♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 [align=center]Well, I just had my mother tell me more about the Chinese zodiacs, and she explained the five affinities(?) to me. I have no idea if they're called affinities, but whatever. Basically, it talks about growth, and the opposite of it (not decay, that's science). It goes in a circle: Water > Wood > Fire > Ground > Gold > Repeat That is growth. Water feeds wood, wood causes fire, fires burn stuff till it becomes plain ground, and I have no idea how ground becomes gold, but I guess you dig it up. And even more so, I have no idea how gold becomes water. I guess you buy it. Then we have the opposite, which is more important. The stuff that frowns upon the other. Which affects everything in the Chinese zodiac system. Water > Fire > Gold > Wood > Ground > Repeat Water stops fire, fire melts gold I guess, gold buys out the wood, wood covers the ground, and ground can have landslides onto water. I dunno. Some sh*t like that. Anyways, with this in place, we can figure out which zodiacs screw over which other ones, and which zodiacs help and work with others. Here's a current list of the zodiacs and their affinities(?) in alphabetical order: Bull - WaterChicken - GoldDog - GroundDragon - GroundGoat - GroundHorse - FireMonkey - GoldMouse - Fire(?)Pig - WaterRabbit - WoodSnake - FireTiger - Water Yeah, my mother forgot which one the mouse was, so if you know, tell me and I'll edit it. She thinks it's fire, though. Now, finding your zodiac, you can figure out which other zodiac people you can't work with, and which ones you'll work well with. Tell me what you find out about yourself ^^. And for those of you who are totally interested about me, I'm a monkey, and my affinity's(?) gold. I help water and gold people, and I go ebil on wood people >=3. Which isn't much.[/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm the sheep/ram. So that would closely according to that be the Goat.But at the same time, the same website said that it's Metal not Gold. And that my element is Metal.Which according to the same site, actually defines me quite well. Source: http://chinese.astrology.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Metal = Gold. It's the same damn word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Gold by nature, and how people use it is FAR from what Metal is.They are also used vastly differently. Eh. I'm gonna agree to disagree here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Sweet, I'm a rat, but you listed it as mouse, and I'm fire. Kind of awkward, really, because from my horoscope [scorpio], my element is water. Guess I balance myself out~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Like I said, mouse/rat was the only one my mother isn't quite too sure about, because of all these years. She's guessing it's fire, though. And I know that gold isn't metal. But the English people consider the word to be that. Chinese people would know the difference. Heck, even I don't know why people think that gold is metal. I'd prefer it stay gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amethyst Phoenix Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Here's the page I got when I calculated my zodiac. http://www.chinesezodiac.com/rooster.php My elemental sign is: Water Rooster Water has a calming effect on this Rooster. Water Roosters don’t feel the need to rise above the crowd and their communication skills are more refined. Forever energetic and extremely detail-oriented, these Roosters can benefit from staying more focused on the end result rather than the minute details.
