What does the eastern horoscope testify to?
In astrology, there are several global systems - eastern and western. The western direction is a prototype of classical astrology. It is based on the rotation of the Earth around the Sun, in accordance with which the year is divided into 12 signs of the zodiac.
The eastern direction is most popular in China, Japan, Mongolia, Indonesia. It is based on the observation of the phases of Jupiter and the Moon. The eastern cycle is an alternation of 12 lunar years. Each year symbolizes a certain animal.
The Chinese horoscope is considered the embodiment of Chinese wisdom, accumulated for millennia. In the East, it is believed that the "animal" that controls the year of birth has a significant impact on the fate of man. However, this influence is not so noticeable, so for a start you should study the characteristics of your zodiac sign, and only then supplement them with information from the eastern horoscope. As they say in China, the "animal" is hiding in your heart."
According to some eastern astrologers, the Chinese horoscope is in some way connected with social psychology and social behavior of a person. It demonstrates how the environment can perceive one or another person, how individuals can realize themselves in society and what behavior style should be chosen.
