PERSONALITY
You are showy and enjoy entertaining friends and meeting people. You are one of the best dressed and groomed of all the animal signs. You have a high interest in clothes, colors, designs and accessories.
You also exhibit a compassionate, wise and brave nature when the occasion arises such as when a person is in need of help.
Because you have a strong independent spirit, you find it very difficult to accept advice from anyone. Instead, you follow your own strong independent nature. In fact sometimes when things need to be said, you could be so direct and blunt that you would inadvertently hurt others. Therefore, at times it would be wise for you to be quiet and not express yourself in order to keep peace.
You are indeed highly intelligent, ambitious and a good speaker. You do well in discussions and debates. When you try to hide your sometimes erratic and careless behavior, you are able to put up a good front by protecting yourself with humor and lively conversation.
You certainly can conduct yourself in a dignified and confident manner. You are adept at handling financial matters. Most Roosters save or spend their money wisely, but a few are spendthrifts.
Being highly organized, you always write down reminders or bits of information and conduct activities in an orderly manner.
You do not like criticism and will let others know of your feelings. You can also be self-centered and stubborn over little things but overshadowing these weaknesses are your qualities of honesty, trustworthiness and reliability.

You are lively company, a convincing conversationalist and a good listener. In addition, people trust you with their secrets. You are popular so you lead an active social life.
However, you are vengeful if someone should cross you. You certainly won't forget and your wily nature will wait for a good opportunity to get even. Sometimes your determination to get what you want may make you appear manipulative, so be careful that this does not ruin a friendship.
When someone needs help, you are open and willing to help. So the tender side of your nature is moved when you see someone in trouble.
You like to impress others and many are attracted to you because of your good looks, sense of humor and confidence. However, you can be easily distracted, and should concentrate on one thing at a time in order to achieve more in the long run.
People born in the year of the Monkey can be crafty, cunning, and sometimes dishonest. As a Monkey, you will take the opportunity to make a quick gain and outsmart your opponent. People do not know what you are up to until it is too late.
You are good in finances but because you enjoy the pleasures of life you are extravagant when it comes to spending money on travel or some form of luxury. Also, if you should spot a person with something that you long for, you become envious.

PERSONALITY
Just as a horse is calmed by soothing words, you are easily charmed by tenderness and affection. You are independent and confident and usually have a welcoming smile for everyone. You are easily flattered, but you also have an honesty and warmth which attracts many friends. You are popular and enjoy parties and social gatherings.
You are an eloquent and persuasive speaker and enjoy taking part in discussions and debates. You have an alert mind and are able to pick up and remember facts and information quickly.
Horse people must be careful of what they say. Being a Horse person, you have the tendency to say things you later regret. You also have difficulty in keeping secrets- not out of malice or revenge, but you simply can't help yourself. So control your outbursts and beware of your fiery temper.
Because you have many interests, you often get carried away by the excitement of the moment, and act too impulsively without giving enough thought for the future. Then when you get disillusioned by the outcome of the activity or by your efforts, you turn away and focus your energies on a new interest without completing the old.
You treasure your independence and freedom. Although you have no use for rules or regulations, you still like to have the support of others in your various activities.
You have much to offer due to your many talents and likable nature. However should you meet with failure in any one of your endeavors, you have a hard time picking up the pieces again. Success means everything to you and you have a difficult time handling failure.

PERSONALITY
You are a down to earth person. Not only are you sincere, loyal and unpretentious, but underneath you are strong-willed and ambitious. Once you have set your mind on something or made a commitment, you keep your word. Sometimes you are so set in your opinions or ways that it may prejudice your actions. You appear to be calm, but can be stubborn and temperamental if anyone should go against you or want you to change your position. You then need to be left alone with peace and quiet in order to cool off and work through your ideas.
As much as possible, you avoid using credit cards for the mere thought of being in debt upsets you very much. You certainly are not a big spender. You are not extravagant. Like the Rat, you are a hoarder, but you are well-organized and neat.
Close friends like you because you are truthful, sincere, and honest. You are also a deep thinker and rather studious, preferring to stick to things that are conventional and traditional. Anything faddish, new or too innovative do not excite or agree with you. What irritates you is when you are kept waiting for someone who fails to be on time, for you place great importance on punctuality.
Your family and home are very important to you. Members of your family are very close-knit. Whenever possible, you like to devote time to work out in the garden or yard. You enjoy spending time outdoors.
Ox people do not make friends easily. Therefore it would usually take you quite awhile to get close to someone and establish a relationship or friendship. But once a friendship is formed, you become very devoted and loyal to that person. However, once a friend deceives you, you will find it difficult to forgive.

PERSONALITY
You are resourceful, successful, and ambitious. Whenever there is a project in progress, you approach it wholeheartedly. You are quick to spot the potential in a situation and display skill in putting your ideas into action. However, be careful not to force your ideas on to others and alienate them, as you can be strong-willed and overly ambitious at times.
Fairness is very important to you. You want others to deal fairly with you as you are with them. Anyone who deceives you will no longer gain your trust. You are quick to anger, thrifty, but generous to those you love.
Because you are such a good conversationalist, you enjoy social gatherings and being with people. However, although you are popular and charming, and have many friends, you are not able to maintain long friendships. You have a need to be secure and understood by others. Therefore you guard your privacy fiercely.
If anyone should need a critic, you are most likely to be approached for your opinion because you are honest and unbiased. But you can be critical and petty also, especially when you find yourself in a situation where you feel you are not appreciated.
Another trait of yours is that you are a hoarder and find it not to your liking to see things go to waste. Rarely are you prepared to throw things away. Also, very seldom would you turn down an invitation for a free meal or refuse a complimentary ticket to some social function or event.

If someone should take advantage of you, you will retreat to reflect on the problem and protect yourself. As time passes by, you will usually find a way to respond in a positive way. Never would you seek revenge because you are not a vindictive person.
You are a good conversationalist and speak truthfully and to the point. Since you are a firm believer of justice, you become disappointed and hurt with those who carry on with hypocrisy or have hurt you unjustly. However, you are tolerant and kind enough to forgive others for their wrongs.
Always a loyal member of a committee or organization, you enjoy group activities and can be depended upon to help out at functions. You shine when you are at service to others, giving up your time for the good of others. This makes your colleagues and employers value you highly.
Unfortunately, you will come across people who will try to take advantage of you because you simply can't say "No."
Another trait of the boar is his ability to recover from setbacks. As a Boar person, you depend on your faith and strength of character to keep you going.

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.
Unlike the thrifty Rat, the Tiger is a spendthrift. Therefore as a Tiger, you are often overly generous in purchasing expensive gifts for others.
Luckily your commendable qualities far outweigh your weaknesses. You are almost certain to lead a fulfilling and satisfying life providing you keep your impulsive nature in check.

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.
