Tracing Ancient Chinese Philosophy, In the principles of Taoism it uses “Yin and Yang” （陰陽） which are usually used to describe the nature of the interconnected and opposing forces in this world and how they build on each other.
But implicitly Yin and Yang represent a very profound meaning of the dualism which contradicts each other, yet complements each other in supporting life and mechanisms universally, so that everything in reality is a harmonious synthesis of the combination of Yin and Yang.
The theory of luck lies in the yin-yang method based on the Na Yin Sixty (60) Year cycle (六十甲子納音五行 Liu Shi Jia Zi Na Yin Wu Xing), Na Yin Sixty (60) years is called a Jia Zi (甲子) year calendar, one of Jia Zi means one cycle of Yin and Yang. Because changes in yin-yang affect climate, the number of electrons and radiation, so will affect the character of each baby born.
They (babies born) will have different personalities, traits, temperaments and talents. This is the reason why the book Tong Shu (通書) or the so-called Traditional Chinese Calendar Almanac Book is so effective and popular in Chinese society, because society makes good use of the theory of changes that occur in one Jia Zi cycle as a basis for prediction.
One Jia Zi in Sixty (60) Years, grouped into five times in Twelve (12) Years, and each Twelve (12) Years is occupied by Twelve (12) Zodiac (十二生肖 Shi Er Sheng Xiao) or The Twelve (12) Earthly Branches (十二地支 Shi Er Di Zhi) are consecutively known as the Chinese Zodiac (Chinese Zodiac).
Currently, it has been proven that the 12 Zodiac or Chinese Astrology are more effective than Western Astrology in showing a person’s character. According to Researchers in the Department of Metaphysics at the University of Ohio, After going through many experiments, combining the 12 Chinese zodiac principles with the changes that occur in one cycle of Jia Zi, and the mutual symbiotic principle of Yin & Yang, associated with the relationship between humans and the world, the research resulted in an accurate analysis. about the character of one’s birth each year.
Personality determines one’s destiny. As the saying goes: “Mountains can be moved but human nature is difficult to change”, which illustrates the importance of the personality knowing the fate of each character according to the character, making you more effective in controlling and determining the future.
“During the course of history, things that bring good luck have been considered as a mere superstitious tradition. Due to differences in the way of life, geographic environment, natural and social knowledge, culture, science, and technology, the understanding of luck varies between societies.”
