LadyBarbossa Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Being a Tiger myself... this is suppose to be a good year for me. We shall see. Up until now (granted it was still the Year of the Dog) has been crappy! Here's to th' Pig! In hopes it'll bring fortune. Otherwise, we'll all be havin' a Pig ROAST! ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

HarborMaster Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 It occurs every 60 years. Please elaborate..., what is the year of the golden pig ? Also they say this year is important for Chinese and Koreans to have babies. Fertility is on the move this year. The children will be lucky ! I am not Lost .,I am Exploring.

Lady Alyx Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Every 60 years is the year of the Golden Pig...not just year of pig .....Golden Pig. Golden Pig is supposed to bring much money! Year Of the Golden Pig ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjohn Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 The Chinese zodiac works on... let me think about this for a sec... branches and stems? Something like that. Anyway, the gist of it is, there are 12 signs, and 5 different elements (or colors, depending on your point of view). Thus, 12x5 gives you a 60 year cycle. However, I seem to recall reading there is an even deeper series of cycles, like 120, but I don't know much about that...

Lady Alyx Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well lets see how I do one the Million Dollar raffle - it ends March 17, so lets see how I do on that one first. So far I did not win either of the two preliminary pics for 10K on the raffle numbers. I think there are two more pics on it before the 17th. ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
