Chinese horoscope

Description

Calculates the four pillars of the Chinese horoscope based on the (birth) date.

A Chinese horoscope according to the T’zu Ping system consists of four pillars. The pillar of the year is the one everyone talks about, but it’s actually the least important. The most important pillar for the character is the day of birth, followed by the month of birth, then the pillar of the hour of birth, and finally the pillar of the year of birth. Each pillar (year, month, day, hour) is influenced by one of the twelve animal signs which comes in five elementary variants, and one of the five elements which comes in a yin and yang variant.

This plugin generates the following three descriptions of each pillar:

  1. Day pillar: Character of the animal sign, its variant and the element
  2. Month pillar: Character of the animal sign, its variant and the element
  3. Hour pillar: Character of the animal sign, its variant and the element
  4. Year pillar: Character of the animal sign, its variant and the element

e.g. Rooster, Fire Rooster, Yang Wood

The twelve signs are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Hare, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig
The five elements are Fire, Wood, Earth, Metal, Water.

Software designed only for years after 1900. The horoscope is calculated with the solar time.

In the setting page you can easily change/adjust the following:

  • Descriptions of the twelve signs
  • Descriptions of the five variants of each of the twelve signs (e.g. Fire Rat)
  • Descriptions of the five elements and their yin and yang types (e.g. Metal Yang)
  • Change the language

You can change your settings in the wp-admin menu.
