Chinese Astrology, Seasons, Months, Days 1 by duan According to a Chinese Astrology interpretation, the twelve Chinese signs are associated with years, seasons and months. Here are the twelve animals, their favorable month and the associated season of the year: Rat: Winter | December Ox: Winter | January Tiger: Winter | February Rabbit: Spring | March Dragon: Spring | April Snake: Spring | May Horse: Summer | June Sheep: Summer | July Monkey: Summer | August Rooster: Autumn | September Dog: Autumn | October Pig: Autumn | November Animals are very active during their favorable month and season. All their attributes and characteristics are far more obvious and bold during their associated month. Chinese signs rule over days of the week too: Rat: Thursday Ox: Saturday Tiger: Saturday Rabbit: Friday Dragon: Tuesday Snake: Friday Horse: Wednesday Sheep: Monday Monkey: Sunday Rooster: Saturday Dog: Friday Pig: Thursday So the twelve Chinese Horoscope signs rule over years, seasons, months, days. They also rule over hours of the day. I will present hour categorization in another post. When an animal rules over a year it is more powerful than when it rules over a season or month. When an animal rules over a month or season it is more powerful than when it rules over a day. Let's see how this works: Let's say its Monday. July 28, 2008 Let's find the rulers for this day.. Year 2008 is ruled by the Rat. It is Summer and the rulers for this season are the Horse, the Sheep and the Monkey. It is July so the ruler for this month is the Sheep. It is Monday and the ruler for this day is the Sheep. So this day (28/7/2008) is ruled by: - The Rat which is the most powerful ruler since it rulers over the year. - The Sheep which follows as a ruler of the month and the specific date. - The Horse and the Monkey which are less powerful during that date, since they are season rulers.
