Water Snake Year 2013 The Chinese follow two calendars, Solar and Lunar. The Year of the Water Snake begins February 4, 2013 and follows the Solar calendar. This is the calendar most often used in Chinese Feng Shui and metaphysics. This is not to be confused with Chinese New Year which follows the Lunar calendar and will fall on Feb 10 and is on a different day each year.

Interesting. So the lunar calendar begins on the Aquarius New Moon. The first Lunar Month of the coming year? There is definitely some contradiction here between Chinese Astrologers if they are listing the change of the year sign and the change of the Lunar Month as the same thing. Is the Solar new year meant to be on February 4th each year?

"Rising" huh? What? That's Western terminology. Do you mean the hour sign? That adds complexity because you also need to take into account heavenly stem. I was dealing only with simple year horoscope. Are you sure you are a Wood Snake? Your picture tells me you are way way too young to be a Wood Snake, although Water Rabbit is separated from Wood Snake by two years. That puts you in the era of JFK, MLK and the Beatles and Elvis, which I doubt. Anyway, I am a Rabbit and my wife is a Monkey. It's supposed to be a disastrous combination. It works alright.

Chinese New Year is called the Lunar New Year for good reason. There's no Sun! Solar doesn't factor in. Chinese people looked at the Moon in the sky. who created Solar New Year? It is a Western concoction! Of course, Indians call Western astrology a joke too. So who knows. IP: Logged |

^^. There is an ultra high level of complexity that is not appreciated. We are discussing only the most trivial element, which is the year sign. The important one is the Day Master, and associated with that is an element, a heavenly stem with its own element, and either Yin or Yang energy. Now, extend that to Hour, Day, Month, Year and incorporate nuances for generation cycles. It is complex beyond belief. IP: Logged |

Hey, you're Chinese aren't you. Do Chinese people in general consider the new Animal year to be starting on the Lunar New Moon, at Chinese New Year. Or is the Animal year change at a slightly different date? Now I'm confused by this whole February 4th Solar Year thing. It makes it hard for those born in January and February to really know for sure what Year Animal they really are. IP: Logged |

So true. Real Chinese astrology is complex like Western is. I've explored Western, Vedic, and Chinese astrology. I think they all have something valid to offer. Numerology too. Western Astrology is the main one that I use, but I certainly don't discount the others. That's like those people that discount Western Astro without even exploring it, and seeing first hand how amazing it really is! It's like what Isaac Newton said, when Edmond Halley voiced negative comments about astrology... “Sir Halley, I have studied the matter, you have not!” IP: Logged |

Lotis White,The Chinese horoscope coincides with Lunar cycles, which are 28 days uniformly, unlike the Western calendar of 30/31 days with sometimes 28/29. That is inherently confusing to traditional Chinese thought. Remember that Chinese science began about 4000 years before Galileo and Copernicus. You look at a sky, you can see a full moon, and then a new moon, and then a larger crescent. Lo and behold, it's a full moon 28 days later. If I follow Western thinking, assuming no weather changes, looking at the Sun tells me nothing. So, animals for the year cycle begin precisely on each Chinese New Year and end the next. Those born as Capricorns and Aquariuses have a heck of a time figuring out what animal they are. Lol. For example, my eldest son is a Pig. Most of his classmates in school are Mice. IP: Logged |

The Rising Sign (Inner Companion) is very important, because it alters the main Sign. ------------------

Randall, Thanks. But this is completely different from the standard BaZi methodology that uses Day Master. IP: Logged |

Fire element suffers in the year of Water, which smothers Fire. It's intuitive. Snakes and Dragons match well. You'll have a mixed year. IP: Logged |
