PERSONALITY
Others are attracted to you by your positive attitude and enthusiasm. You enjoy life and become excited amidst new challenges, unusual places and unexpected situations. If you should happen to lose face in a situation or fail in an endeavor, you do not mind starting all over again or seeking a new challenge. You dare to venture into unknown situations because you enjoy challenges and excitement.
You have an active and creative mind with great ideas for some new activity. You do not like to be tied down by rules or by directives from others. A natural leader born under the sign of courage, you seldom seek others for support as you like to execute a certain amount of independence. You like to be free and do as you please.
Characterized by a somewhat restless nature, sometimes you have a tendency to be impulsive and later regret your actions. If you would think things out and persevere in your many endeavors, you will undoubtedly meet with more success.
Your life is like a see-saw, with its many ups and downs. Although lady luck is often with you, depression sets in when things go wrong and it usually takes quite awhile for you to recover. You simply do not deal well with failure and are embarrassed when friends or work colleagues discover that you have misjudged situations.

Many customs and traditions of ancient China are still being observed in Hawai'i today. One of the most popular ancient Chinese arts that has survived since the arrival of Chinese Laborers in the early 1800's, is Chinese astrology. For years astrology has been influential in the everyday lives of the Chinese. Although today it no longer plays a major role in the daily lives of Chinese, astrology still absorbs the interest of many people not only in Hawai'i, but all over the world.
The history of Chinese astrology can be traced back more than 4,000 years ago in China when Emperor Yao commanded court astronomers to calculate a calendar so people would know when to plant and sow. Then it was not until nearly 2,000 years later during the Tang dynasty (AD 618-907) that astrology started to gain popularity when the Emperor ordered respected officials at the Imperial Court to construct a Chinese almanac or Tung Shu, which is still produced every year. The almanac lists auspicious days to open a business, marry, embark on a long journey or make other personal decisions.
