The Gold Snake

Chinese Astrology

Chinese Astrology is based upon the basic Astronomy related to the Solar System Planets, in particular, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn. Each of these Planets have the Theory and Technology of the 5 Elements assigned to them. Venus (Metal), Jupiter (Wood), Mercury (Water), Mars (Fire) and Saturn (Earth).

The Chines Zodiac has 12 Animals one for each year representing a 12 year Cycle, which was calculated related to 12 Sections for one rotation of the Planet Jupiter’s Orbit around the Sun. These are the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. This year, 2025 is the year of the Snake. Depending upon which year a person is born an Animal is related to that year. For example the year 1966 is the Horse, the year 2000 is the Dragon and in my case 1941 is the Snake.

The relationship between the Elements and Animals, together with the time you were born are shown below. In essence the combination of these is, according to Chinese Astrology, can determine your fate and is able to provide personal attributes, strengths and weaknesses. You may also note the last digit of your Birth Year tells you what Element is assigned to you. (Metal 0 or 1), (Water 2 or 3), (Wood 4 or 5), (Fire 6 or 7) and (Earth 8 or 9).

According to Chinese Astrology, as I was born in 1941, I am a Snake and my Element is Metal. In the case of my Snake Year, I am a Gold Snake.

How much of this a person wants to accept is optional but I must say throughout my life especially my adult life I have always been a Leader in the Royal Air Force and Creator and Executive of my Companies.
