In Chinese Horoscope
fortune, the 12 signs of the zodiac are not for the positions of the
celestial bodies in the sky, but on the celestial equator. In Chinese
astrology the signs correspond to one of the two sets of 12 hours in a day
and also to one of the 12 months. Each year is governed by a sign and
combines with a system that is based on 5 elements of Chinese cosmology,
which gives rise to a cycle of 60 years.
Birth Chart
Birth Chart is the map of the Sun, the Moon and the planets at the exact
place and moment of birth. For simplification, only these heavenly bodies
are included in the birth chart, though one can also include other
heavenly bodies like asteroids and stars. Exclusion of the stars and
asteroids does not invalidate astrology. The principle behind creating a
birth chart is that a person is said to possess qualities according to the
time he/she is born. It is our astrological portrait that tells us of our
highest potentials and symbolically represents our psyche (Ref:
Chinese Zodiac Online).
The Elements
The entire universe constitutes of 4 elements, namely fire, water, air and
earth. These elements represent certain traits and when applied to
personalities, give them a certain ¡§temperament¡¨. This temperament is
variable as it depends upon the emphasis or non emphasis of elements in
our horoscope. People who have a strong emphasis of fire element are
impulsive and spontaneous. Their emotional response is fast and they
exercise their energies wholeheartedly and have quite a lively
imagination. Zodiac signs (Online
Chinese Astrology) that fall under this element are Aries,
Sagittarius and Leo. People who fall under the Air element are animated
and quick. Their energies are applied in diverse ways. They have a
tendency to intellectualize their expectations and feelings. Aquarius,
Libra and Gemini zodiacs fall under this element. People who have a strong
emphasis of Water element are very sensitive and are the ¡¥feeling¡¦ type.
They have rich and deep emotional and imaginative lives. Cancer, Pisces
and Scorpio have a strong emphasis of Water element. People who have a
strong emphasis of Earth element react slowly and quietly. They have great
level of endurance. They are deeply rooted emotionally and hence change
very slowly. Zodiac signs Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo have strong Earth
emphasis.
The four elements have three states or qualities each called the fixed,
the mutable and the cardinal states. For an analogy, water in it liquid
form will be in its cardinal state, in ice form will be in its fixed state
and in its vapor form will be in mutable state. Aries, Libra, Capricorn
and Cancer come under Cardinal signs. They are initiators as they have an
urge to shape up things. Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus come under
fixed signs. They build on what is already there and make it more
organized. Sagittarius, Pieces, Virgo and Gemini are Mutable signs. They
change things and their actions change with the unfolding process
The Zodiacs
There are 12 sun signs and each belongs to an element in one of its forms.
Thus emerges the figure of ¡¥12¡¦ signs. There can not be a pure Scorpio or
a pure Libra as each person has a horoscope with different positions of
the heavenly bodies. Each horoscope is very unique and complex. To
understand each sign properly we also need to take an account of its
elemental qualities and also the characteristics of the planets to which
each one of them belongs.
Aries is a cardinal Fire sign that is ruled by Mars. Taurus is a fixed
Earth sign that is ruled by Venus. Gemini is a mutable Air sign ruled by
Mercury. Cancer is a cardinal Water sign ruled by Moon. Leo is a fixed
Fire sign ruled by the Sun. Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign ruled by
Mercury. Libra is a cardinal Air sign ruled by Venus. Scorpio is a fixed
Water sign ruled by Pluto. Sagittarius is a mutable Fire sign ruled by
Jupiter. Capricorn is a cardinal Earth sign ruled by Saturn. Aquarius is a
fixed Air sign ruled by Uranus. Pisces is a mutable Water sign ruled by
Neptune.
The Houses
The horoscope is divided in to a number of houses, usually 12. The
position of these houses depends on location and time of birth more,
rather than the date of birth. They represent the different spheres of
life. These spheres can be described in terms of personal experiences in
life as well as physical surroundings. In the chart, the position of a
zodiac sign or planet in a house determines to a large extent how a
personal planet will act in an area or phase of life, and also the
activities on which its force needs to be exerted.

Fortune Telling
(Chinese Fortune Telling):
Since ancient times man has strived to search out the unknown. His pursuit
of knowledge of the future has led to the creation of many different methods
of fortune telling such as astrology, numerology, I - ching, crystallomancy
(reading of a crystal ball), palmistry (chiromancy), as well as psychic
readings to mention but a few. Fortune-telling is defined as the practice of
predicting the future, usually of an individual, through mystical or
supernatural means.
How do the more popular forms of fortune telling differ?
Astrology requires an accurate time, place and date of birth of the
concerned person, their name is also of help. From these details, the
horoscope chart prevalent at that exact point in time, at that particular
location is cast. Applying the laws of astrology, allows an astrologer to
make predictions about the future depending on the position of different
planets, their characteristics and the transits that will pass. Tarot card
readings, involve the user drawing his or her choice of cards from the pack.
The tarot reader is then required to use their psychic ability to interpret
card meanings and thus divine the future. Even the most accomplished tarot
card readers find it difficult to objectively interpret their own cards and
therefore rely on others to make readings for them. Psychic readings are
solely reliant on the intuitive powers of the reader. Psychic ability is a
power that has to be developed through practice and is categorised as an
extra-sensory ability, also known as ESP (Extra Sensory Perception). This
also includes clairvoyance and precognition. Discerning a genuine psychic
from a fraud is the greatest limitation of this method of fortune telling.
Fortune Telling from the Cards
It is impossible to trace the prehistoric beginnings of cardlore, as
divination by the cards is of great antiquity. One theory holds that Europe
obtained playing cards from the East, notably India and China after the
invention of paper. Indian cards have many distinctive elements, such as
being round, being generally hand painted with intricate designs and
comprising more than four suits (often as many as twelve). Ancient Chinese
"money cards" have four "suits": coins (or cash), strings of coins (which
may have been misinterpreted as sticks from crude drawings), myriads of
strings, and tens of myriads. These were represented by ideograms, with
numerals of 2-9 in the first three suits and numerals 1-9 in the "tens of
myriads". The first cards may have been actual paper currency which were
both the tools of gaming and the stakes being played for. The designs on
modern Mahjong tiles and dominoes likely evolved from those earliest playing
cards. The Chinese word p'ai is used to describe both paper cards and gaming
tiles. Another theory separates the cards of the West entirely from those of
the East and holds that Western cards originated in northern Italy early in
the 15th century (1420-1440). While in medieval Holland, the Dutch invented
a game called "ik ben de meester van het heelal" which means "I am the
master of the Universe". This was followed by the introduction of a similar
Italian made a game called "soro il padorone dell'universo" which means
"Master of the Universe".
Tarot Cards & Divination
The earliest cards found in Europe were the Tarot. These symbolical
numerical cards forming a Pack of 78 are the immediate predecessors of our
own modern day playing cards. The first tarot cards were lavish hand-painted
decks from the courts of the nobility. Originally the cards were called
carte da trionfi (cards of the triumphs). Around 1530 (about 100 years after
the origin of the cards), the word tarocchi (singular tarocco) begins to be
used to distinguish them from a new game of triumphs or trumps then being
played with ordinary playing cards. The word Tarot is believed to have been
derived from tarotee, meaning cross, in reference to the diagonally crossed
lines on the rear of the early cards. Since the 1700s tarot cards have been
widely used for fortune telling and divination of the future, and it is also
linked by many occult and hermetic authors to a mystical system of Hebrew
Cabbala, (also Kaballah and Qabala) even ancient Egyptian spiritual beliefs.
Divination of the future from the tarot deck is in fact, credited mainly to
the Jewish astrologer and cabbalist, Jacque Gringonneur. Just like
contemporary playing cards, the tarot deck also consists of four suits,
namely Cups, Wands, Swords and Pentacles.
The oldest surviving tarot cards are three mid-15th century sets all made
for members of the Visconti family, rulers of Milan. The oldest existing
tarot deck was painted to celebrate a mid-15th century wedding joining the
ruling Visconti and Sforza families of Milan, probably painted by Bonifacio
Bembo and other miniaturists of the Ferrara school. 35 of the cards are now
in the Pierpont Morgan Library, New York. Of the original cards, 35 are in
the Pierpont-Morgan Library, 26 cards are at the Accademia Carrara, 13 are
at the Casa Colleoni, 4 cards being lost (the Devil, the Tower, the Three of
Swords, and the Knight of Coins). This "Visconti-Sforza" deck, which has
been widely reproduced in varying quality, combines the Minor Arcana (the
original suits of (Swords, Wands, Pentacles & Cups, and face cards King,
Queen, Knave and Page) with Major Arcana that apparently combine already
traditional iconography with considerable artistic license, a sign that the
original significance of the designs was already lost. More simply-drawn
decks survive from Marseilles, France, from the early 16th century.
Chinese Horoscope Fortune telling is related to
the movement of heavenly bodies across the Chinese constellations in the sky
and individual Ba Zi (the birth date and time). These interactions with each
other will affect the whole world as well as individual destiny from time to
time. Chinese believe the horoscope can reveal or anticipate the vital
effect of the nature that can affect both destiny of the world and per
person. If you have high horoscope compatibility with the environment, you
can be synergized by the outer forces and can have better luck and
achievement.
The Chinese fortune teller or Feng Shui master can provide horoscope
readings with prediction and analysis of once destiny or fortune in past and
in future. Sometimes, such Chinese fortune telling is refer to numerology
since such fortune readings are made by complicated calculations based on
one' birth date and time, the predication period and he fortune telling
making time.
The Chinese Horoscope is also referred to Chinese Astrology which is based
on the constellation in different time and seasons. Some fortune tellers
they can provide love compatibility, love test and horoscope match fortune
as well as Feng Shui telling readings. Sometimes, these Chinese horoscope
fortune telling can be considered as psychic readings since some people will
think they can help the person to know more about themselves. Also, based on
the birth year, twelve years as a cycle, an animal will be as assigned to
everyone as their Chinless Zodiac. The twelve zodiac animal signs are, in
order, the mouse, ox (buffalo), tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep
(or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.
