Here is another cloud formation that I saw during the "Snow Moon" last February 16 after my post of "dragon head" moon photos. I call this cloud formation as "bonfire moon" photo because the image there looks like a bonfire with the moon in the center as the fire and there are images that look like animals seated around it. I can see a snake, pig, sheep, rabbit, rat, dog, tiger, horse, dragon... Now, I know why the Chinese have animals in their lunar calendar...😁 Well, this has really made me curious as to how the animals in the Chinese Zodiac calendar started... And so, I asked Mr. Google and I came to know that there was a tale about the origin. In ancient times, one of the Chinese gods, the Jade Emperor wanted animals to be included in the lunar calendar. And so he invited the animals to participate in a race... The twelve animals who have arrived first were given a name of the zodiac and given a rank number based on their order of arrival. The very first who arrived was the rat, next was the ox and so on... Each animal represents a year. Every year the animal changes in the calendar at the start of the Chinese new year and rotates every 12 years. If you wanna read the full story here is the link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zd9nd6fp And we'll, each animal also is thought to have a representation and symbolism for those born on that particular year. This year 2022 is the year of the tiger and it is believed that those born in this year were have the qualities of a tiger such as courage and bravery.🐯 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/driving-evil-year-tiger-symbolize-rcna14411 In fact, each culture has its own calendar and symbolism. Though I don't believe in such superstitions, it's interesting and fascinating to learn about them, and the qood qualities that we can obtain. It says in the Word of God, that every day is good. As long as we offer it to God in prayer. Sharing you this Bible verse as a source of inspiration and enlightenment...😇 "This is the day which the LORD hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it."
