Chinese horoscope and lucky numbers.

At the foundation of the Chinese horoscope there are 5 elements: fire, water, metal, wood and earth, also a cycle of 12 years.

Each year of the Chinese horoscope is associated with a certain animal. Such horoscopes are popular not only in China, but also in Korea, Vietnam, Japan and Thailand.

The roots of the Chinese horoscope reach far back into ancient times. There are two versions of why the Chinese horoscope has survived to this day and looks exactly like that.

Even in the distant 206 BC, during the era of the Han dynasty, animals were chosen and arranged in that certain order. There’s a legend about the 12 animals that came to say goodbye to Buddha who left the earth. Here is the list and order: the year of the Monkey, the year of the Rat, the year of the Bull, the year of the Tiger, the year of the Rabbit, the year of the Dragon, the year of the Snake, the year of the Horse, the year of the Sheep, the year of the Rooster, the year of the Dog, and the year of the Pig. Though the modern astrologists tell us that animals are associated with the cycle of Jupiter, which in those years was known to the astronomers.

As astrologists say, the years that relate to each animal have a certain influence on wellbeing, wealth and fortune.

The culture of ancient China says that everyone has their own lucky numbers. There are also three virtues: wellbeing, luck and longevity. A person’s lucky numbers given to them at birth can fortify each of them.

The number 1 is the starting point and the beginning of everything. As the wise Chinese say, one always makes two.
Indeed, without the beginning there will be no continuation. It's hard to put it more wisely.

The number 2 in China is considered a very positive sign. Especially when the numbers duplicate each other for example - 22, 44, 77, 88 and so on.

The number 3 is considered a lucky figure in China and in many other countries. It carries a philosophical load - birth, marriage and death.

The number 4 holds a negative meaning.

The number 5 is a neutral number. There is neither harm nor benefit in it. In China 5 is mentioned when describing five Chinese horoscope elements and sacred Chinese mountains are also five.

Number 6, despite the superstitions in Western countries, in China is a number for wealth. With the help of this number it increases your luck when playing lotto.

The number 7 - as well as 6 is favourable and carries confidence in person’s actions.

The number 8 is prosperity. In Chinese, the pronunciation of the number eight sounds similar to the word luck. What kind of victory in the lottery goes without luck?

The number 9 is the royal number. The number nine means longevity, on imperial crests and clothing were embroidered 9 dragons.
