The Influence of Chinese Astrology and Horoscopes

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Chinese culture is very intact to every one of them. Their culture is very rich in a way that almost every country near them has been influenced as well. Chinese have lot of superstitions, for example if their New Year comes near. Each families spend their time cleaning their houses because they believe that it will take away bad luck for the coming new year. And on the holiday eve buying a pair of shoes is considered bad luck. According to them the word “shoes” is a homophone for the word “rough” in Cantonese. Eating candy, on the other hand, brings good luck in a way that their coming year will become sweet.

Chinese New Year celebrates in every joyous way possible, from the dramatic fireworks to the creativity of dragon dance. This is the highlight of the occasion in every Chinatown around the world. Every year, Chinese spend lavishly on performance arts in the hopes of bringing good luck and prosperity.

Come to think of it, even if a person doesn’t have Chinese blood, when you ask them if they believe in Chinese horoscopes, I strongly trust that the answer will be a big yes. Why? Because, deep inside in people’s soul whether they accept it or not they somehow admit it when it comes to superstitions, astrology, feng shui and others belief that passes through ages.
