Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this here… uh… zodiac thingy, the one they say tells ya ’bout when you’re born and all that. Don’t know much ’bout fancy words, but I’ll tell ya what I know, the way I know it.
First off, they got this… whatchamacallit… lunar calendar. Sounds fancy, huh? It’s all ’bout the moon, see? Not like the sun calendar we use mostly now, but back in the day, and even now for some folks, they go by the moon. Big ol’ moon tells ’em when to plant crops, when to have parties… you name it. Lunar calendar is a big deal, specially for them holidays and such.

Now, this here zodiac thing… it’s like a big circle with twelve animals. Don’t ask me why animals, but that’s how it is. Every year gets an animal. Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit… you know, like that. And it goes in a circle, year after year, for twelve years, then starts all over again. They say the year you’re born in, that animal, it tells ya somethin’ ’bout you. Like if you’re born in the year of the pig, maybe you like to eat a lot? I dunno, just guessin’. This 12-year cycle, it’s been goin’ on for ages, they say.
- Rat
- Ox
- Tiger
- Rabbit
- Dragon
- Snake
- Horse
- Goat
- Monkey
- Rooster
- Dog
- Pig
They also got this other thing, like… signs, for each month, kinda like the animals but different. They got names like… Aries, Taurus… fancy names, I tell ya. And each one of them signs, it’s got its own time, like a month or so. They say these signs, they also tell ya ’bout yourself, like if you’re stubborn or friendly or whatnot. This zodiac sign thing, it’s pretty complicated, if you ask me.
Now, puttin’ it all together, it’s like… the year you’re born got an animal, and the month you’re born got a sign. And they say that all this stuff, it can tell ya ’bout your personality, what kinda luck you gonna have, and all that jazz. Me? I just take it with a grain of salt. But some folks, they swear by it. They look at the astrology calendar and plan everything. Birthdays, weddings, even plantin’ their gardens!
And then there’s this talk about the moon bein’ in different signs too. Like, this week the moon’s in… I can’t even remember them names. But they say it affects things, you know? Like, maybe it’s a good time to start somethin’ new, or maybe it’s a good time to just lay low. It’s all in the moon sign, they say. Too much for my old brain, I tell ya.
They even got books and stuff, almanacs they call ‘em. Farmers use ‘em, I hear. Tells ya when the moon’s gonna be full, when it’s gonna be new… all that kinda stuff. And they got these horoscopes, too. You read ‘em in the newspaper sometimes. Says stuff like, “You gonna have a good day today,” or “Be careful ‘round money.” I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s fun to read sometimes. Farmers’ Almanac knows all this, they say.
So, this here zodiac calendar thing… it’s a mix of animals and signs and moon cycles and all sorts of stuff. Some folks say it’s all connected to the stars. Like, when you’re born, the sun is in a certain constellation, and that’s your sign. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout constellations, but I guess it’s like them groups of stars up in the sky. Constellation and sun, they seem to be important in all this.

And they say that even the day you’re born on, it’s got its own special… somethin’. Like, every day is different, with different energy and stuff. It’s too much for me, I tell ya. But some folks, they keep track of all this, every single day. Daily Astrology, it’s a whole ‘nother level.
So, there ya have it. That’s what I know ‘bout this here zodiac calendar thing. Animals, signs, the moon, the stars… it’s all mixed up together. Maybe it means somethin’, maybe it don’t. But it’s been around for a long, long time, so I guess there must be somethin’ to it, right? Or maybe it’s just a bunch of hooey. Who knows? I surely don’t.
