Abstract:
Timing: Chinese New Year – Year of the Brown Earth Dog
begins at the New Moon on 15 February 2018 at 1:05 PM PST.
The Chinese animal
year begins each Western year about 4 February - it does not begin at the
Chinese New Year. Those born 3, 4 or 5 February should consult http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/Chineseastrology.htm
to correctly ascertain their Chinese animal sign. I use 4 February to determine
the Oriental animal years.
Brief:
1. DONALD
TRUMP [1/14/1946] is the most notorious Dog in the world and he’s due to have a
topper of a year, two years actually – beginning 4 February 2018. I expect he
will extricate himself from ALL difficulties over the next two years.
2. Dogs
AND Pigs AND Tigers will have a smashingly transformative TWO years as 2019 is
a Pig year. Consulting the compatibility matrix below, one can see that Pig
rates a #1 compatibility with Dog, therefore both this Dog Year AND next year,
a Pig year will be very expansive for Pigs and Dogs. This two consecutive years
good luck period also occurs with Rat and Ox, and Dragon and Snake.
3. Dragon
Year people will experience a once-in-12-year bad luck cycle [Putin – 10/7/1952].
From the matrix – Dog and Dragon ranks a 6 in compatibility, the lowest. Rabbit
[Cat] Year people will get a lot of relief as their worst year, Rooster, is
just ending.
4. In
brief: Earth Dog Year will be excellent/very good for Tigers, Rabbits, Horses,
Dogs and Pigs [those with a 1 or 2 in the compatibility matrix]. Not so
good/terrible for Dragons, Goats, and Roosters.

Compatibility legend
1 excellent 2
successful 3 – good 4 – fair 5 – awkward 6 – clash
We can construct a rough ‘affability quotient’ for the signs by summing the compatibilities
of each of the 12 signs with each of the other. Thus,
Rat – 36
Ox – 39
Tiger
– 45
Rabbit – 37
Dragon – 37
Snake – 38
Horse – 40
Goat – 40
Monkey – 35
Rooster – 43
Dog – 38
Pig -
31
Tigers are, by quite a bit, the most self-centered and
difficult to get along with followed by Roosters – Pigs by far the most
affable. Using the compatibility table it is possible to make rough estimates
on how your year will go. When it is your year it is invariably transforming
and expansive - sometimes too much so. When it is the opposite of your year,
that is, 6 years away, it can be restrictive and inharmonious.
The first day of the animal year is
different from the Chinese New Year Day. The animal year starts on the first
day of the Tiger month. Tiger month begins from the day when Sun enters
ecliptic 315 degree position, which is around February 4 Gregorian calendar. That means the
animal month is solar month, not lunar month. For an even more thorough discussion of the animal
and Chinese New Year see http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/clc/LunarCalendar.htm

How Oriental
Astrology works: Oriental astrology is essentially “good luck” astrology in
that it tracks the planet Jupiter, considered to be one’s Greater Fortune.
Jupiter takes 12 years to transit the zodiac of 12 signs. Therefore, in
whatever year you were born, every 12 years when your Oriental zodiac animal
year returns, the planet Jupiter will be in the same sign it was when you were
born. Jupiter is called Guru in Hindu astrology and is considered your
spiritual teacher.
Thus, roughly speaking, ALL Rabbits
[Cat] have Jupiter in Aries; Dragons, Jupiter in Taurus; Snakes, Jupiter in
Gemini; Horse, Jupiter in Cancer; Sheep [Goat], Jupiter in Leo; Monkey, Jupiter
in Virgo; Rooster, Jupiter in Libra; Dog, Jupiter in Scorpio; Pig, Jupiter in
Sagittarius; Rat, Jupiter in Capricorn; Cow [Ox], Jupiter in Aquarius; Tiger,
Jupiter in Pisces.
AND because when Jupiter returns to
the place it was when you were born that causes an expansion of the “good luck”
in your horoscope. Some signs have more innate “good luck” than others, so the
Oriental animal year is more important to some signs than others. Because
Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, Horses
probably experience more increased good luck during Horse year than other signs
do in theirs. And I note in passing that from wealth studies of university
contributions it has been determined that the wealthiest cohort in America has
been the class of 1964, those born in the Horse Year 1942.
Incidentally, I have never seen this derivation of
Oriental astrology anywhere – I arrived at it myself.
