And why do so many people want a Chinese calendar?

That's the questions I asked myself numerous times after doing more than a fair share of eye watering, late night, caffeine induced calendar research. It was driving me crazy too.

What I realized was that... it was no longer who wanted a Chinese calendar, but...

Who didn't want one!

Sheesh. What were those Chinese emperors on about?

Let's see... take some Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, add a healthy dose of dragons, giant fish, mythical birds, and a great flood or two...

And sit back and watch as it fuses into a whole new Dynasty...

Anyway... we know the Chinese were on to something good.

Maybe the fact that China is one of the world's oldest continuous civilizations, or that their history dates way back to the 16th century BC, might have something to do with it.

And, if you like history, you'd be happy to know Homo erectus was inhabiting mainland China more than a million cool years ago too. You may recall a specimen called 'Peking Man?' Same family.

These advanced dudes went on to evolve rapidly from hunter gatherers to farmers...

And they might even turn out to be world leaders in the very near future too.

But How Can Chinese Astrology Help You?

Well, when you dive into Chinese astrology you're really touching on 'life' experience... A few hundred years of life experience, plus a few opium wars, long marches and way too much more to mention here.

You'll discover a lot of this life experience in the Chinese-calendar... even though nowadays it's really more used for marking traditional Chinese holidays, such as the Chinese New Year...

And you see all those years make for calendars that never cease to amaze us.

Not to mention calendars that are pretty helpful too.

So...
