Summer and the rise of yang

First day of summer tomorrow and I'm sure we are all looking forward to some better weather and approaching holidays! Not to mention a bit of summer loving ;) Here at Chinese Love Horoscopes, we totally approve of this time of year of course.

But why would summer have anything to do with Chinese astrology you ask? Because this relates to a yearly cycle that includes the opposite energies of yin and yang. Yin represents the darker months and encourages rest and recuperation over these seasons. But come spring and leading into summertime, yang's energies rise to be more powerful and it gives us the chance to bloom and grow to our full potential.

So how will summer affect the different signs of the Chinese love horoscope? Let's take a look!

Rat - The summer is a time of plenty for the rat and relationships will be blessed with extra security. If you are a single rat, it is likely that love is to be found closer to home than you might have thought.

Ox - Those born under the sign of the Ox love this time of year and enjoy the feeling of being useful to those around them. Allow yourself to thrive and you will build some strong foundations in your relationships for the rest of the year.

Tiger - Summer tends to make the Tiger a little impetuous and so make sure that you don't make any rash decisions and confuse those around you. It is a great time for you to show others that you care though as it will seem much easier for you.

Rabbit - The Rabbit would do well to avoid any kind of argument or conflict at this time of year as it does tend to go to their heads and get out of hand. For Rabbits with a family, this is the time of year to make them your priority.

Dragon - The Dragon likes changeable times and the summertime needs to be unsettled for him or her to thrive. So if it's sunny one minute and raining the next, the Dragon will full of energy and romantic trysts will be more likely!

Snake - If you are born in the year of the snake, you are likely to feel like slowing down over summer and may even be prone to a lazy streak at this time. But if you are wanting to get closer to one, this is the time to do it! They will be more susceptible to your advances ;)

Horse - The Horse can be a little prone to spontaneity at the best of times but in the summer, there is no stopping them! With regards love, this will be the time for flings and holiday romances.

Sheep - Over the summer, Sheep like to be around others even more than usual and so they are to be found at parties and gatherings as often as their busy schedules will allow! A good time for single sheep to pick up some admirers along the way.

Monkey - Those born under the sign of the Monkey do love to play over summer! This would be the best time to encourage them to be more creative or even to widen social circles. In love, the Monkey is very relaxed and a good friend at this time of year too.

Rooster - The Rooster likes to party over summer. They hate to waste the long summer evenings and they are drawn to the light and the warmth. Not always such a good time to be the partner of a Rooster though as they can put their energies all into work if they feel inclined.

Dog - In the summer, the Dog likes to focus on those close to them and so established relationships will flourish. This doesn't mean that single Dog's will not find anyone though but starting with a friendship will probably work best.

Boar - If there is a time for those born under the sign of the Boar to fall in love and thrive in a relationship it's the summertime. This is when they like to play and you will see the fun side of their personalities. Relationships that do start at this time though are likely to last and not just be a fling.

Chinese Love Horoscope

It's the Snake that wins the Chinese love horoscope vote for today - but only if you're in a relationship already. It's more common to see love forecasts for those who are single and looking for a bit of passion to come into their lives so actually it's nice to see a positive result for those snuggling down on the sofa together ;)

But stability and consistency rule the day for the Snake today in emotional matters so time to appreciate the one you love. 

Chinese Love Horoscope

The Chinese love horoscope for today is with the Ox. There are so many open emotions to those born under this sign today so it's a time to get close to loved ones and attempt to get close to those you'd LIKE to be loved ones! 

Chinese Love Horoscope

Today's Chinese love horoscope is certainly with the Horse today! There is a great feeling of a new phase of life starting and finding new love is very possible.

Chinese Horoscope Compatibility

Who do you match with best in your love life? Do you find that there are certain characteristics that you are always drawn to? You may be surprised to learn that Chinese horoscope compatibility may be able to offer you some insight to why you are drawn to who you are! 

So who, in the Chinese horoscope compatibility charts, do you match well with? 

Chinese horoscope compatibility - First Triangle of Affinity

Those born under the Chinese signs of the Rat, the Dragon and the Monkey. The characteristics that these vibrant personalities have in common is that they are all very energetic and driven. They like to have success in their careers and will want to have financial rewards for their efforts. They will not hold back from displaying their good fortune to the world! 

In love they can be very supportive and like to ensure that their loved ones have all they need. But they can also be demanding and need plenty of attention and reassurance. When they get together, these signs will offer lots of fun and occasionally, passionate rows!

Chinese horoscope compatibility - Second Triangle of Affinity

This includes those born under the Chinese signs of the Ox, the Snake and the Rooster. What these signs have in common is their reliability and their logical, one might say unemotional, thinking. They are solid, hard workers and believe firmly in no pain, no gain. But they are also deep thinkers too and often can include reading, art and theatre amongst their hobbies. 

In love, they can sometimes be hard to fathom. They tend to show they care by offering practical help rather than with grand displays. But they will always be there for someone they care about. Together, they are extremely loyal couplings!

Chinese horoscope compatibility - Third Triangle of Affinity

The third triangle of affinity is the Chinese signs of the Tiger, the Horse and the Dog. They are honest and open in their nature so people feel very relaxed in their company. They prefer to act on their instincts, which can be very tuned in to others' feelings and situations. 

In love they are expressive and like the object of their desire to feel desired and special. They have been known to be a little fickle though. When they get together, people of these signs tend to fall head over heels quickly to the exclusion of everyone else in their lives!

Chinese horoscope compatibility - Fourth Triangle of Affinity

The fourth triangle of affinity is those born under the Chinese signs of the Rabbit, the Sheep and the Boar. They are kind, thoughtful and tend to put manners before ambition. That said, they are very loyal too so do make good workers and have every chance of doing well for themselves, career-wise. 

In love they are at times a little flighty and possibly needy. But they otherwise make perfect partners as they are both dedicated to their partners and able to show their true and deepest feelings. When they get into relationships with one another, all of their emotional needs will be met and the chemistry remains long term. 

Chinese Love Horoscope

Today's Chinese love horoscope would have to go to the Rabbit! Kind and sensitive in nature, the typical Rabbit feels love but isn't always the first to display these feelings. So when a more encouraging energy comes around those born under the sign of the Rabbit, it's a nice release to let the love and affection out. 

Chinese Love Horoscope

Today, the Chinese love horoscope would have to be with the Monkey. There is a lovely openness to their emotional energies today and any minor issues will melt away when addressed in their charming and persuasive manner. So if you're born under the sign of the Monkey, give that cheeky grin of yours as much as you can today - it's a winner!

Daily Chinese Love Horoscope - 25/05/10

Chinese Horoscope Monthly - April to May

We have hit the next lunar month for the Chinese Horoscopes so here are your Chinese love horoscopes for April - May 2010. 

Rat - Emotions may run a little high in rat households at this time and it is important not to over-react if you can help it. For single rats, there seems to be the chance of a new love around you this month! 

Ox - The ox will likely feel a bit uncertain of themselves this month and so this is not the time to instigate change. Try to stick to what you know, move towards stability and relationships will get past these unsettled feelings. And if you are after someone you like, try hard to avoid confusing them.

Tiger - This month is a time for opportunities for you! If you are single, and there is someone you've had your eye on for a while, now is the time for you to up your game. You are surrounded with a strong energy and should see rewards for your extra efforts ;)

Rabbit - This is a good time for the rabbit as strong and intimate connections are around them this month and this suits the rabbit's character down to the ground. So communication and opening up is around you at this time. 

Dragon - Dragons may have been doing a lot of thinking recently - relationships may have been analysed or if you are single, you may have been assessing your progress. Now is the time to act on these thoughts and to turn them into plans of action. 

Snake - Snakes in love are under pressure this month. There always seems to be too much to do. So this is a good time to prioritise and not let all the good work you've put into getting the attention of someone special go to waste!

Horse - Relationships are going to take a little extra effort this month, partners have found you a bit confusing and flighty of late. So even if you don't see where you've made mistakes, tell those who are special to you how you feel.

Sheep - It could well be 1 step forward, 2 steps back for the sheep in love this month. Keep your cool and try not to get frustrated as this will only drive the person you like away from you. Take it easy and try to maintain the right balance. 

Monkey - If you are getting to know someone new in your love life, or are already in a relationship, this is the time to make things cosy. There is an open and relaxed energy around you at the moment and you will be good to be around. Use it!

Rooster - This month the rooster may well be feeling at odds with everyone and everything which isn't great for their love lives! So try not to be too contrary, maybe give in from time to time ;)

Dog - This is a good time for Dog's who have been chasing someone they like! You're going to have a Eureka moment where you suddenly work out what was meant and what you can do to turn the situation around. 

Boar - The boar seems to be a bit of a magnet when it comes to admirers this month. So for single boars you'll find you have range of choices. For those in relationships, take it as a confidence boost!

Chinese Love Horoscopes - Horoscope for the Day

There is a very clear and bright energy around today, 25th March, and so this is an excellent time to evaluate your life and where you see yourself heading. This is especially true for relationships today. It needn't mean that you have to look at the problems, you can also look at what you need to emphasise and what you need to make more of. 

Chinese Love Horoscopes - Love in the Year of the Metal Tiger

Seeing as the Year of the Metal Tiger began on Valentine’s Day, thoughts will naturally have turned to love! So what influence can this passionate sign have on all of us this year? 

The Metal Tiger is a great sign for romance. It represents determination - and for love this means an unstoppable charm offensive. It is a year for knowing exactly what you want and going all out to get it. Don’t let others influence you and tell you what’s good for you. Let your heart lead the way. 

So how can this year affect your sign? 

For those born under the Tiger, Horse or Dog you are going to find yourself the most open to these powerful energies. Love is going to be central to your life over the next year and you’ll be brimming with confidence. If you’ve had your heart set on someone for a while now, you’ll start to see some exciting changes come about with all the extra effort you’ll be putting in. 

For those born in the years of the Rabbit, Dragon or the Boar you will also be greatly affected by the Year of the Metal Tiger. You may need to work a little harder than those mentioned above but these energies will be around you. Reach out and you will start to make progress. 

As for the Rat, Ox, Snake, Sheep and Rooster? Don’t despair! You are not being left out of the fun, but may find yourselves on the outskirts of it. Love can come to you but you are likely to find the energies a little more changeable than for the other signs. 

The Tiger’s opposite is the Monkey and this is the sign that will suffer the most this year. The Monkey’s usual tricks are just not going to be as successful as they normally are. This may cause confusion at first, but the adaptable and quick-thinking Monkey will no doubt have found a solution before the year is out!
