Chinese Astrology: 5 Tips to Renew Your Wellbeing
There are many stories about the origin of Chinese astrology. The most whimsical is the “big race.” At that time, all the creatures on Earth took part in a race. Those who crossed the finish line first received one of the zodiac signs, and their names were determined according to where they were placed in the race.
The “big race” had its fair share of foul play. The winner of the race, the rat, won because he jumped on the ox and won by a nose. The dragon, tipped as the clear winner, came fifth because he stopped to help villagers caught in a flooding river.
Chinese astrology is more profound than what you see on the surface; the stories link to the astrological signs’ personality traits, whether honourable like the dragon or sneaky like the rat. The Chinese astrological signs and winners in order of the race are as follows. Ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, chicken, dog and pig.

Chinese Astrology 2022: Nurture your Emotions
In Chinese astrology, each astrological sign is associated with one of the five elements – earth, fire, water, wood, and metal. Each of these elements carries additional meanings. The water element connects to our emotional field; therefore, protecting our emotions is fundamental this year. To keep those pesky emotions in check, go with the flow of life like the gentle ripples of a free-flowing river. When agitation or even aggression erupts, bring your energy back to the calm river or the soft crashing of the ocean waves.
The Brave New You
The western astrological equivalent of the tiger is Aquarius, a fixed air sign ruled by the planet Uranus. You will find your local Aquarius fighting for humanitarian causes using their keen intellect, of course. The sign of Aquarius is not a sheep that follows the crowd, instead opting for new and radical ways of doing things. A Forward-thinking character that has no appreciation for outdated modes of working. Aquarius is a fixed sign, so they can be stubborn and, although sociable, need time alone to restore balance.
