Wow, almost but not quite. Hmmm, will take note and make sure that the negative ones don’t show. I wonder how did ancient astrologist derive all the characteristics of the individual zodiac and put them into 12 categories.. The power of observation must have been really strong.
I have always hear my grandparents talk about which of the five elements it is for the year during the Lunar New Year period. I did not know that each of the Zodiac signs also have a element assigned to them. This is really a great information to know. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such information with us.
I am a fire ox. I find it a bit odd as I do not like being driven by risk. I am also not aggressive or dominating. I also do not have mood swings. Other than that, the information describes my personality pretty accurately.
in all elements we live and in all elements we die we are just people with flesh and blood we are simple and stupid the future intelligence that will be discovered will leave us simply as stupid people floundering on the beach ? whos stupid ? know where i would rather flounder , kchang lifes a beach
This is interesting, I am born in the year of snake, most of the characteristics mentioned, i have got them, whether bad or good. hahaha.. It is a good guideline for me to work on my weakness and make good use of my strength. Of many weaknesses, I found “tendency to rush into things without thinking” very true, I have to train my mind to be more alert and stable.
