According to legend, the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from Earth.
Only twelve came to bid him farewell. As a reward he named a year after each one in the order that they arrived.
First to arrive was the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep. Followed then by, the Monkey, the Rooster, Dog, and Boar.
The twelve animals we have today.
The animal ruling the year in which you were born exercises an influence on your life. The Chinese say
This is the animal that hides in your Heart’

1st in the door at Buda’s farewell party, The Rat
The Rat year is a year of plenty, bringing opportunity and good prospects. It will be marked by speculation and fluctuation in the prices of commodities and the stock markets, the world economy in general will boom. Business will be on the upswing, fortunes can be made and it will be a time to accumulate wealth. However this is also the time for making long-term investment plans as the bonanza of the Rat year prepares all for the bleak years that may follow. All ventures begun at this time should be fruitful if one prepares well. But do not take chances or unnecessary risks: the year of the Rat is still ruled by the coldness of winter and the darkness of night. Those who speculate indiscriminately and overextend themselves will come to a sad reckoning.
On the whole, this will be a happier year than most: free from the destruction of pointless wars and with fewer catastrophes than, say, the Tiger or the Dragon years.
Nonetheless, it will be varied in its nature as life brings, bickering, discussing, disagreeing’ agreeing ‘throwing the toys out of the pram’ resolution, compromise, common consensus, sadness, happiness, open-mindedness and all .
A congenial way forward! (Extracts taken from T Lau, Chinese Horoscope Handbook)

....additional info...
During the 60 year cycle each of the animal signs I combined with five main elements: Wood, governed by the Planet Jupiter; Fire, by Mars; Earth by Saturn; Gold or Metal, by the Planet Venus; and Water by Mercury. These 5 elements are further split into magnetic poles, Positive and negative which the Chinese call Yin Yang.
In the Lunar calendar, the day begins at 11 P.M. and twenty-four hours are divided into twelve segments of two hours. Each section is ruled by one of the animal signs
Since ancient times the Chinese have as ascribed the source of all movement of matter, and all of life’s force, holding to the constant, and to balance equally the pull of negative vis a vie the positive sides of energy. This they call Yin and Yang. Like the ripples in a pond when you drop a pebble into it.
Yin Yang attributes: Yin Is Dark; and Yang is Light; Yin is Female and Yang is Male; Yin is Passive and Yang is Active; Yin is the Moon Yang is the Sun; Yin is the Rain and Yang is the Sunshine; Yin is the odd number, Yang is the Even; Yin is the Earth, and Yang is the Heavens; Yin is the Water, and Yang is the Mountains; Yin is Winter, Yang is Summer; Yin is Cold and Yang is Hot; Yin is the Tiger and Yang is the Dragon; Yin is the pond , Yang is the Ripples.
The Yin and Yang are embodied in the Chinese symbol for T’ai Chi
I Ching, T’ai chi, Feng Shui, Chinese Astrology, a Chinese system of food cures’ and how to balance the Yin & Yan in the food you eat.
To get to the ninja/sage status much reading and study must be undertaken ‘grasshopper’Tao the absolute truth
There is plethora of internet sites offering information on Chinese philosophy promoting wellbeing.
Our forecast for the year ahead is more built around an overview summarized vision.
