It is opined that Lord Buddha was the first who took up the pains of introducing Chinese Astrology as well as the sequence of the twelve animals. Referring to the ancient scripts, Lord Buddha came to know about the need for re-organization in the Chinese nation.
Hence during the Chinese New Year ( it generally takes place on different dates starting from mid January to mid February), Lord Buddha called upon the complete animal meeting from a meeting. However, only twelve animals (buffalo, rat, rabbit, tiger, snake, dragon, goat, horse, rooster, monkey, dog and boar) took up the pains for attending this meeting. Lord Buddha them honored them by taking into consideration the order in which they arrived followed by bestowing them with a year of their own. It is from this point of time that on each successive year according to the Chinese calendar displayed the character of the governing animal. In simple words, people born under that Chinese year, reflected the character of the animal that was supposed to rule in that particular year. Hence, those born in particular animal years are distinguished by the temperament of their natal animal.
But this doesn’t imply that people who took birth under the same animal will reflect the exactly same characteristics, they may differ a bit in certain aspects. It’s nothing abnormal! These differences can be marked by the different elements of Fire, wood, water, metal and earth. Each of the aforementioned elements distinguishes a person from the other even if they are born in the same Chinese year. In Chinese astrology, each year starts early on a new moon and is associated with one of the previously mentioned twelve animals.
