About four thousand years ago, the Chinese horoscope appeared. According to him, the chronology was divided into twelve annual cycles and five elements or elements.
Change of signs of animals occurred every year. The year bore the name of the animal and the name of the element protecting it. Let's say: the year of the Metal Rabbit or the year of the Earth Ox.
Chinese reckoning
The full cycle of the calendar was 12 cycles × 5 elements, and only 60 years. The elements or elements changed every two years in a strict order: Wood, followed by Fire, then Earth, Metal, Water … To understand the principle of changing the elements, let's practice in the definition.
Take 2010. Which animal year preceded it according to the Eastern calendar?Let's look at a twelve-year cycle drawn as a circle with animal figures.
Two years under the sign of Earth - 2008 (Earth Rat) and 2009 (Earth Ox) - are replaced by two years under the sign of Metal - 2010 (Metal Tiger) and 2011 (Metal Rabbit).
The difference between predators, Dragon and Tiger, and herbivores, Sheep and Rabbit,It is visible at once - these animals are incompatible. The rest of the signs are so different: the Snake and the Monkey are smart and cunning, and the Horse and the Ox are hard workers, hard workers.

If 2009 is the year of the Earth element, then 2010 is the year of which animal? The answer is simple: Metal Tiger. It means thattigers are also earthen, fiery, wooden and water. Depending on the element. That is, a tiger born under the sign of the Earth, and a tiger born under the sign of Fire - these will be two different types.
Tiger King of Beasts
The horoscope of this animal speaks for itself. The tiger is a royal person among other animals. These are careerists who will always strive for power. It does not matter that not everyone will achieve the highest positions. Middle management positions are also an achievement. They love jobs where they can quickly move up the corporate ladder.
Tiger Warrior
Their destiny is a military uniform and battles with anyone and anything: the elements, enemies, criminals, diseases. Tigers are in the ranks of the police, military, paramedics and firefighters. They make revolutions and move the masses behind them. Tigers are conflicted and stubborn, but disinterested and capable of heroic deeds in the name of people. Tigers are one of those who can overthrow the legitimate government and break the age-old order.
They love extreme sports and can be both delinquents and commanders. The horoscope of the Tiger is deprived of a quiet life, but these are people of strong will and strong character, capable of feats.
Benevolent, fair, albeit quick-tempered - common features born in the year of the Tiger. The characterization is quite positive. Friends respect them and listen to their opinion.
What is written on the Tiger's paw?
The life of the Tiger, as a rule, is devoid of serenity and peace. This is the fate of a warrior and a fighter. Problems arising in life: material, housing,love and family - everything is up to the Tiger to decide. Tigers can be close with Horse, Dog and Dragon. He must avoid the clever and cunning Snakes and Monkeys and beware of the Bull, which is stronger than the Tiger and can always attack his eternal enemy. If the Ox and the Tiger are in the same house, then the Tiger always needs to leave quietly, "in English" in order to avoid conflicts. The Cat has the same dislike for the Tiger - they will never get along. So says the eastern horoscope. The Year of the Tiger is a chance for the brave and enterprising.
Tiger Fling
Tiger and Rat. The union is possible if the Rat begins to lie and dissemble less, and the Tiger becomes less stubborn. Although for this he will need incredible efforts, because this is the main characteristic of those born in the year of the Tiger.
Tiger with Bull. Marriage and friendship are impossible. Complete incompatibility. It is the same in business - their joint ventures are waiting for collapse and bankruptcy.
Tiger with Tiger. Marriage is not desirable. Everyone aspires to power. There will be constant conflicts. Friendship is possible.
Tiger and Rabbit. Marriage is not recommended. Friendship too. But in business they will complement each other well. The Rabbit is cautious, and the Tiger is bold and bold.
Tiger with Dragon. A very good union of strong signs. The dragon is reasonable and wise, they complement each other perfectly. The Dragon is the head, and the Tiger is the labor.
Tiger with Snake. Marriage is strongly discouraged. The snake is wise, and the Tiger is ambitious. They will never understand each other.
Tiger with a Horse. Normal relationship. And in marriage, and in friendship, andin business.
Tiger with Goat. Marriage with a Goat is undesirable and even dangerous. An angry Tiger is able to eat a poor Goat during quarrels. Friendship and business are possible.
Tiger with Monkey. Marriage is unlikely. Friendship may be, but so far it remains only friendship! Business is possible. The cunning of the Monkey and the strength of the Tiger will unite the efforts of both and make the common cause successful.
Tiger and Rooster are clearly incompatible. The Rooster is proud, and the Tiger is vain. The craving of both for power will destroy any of their relationships, even in love, even in business!
Tiger and Dog are compatible in marriage. Friendship is impossible. Business is acceptable in all activities except commerce and finance.
Tiger and Pig are good partners for marriage and for simple friendship. The pig is prudent, cautious, respects the Tiger. Business is also possible if the Tiger appreciates the partner.
Judging by the above descriptions, Tigers are not easy people, on the contrary, they are stubborn and tough, with a wayward character. Life for them is not rest and entertainment, but only a tool to achieve the goal, no matter what it will be - good or bad. A complex and impetuous beast, this tiger. The horoscope is just as striped.
Black and white stripes of the Year of the Tiger
The description of 2010 (under the sign of the metal Tiger) shows that it was a difficult and stressful period for people, associated with instability in all areas. These are economic crises and defaults, accidents and catastrophes along the lines of communication, strikes and layoffs at enterprises.
But along with the negative this year also broughta share of optimism: for hardworking and conscientious workers, this was a real chance to advance their careers and take worthy positions.
Sometimes they ask: “And if we take 2010, what animal qualities are typical for this period?” On the whole, this year contained the "revolutionary and reformist" Tiger and gave a chance to new businessmen and politicians to rise up and take the reins of government in their hands. Other political forces came to power, and new figures on the state Olympus declared themselves at the top of their voices. Construction projects on a national scale were actively implemented in business life: Olympic facilities were being built in Sochi and preparations were underway for EURO 2012, both in Russia and Ukraine.
Ambitiousness and rivalry, the desire to overtake and lead, to become better and richer than the rest, slimmer and more beautiful than others - all these aspirations were awakened in people by the turbulent but progressive Year of the Tiger. The characteristics of other aspects of human life were about the same. There was a struggle for love, power, money and a place under the sun in general.
Thus, the year of the Tiger gives a chance to young, energetic, enterprising people to prove themselves and take their rightful place in life in our troubled world.
"Royal" Tigers
I. Grozny, Marx, Robespierre, Beethoven, Hegel, D. Donskoy, K. Chapek, Kropotkin, Romain Rolland, Eisenhower, Ho Chi Minh, Charles de Gaulle, Wrangel, V. Molotov, Yu. Andropov, M. Suslov - people born in the year of the Tiger. The list is quite impressive.
Summing up, I would like to try to predict the future using the example of 2010. Which animal year according to the eastern calendar will be next, and what, given the influence of the elements, presumably it will be?
Now you already know…
