The Difference between Western and Chinese Astrology

Horoscopes have been part of people’s everyday life. In our daily periodicals, a portion has been designated for it so that people can view their forecasts for the day. Some people start their day by checking what their horoscope tell them as a guide for their daily life activities. Some check their horoscopes to help them decide about certain matters that put them in a quandary. Some check them out of curiosity, which at times get them hooked if the prediction becomes true a couple of times, or they ignore if it is really far from their reality. For whatever reasons people check their horoscopes, the zodiac signs have always been and will always be here to stay.

There are two sets of horoscopes in existence and those are the Chinese and the Western. Some people get confused about what both horoscopes are all about while some subscribe and staunchly believe each one. Both horoscopes tell of predictions about people’s future, but are there any differences in what they say? How do both horoscopes find about what will happen to people’s daily or future lives?

A horoscope is a map of space and time, a reading of a chart which explains the relationships between the moon, the sun, the planets, and a particular space on earth, at an exact time. Both Western and Chinese astrology are interested about how heavenly bodies move and what the relationship of those movements are in people’s lives. However, they had different ways of interpreting those movements because they have different methods in tracking the planets through the night sky.

The Westerns use the ecliptic, or the imaginary line in the sky traced by the sun, as their reference in observing stellar positions. The Chinese, on the other hand, find reference from the celestial north pole and the celestial equator in locating the positions of the heavenly bodies. As a result, Western astrology bases their readings of the chart on the ecliptic or the zodiac, while the Chinese rely more on the lunar zodiac. Thus, the Chinese find stars and constellations to be more important.

Chinese astrology states that a person’s destiny is determined by the positions of the planets, the sun, moon, and comets during the person’s birth. The person’s horoscope sign is determined by the year of birth and the symbol is assigned from the 12 animals from their Star Sign.

Because fate is already determined in the Chinese astrology, their forecasts are usually focused on working on how to “cure” or change of a person. Western astrology’s forecasts are more about a person’s internal psychology, thus its twelve signs are said to represent the twelve basic personality types or characteristic mode of expressions. The said signs area assigned based on a person’s date of birth.

Some astrologers use Western astrology to predict people’s compatibility in love. Two people are compatible when their horoscope signs belong to the same element, which may be fire, water, air, or earth. There is also the use of sun and moon signs. Both sun and moon signs are compared then the sun sign is compared with the moon sign and the other way around. There should have at least 2 matches in the 4 comparisons to say that two people are compatible.

How Horoscope / Astrology Does Affect a Person’s Happiness

When we speak about happiness, it reflects on two variations. One as an emotion like being happy or in the mood, while the other as a bigger word with a deeper meaning. It connotes the influences of how well or poorly a person is most
likely to adapt or be in contentment mood or in higher emotional uplifting. Happiness is all about the right state of mind.

But what does horoscope has to do with a person’s happiness? It depends really. It depends on the kind of situation we get ourselves into. If we believed in these subjects then probably horoscope or astrology has a greater influence on our state of mind.

Ancient people believed that happiness is something that can be defined or can be measured, whatever differences each person have. This notion of happiness does not exclude personal, subjective feelings. The ancients emphasized that being happy (in this objective sense) is very pleasurable – flourishing feels great! But happiness is not identical to personal feelings.

The right state of mind issue is also another thing that touches the issue of having the chance to get on a proper counseling, and many ancient people believed that having the knowledge of their astrological birth charts or their start signs in astrology could give them a little bit of something, that is deep and meaningful. Hence having the knowledge that your life either will be in a good or in an opposite direction can bring you in right mindset, eradicating the negative thoughts and the bad things that are building up and causes you some sad feeling or discontentment.

With the old saying, we are all naturally a rational beings, and usually the ancient tradition suggest that when the subject of Astrology even came up, we are already aiming on the planets, the celestial bodies and asking for their guidance. What differs it now, is that we are being able to understand that the capacity of our life reflects on our horoscope. Horoscope brings in new hope for people who are indulgent in negative aspects.

According to some philosophers, the natal chart we had since our birth plays a role for identifying our weaknesses and as well as our successes in the future. If we were to paint a picture of the ideal happy person in antiquity, we would be looking at someone who has few obstacles, has a balanced and clever mind with a benevolent emotional life, fulfils his or her proper social functions and responsibilities, successfully attends to his or her special skills, and has good health.
