Chinese Astrology is LYING to You

Chinese Astrology is LYING to You

It’s that time of the year when you can go to any mall and find out how your year is going to go if you just find the animal that corresponds with your birth year. Sometimes you walk around thinking “oh my god I’m about to have a great year” then you go to another mall and they tell you, “your health is going to be horrible, you’re going to be single for life and don’t even bother trying to get a job” and you’re wondering which one you should believe.


Let me help you out with that….you believe NEITHER. Chiense Zodiac forecasts are wildly inaccurate. How many times have you read your zodiac and been scared/excited then when it happens you’re like “OMG THEY WERE RIGHT” and you stay on the lookout for all the bad things they said were gonna happen. Is that not essentially just confirmation bias. Just because you see it everywhere, it doesn't mean it’s right. You see everyone going back to their cheating exes but that doesn’t make it right now does it? Also, if you think about it logically, how is every horse in the world going to experience the same thing? 

So why are these Chinese Zodiacs innacurate? Well it’s because not every Horse is going to go through the same thing. Many other factors come into play such as elements and birthdays. Let’s start first with the elements. There are 5 elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water It’s your zodiac year once every 12 years and it’s element is different each time. For example, this year is the year of the fire horse and in 2002, it was the year of the water horse. Each element dictates your destiny and actually determines how the year is going to affect you.

For example, if you’re a water horse in the year of the wood horse, you may feel exhausted, stressed and out of energy because wood drains water. The control cycle (challenging) goes like this:
  • Wood controls earth
  • Earth controls water
  • Water controls fire
  • Fire controls metal
  • Metal controls wood

And the generating cycle goes like this (supportive):
  • Wood feeds fire
  • Fire feeds earth
  • Earth feeds metal
  • Metal feeds water
  • Water feeds wood

I know, it sounds really technical so I’m not going to bore you with all the detils that you probably won’t understand. Real chinese astrology is about balance. Pull out your BaZi chart and you’ll see that your chart already has strong, weak and missing elements. 

But I understand that all this might be too much info to take in and you don't care. You just want to know how the rest of your year is going to go aren't you? You can always turn to your trusty friend, tarot. HOWEVER, it's essential to note that while tarot can generally tell you how the rest of your year might go, things are bound to change because tarot isn't set in stone.  You decide how your year is going to go. Not tarot, not Chinese astrology at malls. You.
