THE CHINESE 12 ZODIAC AND YOU

THE CHINESE 12 ZODIAC AND YOU (written by Andy Ng at AsiaTrainers)

As we know, the 12 Zodiac animals is derived from Yijing and they are in 6 pairs of 2 animals each.

Yijing Yin and Yang complement each other and so are the animals.

Note: To know your zodiac animal, know your birthday per lunar calendar. Note that the zodiac year starts from Li Chun, which is either Feb 4 or 1st day of the lunar new year, WHICHEVER IS EARLIER.

Also, the time to start is 11 pm on the previous night. So, for Rabbit year 2023, it starts from 11 pm on 21 Jan 2023 (because 1st day of lunar new year is 22 Jan 2023)

Rat and Ox: Rat being Clever and Fast, need to balance with Ox's Hardworking and Dedication

Tiger and Rabbit: Tiger is Daring and Fierceful, rabbit is On the Ground and Detailed-Oriented.

Dragon and Snake: Dragon represents Going for the Sky, while snake is about Flexibility and Feel the Ground.

Horse and Goat: Horse is about Charging Forward to reach the destination or goal, while the Goat is about Reaching as a Group.

Monkey and Rooster: Money is about Swift and Opportunistic, while Rooster is about Discipline (and ringing alarm bell)

Dog and Pig: Dog is about being Loyal and Faithful, while the Pig represents Living in the Present Moment and Knowing when to Rest and Enjoy.

The Pig is the last because we need to really have a life!

As for Yin and Yang, the odd number animal is yang while even number animal is yin. So rabbit is yin while tiger is yang.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
