January 11, 2009 10:33 am Luck and FortuneThis year the Chinese New Year celebrated on January 26th marks the beginning of the year of the Ox. Worldwide the Chinese New Year is celebrated by people looking to secure good luck, fortune and drive away any evil forces influencing their life. I suggest that one of the best ways to ensure a prosperous and lucky year is by determining which of the animals represented in the Chinese Zodiac influences our life.The Chinese Zodiac consists of a 12 year cycle where each year is represented by an original animal. Each animal has a different personality and different characteristics. The animal is believed to be the main factor in each person’s life that gives them their traits, success, and happiness in their lifetime. In the chart below you can find the year you were born and the animal that represents that year:
