extraordinary year in many regards.  Be careful with the feelings of others.  The Ox has a tendency to be overly sensitive. Pigs will need to be patient with the sentimental mood that prevails this year. Of course Pig would rather just work, but family and friends feel neglected by pig while pig is truffle hunting. Goats, Tigers and Rabbits are good friends this year.  The Tigers admire your strength and your ability to fight. This bodes well for you in 2022, the Year of the Tiger, when jungle warfare comes back into style. Tigers also like your creativity and intelligence and will help you this year because they are bored.  Goats and Rabbits need you a little bit more than you need them. Goats are lonely this year and want to socialize in style (you have high style); and Rabbits need your advice and help applying their creativity in a more focused and profitable manner. Both Goats and Rabbits trust you not to bruise their emotions. Goat may even fall in love with you.  Living with a Rat is never boring, but although both of you have a tendency to prioritize work over home life, ironically it is the Rat who claims to be neglected.  This is likely because Rat lacks your stamina. Snakes are to be avoided – they get on well with Ox and can flourish this year, but they have nothing to offer Pigs. Remember the Roosters are very good with money, and are doing capable of doing that Phoenix thing and rise from the ashes, so don’t discount them from your business plans.

Chinese Horoscope 2021 – Year of the Metal Ox.

[bloedewir]

I'm not so into the things, but

The Chinese horoscope says that 2021 year will be the year of Metal Ox. Metal Ox.

So.. can I make an presumption that it will be an Iron Bull year? Sound hopeful.

Maybe a year later we can say: taarsidath-an halsaam. Maybe it will be a good year. Please?

The Chinese Zodiac and 2021 — Is 2021 a Lucky Year?

2021 is a year of the Chinese zodiac sign "Ox". The Ox has long been a symbol of power in Chinese culture. An Ox year is usually considered to be a more hopeful and fruitful year, so 2021 is expected to bring better luck.

The Luckiest/Unluckiest Zodiac Sign

There is a popular Chinese folk saying that 9/10 Goats are inadequate (十羊九不全 '10 Goats 9 incomplete'), which implies most people born in a year of the Goat are destined for bad luck.

Most Chinese people also believe that people born in a Goat year will grow up to be followers rather than leaders. Although this is an outdated superstition, it has a real effect on Chinese society.

Conversely, the Dragon is the most coveted zodiac sign, with Chinese births peaking in Dragon years. In Chinese culture, the top 5 luckiest/most popular zodiac signs are Dragon, Snake, Pig, Rat, and Tiger conventionally.

Rationally, it's hard to identify the luckiest or unluckiest zodiac signs, as each sign has its own advantages and disadvantages. Socially, different combinations of zodiac signs cause different relational dynamics, which may affect someone's life more, as we don't live in isolation.

12 Zodiac Animal Personalities & 2021 Horoscopes

Chinese zodiac animals have astrological and cultural meanings. Chinese people associate each animal sign with certain characteristics. It's believed that people born in a given year have the personality of that year's animal. Click the animal signs below to learn more about each zodiac animal.

People born in a certain animal year are believed to have attributes of that animal, which could either help or hinder a relationship. Each Chinese zodiac animal has personality traits assigned to it by the ancient Chinese. Chinese people believe these traits will be embodied in people, according to their zodiac sign.

An important use of the Chinese zodiac is to determine if two people are compatible, in a romantic relationship or any kind of relationship.

In ancient times people were faithful to Chinese zodiac compatibility and often referred to it before a romantic relationship began. Even nowadays some people still refer to it.

These love compatibilities are derived from 6 trines (similarities), 4 six-harmony pairs (complementary opposites), and 6 other less-easily-discerned personality trait compatibilities.

Tips for Wearing Zodiac Lucky Jewelry — Two Chinese Zodiac Compatibility Groups

Trine trios are compatible for like-mindedness in values, habits, interests, and so on, and harmony in relationships.

Six-harmony pairs are complementary (diametrically opposite) to each other and most likely to provide very good help to the other one.

Trine Compatible Trios Six-Harmony Compatible Pairs Monkey & Rat & Dragon Rat & Ox Snake & Rooster & Ox Tiger & Pig Tiger & Horse & Dog Rabbit & Dog Pig & Rabbit & Goat Dragon & Rooster / Snake & Monkey / Horse & Goat How to Choose Your Zodiac Lucky Jewelry:

There's a custom of wearing zodiac sign jewelry to avoid bad luck in China — usually a bracelet or necklace. The rule is choosing the six-harmony compatible signs first, then trine signs. For example, if you are an Ox, you could wear Rat jewelry.

Special Zodiac Jewelry Tips for 2021:

In 2021, there are five zodiac signs in conflict with Tai Sui (Jupiter, the age star, or the God of Age in Chinese culture, which will bring misfortune): Ox, Goat, Dog, Horse, and Dragon.

If your compatible signs involve any of these five signs, you should skip them and choose other signs for your lucky accessories. For example, people born under the Rooster sign should usually wear Dragon jewelry for its six-harmony compatibility, but in 2021, they should avoid the Dragon and choose the Snake from the trine trio (not the Ox as it's also in conflict with Tai Sui).

Similarly, if a person is born under the Goat sign, in 2021 he/she should wear Pig or Rabbit jewelry instead of a Horse accessory. How to Be Lucky in Your Own Zodiac Year

A person's zodiac year, or benmingnian, is any year in the person's life with the same Chinese zodiac animal sign as his/her birth year. As there are 12 animal signs, a year of your birth sign occurs once per 12-year-cycle: when you are (about) 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, and so on.

According to Chinese astrology, people in their zodiac year are believed to offend Tai Sui, the God of Age, and incur his curse. It is believed to bring nothing but bad luck. Therefore, Chinese astrology followers pay special attention to their conduct every twelfth year of their lives, i.e. in their birth sign years.

2021 is the benmingnian(本命年 ‘origin of life year') for those people born under the Ox sign. Read more on How to Make Good Luck in Your Zodiac Year Easily.

Chinese Zodiac Origins — What is the Chinese Zodiac Based On?

The Chinese zodiac is a repeating cycle of 12 animal signs that are divided on a year-by-year basis.

The 12 signs are popularly explained by a myth that when the Jade Emperor (the supreme immortal) was developing a calendar, all creatures on Earth were summoned to participate in a race. The first 12 to cross the line were awarded signs and an order in the Chinese zodiac. Find out more on Chinese Zodiac story.

Actually, the 12 animals were chosen very deliberately by the ancients, after many revisions. The zodiac animals are either closely related to ancient Chinese people's daily lives, or have lucky meanings.

Chinese Zodiac Elements The Chinese Zodiac and Chinese New Year

There are two dates a Chinese zodiac year could be said to start on: Chinese New Year or ‘Start of Spring'.

Chinese New Year (day 1 of the lunar year) falls somewhere in the period January 21 to February 20.

Start of Spring (day 1 of the solar year), the first day of the first solar term in the traditional Chinese solar calendar, falls in the period February 3–5.

Most Chinese people use lunar new year as the start of the zodiac year. But for professional fortune telling, Chinese astrologers use 'Start of Spring' or solar new year as the beginning of the zodiac year.

The Zodiac Five Elements

The Chinese astrology system identifies five elements: fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. Each element is linked to motivating forces in people's lives.

Fixed Elements for Each Chinese Zodiac Sign

In Chinese astrology, each of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs is associated with one of the five elements, which is known as the fixed element of the sign:

Fixed Element Chinese Zodiac Sign Wood Tiger, Rabbit Fire Snake, Horse Earth Ox, Dragon, Goat, Dog Metal Monkey, Rooster Water Pig, Rat

Each 12-year zodiac cycle also has an element, which repeats on a 60-year cycles.

Element 12-Year Cycle 12-Year Cycle Wood 1924–1935 1984–1995 Fire 1936–1947 1996–2007 Earth 1948–1959 2008–2019 Metal 1960–1971 2020–2031 Water 1972–1983 2032–2043

A person's characteristics are said to be determined both by the fixed element of their zodiac sign and the element of the 12-year cycle they were born in. E.g., a Metal Ox (born in 2021) has a personality with aspects associate with both Metal (12-year-cycle element) and Earth (zodiac sign fixed element).

Fire element people are inspired by excitement.

Earth people are motivated to secure foundations.

Metal people are driven to create order.

Water people are compelled to form emotional bonds.

Wood people have a desire to explore.
