Chinese Astrology: An ancient viewpoint on temperament and personality.
The Chinese lunar calendar has a sixty year cycle. According to the Chinese horoscope, The 60-year cycle consists of two separate cycles combining with each other. The first is the cycle of ten heavenly stems referred to as the Five Elements which make up all matter (in order the elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) in their Yin and Yang forms. The second is the cycle of the twelve Zodiac animal signs or Earthly Branches.
The current cycle began in the year 1984.

Eastern Astrology Differs from Western
Eastern astrology differs from western astrology in that it's not so much a predictive science, as a practical philosophy and interpretive art. It's about the fascinating characteristics and possibilities which your birth year has bestowed upon you, to help you define your character traits and fundamental nature.With this basic understanding of yourself and those around you, you have an excellent chance at directing and molding your own destiny & life choices.

2007 Year of the Fire Pig!
February 18, 2007 through February 6, 2008
Finishing touches, tying up loose ends, last stands, curtain calls and closures will be the urging of the year. So, prepare to finish projects, complete goals and even say some goodbyes. Put your ducks in a row, cross your T's and dot your I's in 2007 and the proper Pig will be gracious to you.
Pig years are known for their respite from strife, patience and passivity, content to live and let live.
All things that occur this year can be looked on as closing or final conclusions in some way. An auspicious year to complete projects, bring projects to fruition or arrive safely after completing a long life journey.
Pace yourself during this Fire year to avoid burnout and try not to keep such a hurried pace. Add the Earth element to your life and home to sooth frazzled nerves, slow down and facilitate relaxation. Gardening, working with clay or pottery, sharing time with your animals and all manner of worship/church/temple or meditative practices will increase the Earth element in your life.
