"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ~ Ronald Reagan

I believe the Chinese have been very wise about things like this since ancient times.

History of Chinese Astrology
History of Chinese Astrology
The year of your birth does not just indicate your age! According to the Chinese system of Astrology, the year of birth indicates a certain phase or aspect of a sixty-year cycle of time. Three systems are used for counting and classifying the years: The ten Heavenly Stems, the twelve Earthly Branches and the twelve Animals.
The exact origins of the twelve animal system remain unknown. However, legend has it that, once upon a time, the Jade King was bored, having nothing to do in Heaven. He did not see what was happening on Earth, as he had servants attending to his every wish. He decided that he wanted to see the animals that inhabited the earth, so he sent word to his advisors to bring him twelve animals (which he considered a good sampling). The advisor first sent an invitation to the Rat, telling him to also bring the cat. The Rat's jealousy prevented the cat from actually receiving the invitation.
Further invitations were sent to the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Ram, the Monkey, the Rooster and the Dog. Their presence was requested at the palace the following day. When they lined up in front of the king, he found that they numbered only eleven, instead of twelve as he had requested. The king sent his servant down to Earth to retrieve a twelfth animal. The servant ran into a man carrying the Pig, and he hastily grabbed it and delivered it to the king. The animals stood in front of the king in no particular order. The Rat, being smaller than the rest, hopped on the Ox's back and proceeded to play the flute. The king was very impressed by this display. He gave the Rat first place. Second place was given to the Ox for its good sportsmanship, and third was given to the Tiger, who appeared so courageous. The Rabbit was given fourth place, the Dragon fifth, the Snake sixth, the Horse seventh, the Ram eighth, the Monkey ninth, the Rooster tenth and the Dog eleventh. By default, and due to the king's just nature, twelfth place went to the Pig. After the ceremony concluded, the cat (who missed the invitation) begged the king to reconsider, but was told it was too late.
The Chinese Calendar
The Chinese calendar is based on the moon phase and the season of the solar year. It incorporates elements of a lunar calendar with those of a solar calendar. In modern China, the solar or Gregorian calendar is used for most day-to-day activities, but the Chinese calendar is still used for marking traditional Chinese holidays such as Chinese New Year, Duan Wu festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is also used in Chinese Astrology, especially when choosing the most auspicious date for opening a business or setting a wedding date.
The twelve animal signs of Chinese Astrology are based on the Chinese calendar. Unlike the solar calendar, which is fixed at 365 days except for leap year, the lunar calendar is based on phases of the moon and is less than 365 days. When synchronizing the Chinese calendar with the solar calendar, one leap month in the lunar calendar occurs every few years. As a result, the Chinese New Year is never a fixed date on the solar calendar; rather, it usually falls between mid January and late February on the solar calendar. According to Chinese Astrology, if you were born in January or February, you must consult the Chinese calendar to see when the Chinese New Year falls to learn if your animal sign is the present year or the previous year in Chinese Astrology.
