Do you know that this year, 2014 is the year of the horse? Last year was the year of the snake and 2015 will be the year of the sheep. The new year differs on the Chinese Zodiac calendar from the Gregorian calendar (the Gregorian calendar is the western or Christian calendar that is widely used by many worldwide). According to the Chinese Zodiac, the new year would begin depending on the animal that is associated with it. For example, 2014 is the year of the horse and started on January 31st and will end on February 18th 2015.
The animal year when a person was born is called his/her Benming Niam. The animal for each year carries a significance. For example, I was born in the year 1983 and that year was not only the year of the pig but also known as the year of the water pig. The pig is the last animal sign of the Chinese Zodiac. Lucky numbers, colours and even flowers are paired with certain animals according to the Chinese Zodiac. Many traits, personality types and a variety of attributes are given to each person depending on the year that they were born and the animal that represents that year. Certain careers are even attributed to the year a person is born.
According to the Zodiac, because I was born in 1983, it said that I would do well in certain people based careers such as teaching, social work, Public Relations and several artistic fields. It even went on to say that I could possibly find massive success as an entertainer in the form of actor or singer. However, keep in mind that, just like regular horoscopes most people are aware of, the Chinese Zodiac may not be an exact Science. I find it quite fun to research information like this and I do agree with these findings to some extent simply because I discovered several years ago that I am an extremely creative person and I truly love working in various artistic fields.
