A Quick Overview: Chinese Astrology Compatibility With Universal Astrology

Article Category: Society

Author Name: James Tien

For those who know and understand astrology as a human interpretation of how the stars and planets affect life on earth, they have become accustomed to viewing their own astrological signs in the form of a symbol. In Chinese astrology compatibility of symbols, to universal astrology symbols, isn't derived from the same astrological wheel that universal astrology students are familiar with.

The basic principles of both universal and Chinese astrology are to identify personality traits based on the timing of a person's birth. For example, one may be a Virgo on the wheel of the universal astrological zodiac, but may actually be symbolized as a 'pig', instead of a virgin or a maiden, because of the lunar year they were born. Viewing oneself as a maiden is one thing, but then finding out that one is a 'pig' can be a bit disconcerting.

In Occidental cultures, a pig isn't exactly viewed as the most honorable of animals. Yet in Chinese astrology, a 'pig' is considered quite honorable indeed. This example illustrates a simple yet stark difference between the symbolism attached to Chinese astrology and that of universal astrology.

Whether or not the two forms of astrology actually belong together is unclear. They each have their own unique view of time and space and each form has the ability to bring value to individual lives by helping people identify their personality traits. While people not familiar with either form of astrology may laugh at the idea that astrology, in any form, has the ability to predict the future, students of astrology know that the essence of its value is to provide insight into one's self.

For instance, February 3, 2011 to January 22, 2012, will be the Year of the Wood Rabbit. It comes after the Year of the Metal Tiger. Yet the year 2011 is also depicted as a 'metal' year. As you can probably guess at this point, the symbolism attached to Chinese astrology differs widely from universal astrology and requires a little more research to understand completely. What does it mean to be a 'wood rabbit' born in a 'metal year'?

Chinese astrology is as complex as universal astrology, but even though so much has been written about it, many people have yet to understand its full complexity. As with universal astrology, simple symbols tend to define certain characteristics of persons born under a certain 'sign', yet in order to completely understand the deep value that can be derived from either forms of astrology, a person must become a student for many years.

While Occidental astrology also uses longer periods of time, known as 'transits', to interpret the comings and goings of people and events here on earth, clearly defining and illustrating Chinese astrology compatibility to Occidental astrology is an ongoing practice. Just as we use information that is century's old in our view of astrology today, it is not unlikely that by studying each form of astrology, we will be supplying future generations with vital research that may make it easier for them to understand themselves at a deeper and more meaningful level.
