and will rush to help any victim.
There
are twelve Chinese year signs in the Chinese Zodiac. Unlike in our western
astrology, in Chinese astrology each sign lasts for a year. Legend has it that
as Buddha was about to depart the earth he summoned all the animals to say
goodbye. Only twelve turned up so, to show his appreciation of their loyalty, he
vowed that from then on each year would bear the name of one of the
animals.
Chinese astrology is based on the Lunar Calendar. This means the
Chinese New Year does not fall on the same day each year and can vary by as much
as 3 weeks. So for babies born in late January/early February it is necessary to
consult the charts to determine the correct
sign.
