So I'm currently mildly addicted to this automatically-generated daily Chinese horoscope, not in least because my birth year, instead of being Rooster, or even Cock, is translated as Chicken.

And it has this lovely really untranslatable chart:

Hour	Day [ You ]	Month	Year
Male Wood	Male Earth	Male Fire	Female Earth
Green Rat	Brown Tiger	Red Rat	Brown Chicken

You are Brown Tiger, born in the year of Brown Chicken. The upper character in DAY column represents the person. So you are equivalent to Male Earth. The symbols in the upper row of birth chart are called Heavenly Stems. The animals in the lower row in are called Earthly Branches.

Anyway, it claimed that today I'd get money, and woo - a friend just sent me some he owed me. But Tuesday's prediction is a thing of beauty, because although it says money will go out, it also says:

Pig and Tiger have an attraction relationship and appear in your birth chart and cycle. When they are together, the hint of your fortune is "Money goes, then career comes." This relationship is to do with your career. You might have to invest some money on your career on this day. Or you need to hire people to take care of some trouble.

I am ALL ABOUT any horoscope that tells me I might have to hire "people" to "take care" of "trouble."

Clearly, you're going to have to make some people an offer they can't refuse. *snerks*

Well, crap. I just check my horoscope, and apparently I need to be on the lookout for safes and pianos falling on my head. My luck this month is going to be just that bad.

"Generally, the luck on this day to you is bad." Hmmm.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

My luck for tomorrow is going to be pretty bad, while my luck for today was good, but my luck for this weekend was supposed to be just as bad as tomorrow and I didn't notice anything different than today.

And actually, I had to park four blocks away from campus and walk because they had half the parking lot closed this morning so I think that counts as BAD luck instead of GOOD. Phooey! How dare a computer-generated fortune mislead me?!

There could be some unemployed bodyguards with few scruples in your area. Hire them!

*thinks happily on that prospect for a while*

Apparently I'm going to have really bad luck for at least the whole month.

Today: "Fame goes and money goes"

Monthly: "Career and trouble come. Money goes" and "Fame goes. Health goes"

So it looks like I'm going to be broke, but that's not exactly new :D

Hmph. I will only have fair luck this month. Today though, "You might meet a male you like during this cycle. But your friends are interesting on your man, too." Interesting on my man? Oh dear.

"The concise prediction for this day is "Career and money are gone.""

Also, I am a brown dog.

Mine's schizophrenic again - I get "Career and money are gone" but then a paragraph saying how Green Rat from my birth chart might be mixing up the prediction, and that 'In short, this relationship to your birth chart indicates "Friendship, career and Money come." That's a good fortune to you.' They're pretty much covering all bases, I think.

So you're Shigure, huh?

By year, I'm actually Hatsuharu. Who is totally in love with Yuki, by the way.

I was once traumatized by a placemat in a Chinese restaurant that listed famous people who were also year of the ox. Mine were Richard Nixon, Mao Tse-Tung, Josef Stalin, and Hitler. Year of the genocidal dictator!

We haven't met my year person, yet. (as far as I know - I haven't read any scanlations of Furuba.) And I would think that the Year of the Cock, as it's usually translated, would provide for much fangirl ribaldness. Probably does, in fact, but I avoid Furuba fandom like the plague. although it would be the perfect title for a Furuba smutfic

You've got a long way to go to live up to your Ox forebears. You'd better start oppressing someone.

Hmm... this sounds random, but... If you want your Chinese Astrology explained to you, I could do it for you. It;s not a Horoscope though, it's a personality thing.

For an example...
People born in the Year of the Rooster... er, Chicken.... are also considered to be two other animals based on the contellations. Their yin (feminine) aspect is the Pheasant - gerous, admired, colorful, loyal. Their yang (masculine) aspect is the Crow - intuitive, solitary, wise, communicative.

:D Sure, if ya want. XD

*goes back to comic which is making her braindead*

I'd have to know your birth year, month, day, and time (if you know it) to within an hour.

I get to admit how old I am now. :D And I can get it down to the minute: Dec 29, 1969, 11:27 PM (Central time).

Thanks. :)
