Years of the Sea, of Balance and Wisdom
The years of the the Sea are years when lessons are learned through hardship and tribulation. To survive these hardships we must acquire a good set of sea legs - means to rise above the troubles and find our own path.

Like the Sea, these years are calm, stormy and choppy from time to time and occasionally all at once. Those born in the year of the Sea have learned to anticipate and accomodate such hardships.

Years of the Crane

Concept: The crane is a symbol of balance; balance through wisdom.

Born:
Those born in the year of the crane are often faced with having to navigate through the hazards of life to find their own balance. Like the crane picking its way through the reeds at the edge of the waters, they move from one leg to the other - gently picking the way through potential danger. Cranes will have hardship thrown at them over and over again but they have the capacity to find a balance that may not work for anyone else.


Year: The year of the Crane is all about figuring out some sense of balance for your life. It may not work for other people but if it works for you - if you can find some sense of balance, embrace it.

Year of the Serpent
2006
1994
1982
1970
1958
1946

Born:
Those born in the year of the Serpent are continually reinventing themselves. Whether they stick to a New Year’s resolution or not, they seem to always be itching at their life, never satisfied with what they are for long. One year it’s yoga, the next it’s a tattoo. They are also more likely to change their appearance to match their ever-dynamic personality.

Year:
The year of the Serpent is a year of transformation. In this year, you will slowly scratch yourself along the rocks to free your from the itchy dead skin of years past. The process of pulling the skin from your body is a painful process that can last the whole of the year but in the end you will have been transformed into something greater than you were.
