The Birth Calendar
The animal year when a person was born is called his/her Benming Nian (year of birth). The distinctive zodiacal way of calculating years based on the lunar calendar decides that every once in every twelve year cycle people will meet their birth sign.
According to Chinese Solar Terms, the Beginning of Spring is the first solar term regarded as the start of a new year. So, years should be divided by this day. Now, Chinese New Year's Day is commonly adopted as the division of two animal years.It is said that in one's year of birth, he will offend 'Taisui', a mysterious power or celestial body that could control people's fortune. That is, he will meet either exultation or misery during that year. The best way to avoid miserable events is to wear red clothes, a waistband, or decorations such as a red bracelet and necklace as a talisman that must be purchased by others. If the person himself buys them, the function of the talisman is greatly reduced.

Improve your love life with Chinese Astrology
Originated from around 200 BC, Chinese astrology can help you enhance your luck and live life to the fullest.

Chinese astrology is a part of Chinese metaphysics, in which the world is perceived as the influence of five elements - metal, wood, water, fire and earth. These five elements can be seen as different energy fields and they are divided from the fundamental concept of Yin and Yang. The strength of each of these five elements varies in different year, month, day and time, as influenced by the major stars in our universe.
This may be due to the people's special affection for red since the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220). In the Han people's wedding ceremony, the bride was picked up by her bridegroom's red sedan, the new couple wore red clothes, and their rooms were decorated with red candles, red carpets and red lanterns. When an army won a battle, victory would be reported with a red flag; and when a candidate passed the imperial examination, he would wear red flowered clothes. Thus redness has become the token of festivities, success, bravery, rightness, and exorcism. From another point of view, there are just more and greater changes in the birth year than in other years, which are not always ominous. A change to one's fate to ensure the predomination of good fortune requires both effort and a firm belief.
