How Much Fun Is The
Chinese Zodiac Calendar Really?
Looking for a Chinese zodiac calendar?
Have you even been to a Chinese restaurant that had paper placemats with a funny looking Chinese zodiac printed on them?
So what usually happens is that everyone at the table looks up their birth year to discover what animal they are. Then they might even read aloud the attributes to that animal.
You can be appalled to find out you're a rat (for example), but really the Chinese zodiac calendar is just to be taken lightheartedly. And you'll be be secretly delighted I'm sure!
Actually, you might even discover you're a tenacious and ruthless rat, a hardworking and demanding ox, an impulsive and daring tiger or a gracious, superficial rabbit too!
On the other hand...
You might be a pig, dog, rooster, monkey, ram, horse, snake or dragon. So in additional to discovering your wicked personality traits (sorry), you can also look up the signs you are compatible with and see who might rub you the wrong way.
All in all though, the Chinese calendar is a load of fun! If you want to find out now what sign you are right now, try visiting this resource. It'll hand you a personal forecast with everything from astrology love matching to the Diary of Destiny. Maybe I should read that!
You can also see what some of the Chinese calendars look like and admire the style. Spend a few minutes and enter your birth date for a free mini soul scope reading. That'll get you an impressive 12 page report with the planetary positions and house cusp positions, planetary aspects and analysis. Nice...
2010 is the year of the Tiger and from the same site mentioned above you can find out how YOU will fare this coming year! Year of the Tiger of course means that anyone born during the year 2010 will in fact, always and forever remain a Tiger according to the Chinese zodiac-calendar.
Chinese zodiac calendars themselves come in countless designs. Visualize the zodiac calendar as a round, colorful wheel resembling something between a dartboard and a clock, with the clock numbers substituted for animals. (See some of the pics on this page).
Even easier, picture a large pre-sliced pizza to visualize the circular zodiac calendar. They can be quite beautiful. (And tasty too - Sorry!)
The Chinese calendars also may come in standard, grid-like formats which aren't always attractive, but are easy to reference. Because there is not a lot of data in the Chinese Zodiac, usually one page is enough to contain the essential information and still have room for graphics. 12 symbols are needed, with a description plus about 120 year dates. For this reason, a Chinese zodiac calendar make for an excellent poster.
Maybe you'll like the Chinese zodiac paper placemat idea. If this idea sounds appealing, check out the options on the right. The zodiac placemats make for great dinner table conversation too!
