There is no denying of the patent fact that people consider Chinese horoscope as an art. The basic idea of Chinese horoscope is to help people get their objectives via self awareness and continuous advances of the mind and spirit. Like western astrology, the Chinese horoscope is used to decide a persons health, career course, likes and dislikes, compatibility with other person, luck attraction and many other different things. Chinese Horoscope is based on the conventional astronomy and calendars.
Chinese Horoscope does not compute the positions of the sun, moon and planets at the time of birth. The development of Chinese horoscope is tied to that of astronomy, which came to thrive during the Han Dynasty. It is a fact that Chinese horoscope is composed of a twelve year cycle which has twelve animals to represent every year, they are better termed as the Chinese Zodiacs. The twelve animals of which the Chinese horoscope is composed of are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig, arranged always in this order. The ideal genesis of the twelve animal systems is still not known. But there is a tale behind its origination that is the Jade King was not doing anything and was feeling uninterested. He did not know what was happening on Earth, because he had servants satisfying his each wish. He decided that he wanted to see the animals that live the earth so he sent word to his advisers to bring him twelve animals.
