In China, the beginning of every year falls between late January and early February, and is marked by an animal sign of the Chinese zodiac that is repeated every twelve years. Each year is given a different animal sign as a way of counting the years. The years are scheduled according to the lunar cycles of the moon as compared to the solar-based calendars of the West. Since 1911, the Chinese have adopted the solar calendar and use it alongside the lunar calendar for holidays. Many Chinese calendars have both solar and lunar dates printed on them.
Which Zodiac Animal Are You?
Find your year of birth in the chart above and see which zodiac animal it represents. Read below to discover the commonly believed character traits and jewelry/gemstone preferences of each Chinese zodiac animal. Each day I will post a new animal until I go through all of them.
Previous Post was The Rat, The Bull, The Tiger, The Rabbit, The Dragon, and The Snake, now lets look at The Horse:
Horses reveal an independent, self-assured and highly motivated character. Intelligent, fashionable and articulate, they set out to achieve recognition for their talent and unique skills. They are devoted to their family, home and work but aren't afraid to cut loose and get a little crazy when the time calls for it. Even in the face of a crisis, Horses will push forward, using their tremendous inner strength to see things through.
Horses are delighted by free-styled jewelry designs featuring topaz, Crazy Horse™ stone, morganite and smoky quartz gemstone beads.
Please visit my website to discover jewelry preferences for the horse.
