its the year of the ox. \n\nThe Ox of Chinese Astrology is no bull in a china shop. Steadfast and solid, this powerful Sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. Oxen tend to be plodding and methodical; they approach projects in the step-by-step manner that serves them best, and they never lose sight of their goal. They are tireless workers who are detail-oriented and believe in doing things right the first time.\n\nThe world may perceive Oxen as being far too serious or incapable of loosening up. This sturdy sort is less than social by nature and tends to become introverted in a crowd. To make things worse, they can't be bothered with what other people think and prefer to do what makes them feel best. Behind that calm facade, though, lives an Ox who can feel hurt, lonely and unable to connect with others. Friends and family are a great source of comfort to this beast, even if they don't always understand what makes the Ox tick. As a lover, friend, family member or housemate, the Ox makes a wonderfully strong, tender and affectionate companion who is protective and always reliable.\n\nOut in the world, though, Oxen tend to be stubborn, dogmatic, my-way-or-the-highway kind of people who have no concept of when to back down. Oxen don't care to be pushed, especially since they think they're the good guys of the Chinese Zodiac. There is some truth to that theory, since the Ox is smart, trustworthy, caring and honorable. If you need honest, steady and unbiased advice, call on the Ox.\n\nA good lesson for mighty Oxen is to strive to overcome a judgmental nature that keeps them from getting close to others. If they can learn to value their own good qualities, they'll have more room in their hearts to invite others in.\n\nThey differ from zodiac signs as zodiac signs are the star signs, and chinese zodiac signs r determined by the year u were born, while zodiac signs r determined by the date of birth. eg: ur star sign could b a leo, taurus, scorpio, gemini, aries, libra, capricorn, sagittarius, virgo, cancer, aqarius, n pisces but ur chinese zodiac signs could be dog, ox, rabbit, pig, rat, rooster, horse, monkey, dragon, snake, goat, tiger

According to Western Astrology you would be a virgo. I don't know much about Hindu panchanga so I don't have much to tell you about that. \n\nI also cannot tell you which to pick, or believe in. Maybe pick up a book on the basics of panchanga and read up on your sign as well as a book on western astrology. Which I'm sure you'll find both have similar characteristics to eachother. You decide which best describes you.\n\nThe Sun the core of the individual; the overriding nature and will. The moon is your emotional life and it's influence is more subtle because it relates to personality below the surface.\n\nAccording to your birthdate, your sun sign is Virgo and your Moon sign is Leo. Here's a brief description of what this means.\n\nThe combination of your Sun and Moon signs produces a very earnest, if contradictory personality. The pairing blends the intelligence, analytical insight and discrimination of Virgo, with the vitality, confidence and authoritativeness of Leo. There is much internal indecision in your nature, but the Virgo personality is sure to rule. You do what you should, instead of what you would. You are naturally conscientious, revealing great working capacity or devotion to duty. You have a very confident and positive personality, often proving assertive, sometimes aggressive. Your assertive impulses may cause you to spend some time worrying when you later take the time to reflect and analyze what you have said or done. You feel better when you can hold back until you have that inner confidence that the direction you're headed is correct. You're a person of very high character and strong principles. You rely on individual worth and expect others to recognize your sincerity, and they usually do. You have a practical individuality and a discriminating nature. Your strengths of character and high principles should help you attain your potentials in life.

I consider myself more virgo.\n\nHere's an article I found\nhttp://www.astrology.com/allaboutyou/cusps/virgolibra.html

in china they used the zodiac to determine peoples age without asking them their age. instead they asked their sign and through this worked out their age.\nthe other type of horoscope tells use the alignment of the stars and is used to predict the future of an individual.\nthis is why they are different.

Many Chinese believe that any death above the age of 70 is a 'happy death', meaning that the person lived to an old age.\n\nIf you mean to say an official recognition of old age, then I don't know.

i know what you mean....my description pretty much fits me too, but the daily predictions are usually off base, besides if it's bad, i don't want to know and have it become a self-fulfilling prophecy lol!  btw, you must be a cool guy, 'cause cancers always seem cool. :)   p.s. wait until you see your chinese horoscope sign on a placemat at a restaurant or online...i think they're just as accurate!

"Scorpio + Virgo \n\nWater + Earth = Mud \n\nThere are many Scorpios and Virgos who’ve been attracted to each other. Lots of them have been able to create a happy, comfortable and fulfilling life by pooling their financial, mental and emotional resources.\nAt the other end of the spectrum is a group that doesn’t work so well. They marry and stay together for life but never quite fulfil each other. This is because both are very demanding in their own way. \nYour ruling planet, Pluto, is challenging in a most confrontational way, whereas Virgo prefers to do battle rationally, in a way that is courteous and unassuming.\nIn a permanent relationship they’ll feel you’re insensitive, your blunt manner shows a lack of respect, and you don’t take their basic needs into account. And you’ll become irritated with them, if not completely frustrated by their overly logical examination of every minor issue. \nIf you lightened up, you’d feel much more confident about a relationship with Virgo. On a practical level, and in the bedroom, this relationship has all the characteristics of a really great partnership.\nThis is particularly so from your vantage point, financially: Virgo will offer you practical security as well as love. The two of you can work towards financial stability, and build a mutual support system that gives you more than the basic emotional or romantic fulfilment of most relationships — with some prosperity thrown in for good measure.\nBe wary of Virgos born between 24 August and 2 September: Mercury, which co-rules them, is opposite in nature to you. There will be temper flare-ups from time to time. There may also be a difference in your age or cultural background which will make you question the relationship. Think hard about taking the friendship to a more serious level — before you dive in. \nVirgos born between 3 September and 12 September offer you gains and losses in equal measure, and many of your life lessons will be tied up in your financial relationship with them. Remember the saying ‘Never mix business with pleasure’? If you can sort out this issue, these Virgos will offer you a solid and stable security which fits in with your personal view of life. \nVirgos born between 13 September and 22 September are ideally suited to long-term love and commitment. This is because Jupiter, which has a bearing on your romantic life and is a thoroughly lucky planet for you, also has a bearing on their destiny. You’ll feel physically attracted to them, and will want a bright future with them."

Sun in Leo, Moon in Aquarius \n\nYou were born with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius. This immediately shows a basic conflict between your individuality and your personality. Outwardly you are attracted to the uncommon and unorthodox. Internally you resent this irrational inclination for the unconventional because you are rather dignified and proud. The Sun in Leo gives you a commanding, powerful, and generous disposition, which is not in agreement with your personality. Your personality comes under the rulership of the Moon in Aquarius. You are seen by others as a freedom-loving, independent, radical person. However, your personality is limited, in that you often stress your own ideas to the exclusion of everything else. Your demands for absolute freedom and privacy are very insistent. Your life goals will be completely out of the ordinary. You will conduct studies of an unusual nature, very frequently going to the very old or the very new. The key to a better integration of your being lies in harmonizing the strong passionate nature of Leo with your thirst for the unusual, lent by Aquarius. In this harmony lies the secret of total spiritual evolution.\n\nAscendant in Leo, Sun in the Twelfth House \n\nAt the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Leo was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler the Sun is located in the twelfth house. \n\nPeople with Leo in the Ascendant seem to possess a flair for the life of nobility and regality. Your life will be in many ways influenced by decisions you make that have been motivated by your pride, desire for power, for authority, and your need to convince others of your courage. \n\nIn life you will act with a rather frank, generous, and amiable disposition. The course of events in your life will unfold themselves swiftly, and a life full of chance and circumstances will be the outcome of your desire to rule, to organize, to hold the keys of authority. You should be aware that as a result of overly strong impulses there is the danger of failures and upsets in life. You will be generally regarded as an amiable, sincere and generous person who, however, has much pride and sensitivity. Egocentricity is one of the prices of being born with the Ascendant sign of Leo. Another aspect of this zodiacal sign is that your personality becomes excessively charged with passion and sexual desire. On the other hand, these zodiacal signs grant in life a large dose of vitality as well as a fine physical shape and a strong, healthy constitution. \n\nWillpower is a characteristic of your personality. You seek opportunities and when you find them you go to it, using both your mind and your emotions to strive for success with zeal and determination. You are very self-assured and you implement ideas with a self- assurance that lets nothing get in your way of success. \n\nIt would be beneficial to you, however, if you were not so candid and frank and if you did not expect others to act and feel as you do. \n\nLeo will grant you very sincere and affectionate relationships in which you desire to bring happiness and an overall feeling of charitable spirit and warmth to your loved one. In your sexual relationships you appear as happy, strong, playful and even a little innocent. \n\nYou will always act better as a leader than a subordinate. \n\nThis position gives you a tendency to act inconspicuously most of the time. You are interested in bringing clarity to all matters; investigating, doing research. The position also denotes a power for interpretation and much of your time is spent with the purpose of self- analysis. There are intense inclinations for psychic matters and occultism; you have the capacity to accept misfortune with understanding and then to react with sentiment. \n\nSome mediumship is noted with keen interest for occult studies. Don't let the flame extinguish.\n\nSaturn in the Second House \n\nSaturn is found in the second house at the time of your birth. This is not a very favorable astrolog

You will need to know the following information for you.\n\nFull Name\nDate of Birth\nTime of Birth\nPlace of Birth\n\nGood luck, I'd like to know how it works out for you.

You may recoil a bit at this, but by Chinese astrology, you're a rat...now don't fret...it's a good thing...really! Though the Western rat is reviled as little more than a bottom-dwelling disease carrier, this animal is viewed much differently in the East. And you are from the Badger State--that's close to a rascally rat. The Eastern rat is revered for its quick wits and its ability to accrue and hold on to items of value; rats are considered a symbol of good luck and wealth in both China and Japan. Clever and quick-witted, the Rat of the Chinese Zodiac is utterly disarming to boot. Possessed of excellent taste, this Sign flaunts its style at every turn. Its natural charm and sharp, funny demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone. The Rat likes to know who is on its side and will treat its most loyal friends with an extra measure of protection and generosity.\n\nBehind that sweet smile, though, Rats are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas. This Sign is motivated by its own interests, which often include money; greed can become a problem if the Rat isn't careful to keep its priorities straight. This Sign's natural powers of charm and persuasion can definitely come in handy! Although they are often hoarders, Rats can be very generous to those in their "pack," namely friends and family members who have proven their loyalty. Others might perceive them as quick-tempered and sharp-tongued, but never boorish. Verbal jousting is a great pleasure for the Rat, a Sign that everyone around will quickly learn either to love or to hate.\n\nRats enjoy being on the outside looking in, as the outside affords a view into the inner workings of a system or situation. The Rat's keen mind always seeks out new knowledge, to be stored away for future use. This ever-curious Sign also welcomes challenges as a way to stay sharp. If boredom sets in the Rat is no fun at all, but that isn't likely; this Sign knows how to keep itself entertained.\n\nA valuable lesson for Rats is to learn to consider others above themselves, at least sometimes. If they can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well, Rats could find true happiness.\n\nThe most compatible match for a Rat is the Dragon or the Monkey. I'm a dragon...but that's another story...and Wausau, WS is the ginseng capitol of the world--thus it's relation to Chinese astrology.

Chinese zodiacs go by year.\n\nDiplomatic and popular, the Snake has the sensual art of seduction down. This Sign is an interesting mix of gregariousness paired with introversion, intuitive reasoning paired with savvy business skills. Snakes are considered to be lucky with money and will generally have more than enough to live life to the fullest, regardless of how important it considers money to be; this may be due to the fact that Snakes tend to be rather tight with cash. They're not stingy, they're simply more mentally than physically active. Snakes tend to hang back a bit in order to analyze a situation before jumping into it. Their charming, seductive quality actually belies a rather retiring nature; this Sign is perfectly happy to spend the whole day curled up with a good book and, thus, can be mislabeled as being lazy.\n\nThe Snake is somewhat insecure deep down and tend to be a rather jealous, possessive lover, behavior that can end up alienating loved ones. Despite these less-than-stellar tendencies, however, the Snake often proves irresistible and is a generous, loving partner.. Slightly dangerous and disarmingly smart, the Snake's philosophical and intuitive mind generally supersedes logic in favor of feelings and instinct. Snakes will rely on their own gut reactions and intuitions before turning to others for suggestions. This makes this Sign a great hand in any business venture, possessing the caution and smarts needed to get ahead.\n\nSnakes are hard workers (when they see good reason to be!) and are possessed of a keen intelligence. Snakes have incredible follow-through, once they get going, and they expect the same from others. Thus, their coworkers and employees had best stay on their toes, lest they anger the Snake and suffer its poisonous bite!\n\nIn general, of course, Snakes are generous and genteel, charming and appealing. Snakes must try to learn humility and to develop a stronger sense of self. Once Snakes realize that confidence comes from within, they will finally be comfortable in their own skin.\n\nThe most compatible match for a Snake is the Rooster or the Ox.

Cancer is still the answer for me but don't limit yourself to a person's zodiac sign. The characteristics that you are looking for can be from any sign. You are a Taurus and I doubt you let anyone push you around!

Virgo\nAugust 24 - September 22 \nThis is the sign of the meticulous worker who pays such attention to detail in order to make the environment more efficient. This comes from a need to bring order to the world. You are ruled by the planet Mercury, as such, you have a brilliant intellectual mind which is able to grasp universal principles once properly focused. \n\nYou have an amazing capacity to analyze detail, making you are an adept critic. As you put your world under a microscope, you sometimes tend to lose sight of the big picture. Your challenge is to discriminate essential information from that which is trivial. Once this is mastered, your true potential emerges. Your lesson is to learn that the body must serve the mind and the mind ultimately serves the spirit. \n\nArtificial foods and drugs do not agree with you, especially if you are emotionally charged. Excessive worry and overwork can also have a detrimental effect on your health due to your highly sensitive physical nature. Once you are able to discipline your mind your capacity to resist illness increases. \n\nYou have strong influential healing energies that can help others once your mind is disciplined. You can excel in the field of service as you are able to work unselfishly for a greater purpose.
