Year of the Rabbit 1999 Dec 31st 2011, 11:04 Year of the Rabbit Introduction The Spring Festival or Chinese New Year is on Feb. 16. Please read the article I wrote last year for more information about Chinese New Year. As you know, this is the Year of the Rabbit or the 4697th Year based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Chinese name twelve animals representing 12 years in a cycle. It is noted that the twelve animals are closely associated with the Earthly Branches, Yin/Yang, and the Five Elements. This is summarized in the following table. Animal Branch Yin/Yang Hours Element Rat 1. Zi Yin 11pm - 1am Water Ox 2. Chou Yin 1am - 3am Earth Tiger 3. Yin Yang 3am - 5am Wood Hare 4. Mao Yin 5am - 7am Wood Dragon 5. Chen Yang 7am - 9am Metal Snake 6. Si Yang 9am - 11am Fire Horse 7. Wu Yang 11am - 1pm Fire Sheep 8. Wei Yang 1pm - 3pm Earth Monkey 9. Shen Yin 3pm - 5pm Metal Cock 10. You Yang 5pm - 7pm Metal Dog 11. Xu Yin 7pm - 9pm Earth Boar 12. Hai Yin 9pm - 11pm Water For an example, the Zi hour (11pm - 1am), is the Rat hour since the Rat is usually associated with the Yin element, such as darkness, stillness, and deceit. This is the opposite with the Wu hour (11am - 1pm) when the Yang reaches its highest point, so the horse is associated with the Wu as he is fast, robust, and swift. The cycle of the twelve animals may be used to tell the personalities and fortunes of a person born in a particular year and hour based on the table above. This practice has a long history and there are still many Chinese using it. The characteristics of the animals are summarized in the table here.
