  • Chinese Zodiac Hidden Secrets to Discover Future
    Chinese Zodiac Hidden secrets to discover future 24 MARCH 2020, IGOR MICUNOVIC Chinese zodiac What Is Chinese Astrology? Chinese astrology and constellations were mostly used for divination. Chinese astrology is perhaps the oldest known horoscope system in the world. Ancient writings have been dated as far as the written records of China itself, many of which have been well-preserved and can be found in the monasteries in China, and all across South-East Asia. Chinese astrology is based on astronomy and traditional calendars. Using information gathered from the time and date of your birth, a Chinese astrologer is then able to draw up a map of your karma and life and advise you accordingly. When you receive a Chinese Astrology reading you are thus benefiting from a tradition that is thousands of years old. Chinese astrology is the divination of the future from the Chinese calendar, which is based on astronomy, and ancient Chinese philosophy. In ancient China, the astrologers primarily served the emperor and his court and were responsible for the stability, well-being and the health of the population. The roots of the Chinese astrological system are planted deeply in the classical philosophies of Kongzi 孔⼦(Confucius) and Laozi ⽼⼦(Lao Tse). Ancient astrologers could correctly predict when tides, seasons, the proper time to plant and harvest crops, to avoid or make wars. According to Chinese Astrology, a person's destiny can be determined by the position of the major planets, along with the positions of the Sun, Moon and comets and the person's time of birth and Zodiac Sign.

  • FACTS EVERY BUNNY PARENT (Or Parent-To-Be) SHOULD KNOW
    FACTS EVERY BUNNY PARENT (or parent-to-be) SHOULD KNOW Thank you for opening up your life and your heart to the unique love of a rabbit. This handout includes information gathered by rabbit lovers and rabbit doctors to help your rabbit have a happy, healthy, long life. IMPORTANT RABBIT FACTS: Life span: 9-12 years (possibly longer) Normal body temperature: 100.5-104 F Rabbits are herbivores, so their physiology is closer to a horse or cow than to dogs or cats. If you keep the rabbit's digestive tract healthy, you keep the rabbit healthy. Rabbits are very social animals and in nature they live in groups. Like dogs and cats, they are affectionate and bond with people; therefore they should be kept indoors as part of the family The rabbit’s natural instinct is to be close to the ground and have access to a safe hiding place; this is because they are a prey species, which basically means that many other animals eat them. Thus it is not safe for rabbits to be left unsupervised with a dog or cat, or allowed outdoors in an unsecured enclosure. WHERE CAN I GET A BUNNY? Thousands of adorable sweet bunnies are euthanized by animal shelters every year because there aren’t enough good homes. Rabbits from rescue organizations are healthier, are already spayed/neutered, are accustomed to being handled, and are often litter box trained. As cute as those little fluffy baby bunnies are in the pet store, they are at a high risk for getting sick. Baby bunnies in pet stores are exposed to a lot of germs at an age when they are most susceptible to illness.

  • Chinese Zodiac Animals Trail #Cnysunderland2021
    Chinese Zodiac Animals Trail #CNYSunderland2021 Find out amazing facts about the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac and try some fun animal actions. 12th February 2021 is the start of the Year of the Ox, but how were the animals chosen and in which order do they follow each other? Find out more….. How did the years get their names? A long time ago in China, the gods decided that they wanted to name the years after animals. They chose twelve animals – dragon, tiger, horse, snake, pig, cockerel, rat, rabbit, goat, dog, ox and monkey. All of these wanted the first year to be named after them as they all thought themselves to be the most important. Can you imagine the noise when they were arguing? They made so much noise that they woke up the gods. After listening to all their arguments the gods decided to settle the matter by holding a race across a wide river. The years would be named according to the order in which the animals finished the race. The animals were very excited. They all believed that they would win – although the pig wasn’t quite so sure. During the race there were many changes in position, with different animals taking the lead. As they approached the river bank ox was in the lead with rat a very close second. Rat was determined to win but he was getting very tired. He had to think quickly. He managed to catch the ox’s tail and from there he climbed onto his back. Ox could see that he was winning but just as he was about to touch the bank, rat jumped over his head and landed on dry land.

  • 2014 - the Chinese New Year of the Horse in the Clouds
    2014 - THE CHINESE NEW YEAR OF THE HORSE IN THE CLOUDS It takes a remarkable person to change the course of world events. To be first, to be daring, to have a superlative vision, and to have the energy needed to push changes through to their fulfillment—these are the marks of the noble and valiant Wood Horse, or ‘Horse in the Clouds’. The Horse is one of the most respected of the Chinese animal signs, notable for their persistence, strength, indomitable spirit and their ability to inspire others, rallying them to their cause. Wood Horses are especially notable for their flair and bold expression in all types of media, especially in the visual arts. While other types of Horses are noted for their political and military abilities and persuasions, the Wood Horse changes the trends of the times through the media. They write large the stories that shape society’s destiny. And of all the five types of Horses, the Wood Horse is in many ways the most beloved, because they have a way of touching the hearts of people that stirs one to action, inspires reflection and creates an impression that does not fade as does the passing fad or latest trend. The Wood Horse carves the paths that set the benchmarks toward which others aspire. Wood Horses are a presence on stage and screen. In art they are innovators, with bold colors but yet extreme care with detail. In every media they excel at movement and portray it to perfection. In society they are pioneers and explorers, pushing the boundaries of our perceptions and borders.
