With only around 30 days left in the year of the Monkey.
2016 was a "Year of the Monkey" for sure!
With Carrier Fisher passing and her mother dying less than 24 hours later.
I thought I would share this story and prepare you for the year of the "Cock" or "Rooster" in the case of 2017.
2017 Is a (Fire) Rooster Year
Starting from January 28th, and ending on February 15th, 2018
2016 was the Year of the (Fire) Monkey, If it could go wrong, it probably did.
Five Types of Monkey— 2016 was a Fire Monkey Year
Five Elements Theory, each year is associated with Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. As well as an animal. Monkey years of each element come once in a 60-year cycle with their own characteristics.
2016 was a Fire Monkey year, So if you thought 2016 was a wild ride! We will not see another (Fire) Monkey Year until 2076. But in 2028 is the Year of the Monkey (Earth)
12 Chinese Zodiac animals are in a fixed order Yin and Yang Theory and perceived attributes.
The yin or the yang of the animals is defined based on the odd or even number of their claws (or toes, hoofs). The animals are then arranged in an alternating (complementary) yin-yang sequence.
| Zodiac Animal | Toes Per Limb | Odd/Even | Yin/Yang |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rat | 4 front; 5 back | (even and) odd | (yin and) yang |
| Ox | 4 | even | yin |
| Tiger | 5 | odd | yang |
| Rabbit | 4 | even | yin |
| Dragon | 5 | odd | yang |
| Snake | 0 | even | yin |
| Horse | 1 | odd | yang |
| Goat | 4 | even | yin |
| Monkey | 5 | odd | yang |
| Rooster | 4 | even | yin |
| Dog | 5 | odd | yang |
| Pig | 4 | even | yin |
Usually an animal has is the same number of claws on its front and rear legs. However the rat has four toes on its fore legs and five on its hind legs. As the old saying goes, “a thing is valued in proportion to its rarity”, so the Rat ranks first of the 12 zodiac animals. It uniquely combines the attributes of odd (yang) and even (yin). 4+5=9, and yang is dominant, so the Rat is classified as odd (yang) overall.
The time you are born adds greatly to your overall real sign. Person’s personality and life traitsare more decided by his/her birth "hour" rather than birth year only. The zodiac hour method is widely used for character charting and life destiny analysis.
