Zodiac observer

I guess I’m one of those people who are interested in these sorts of things like some people are into conspiracy theories but for me it’s the Chinese zodiac. I can't say that I outright believe it but I can say that I've observed enough zodiac coincidences to convince me to keep me interested and look for more. I'm not a follower I'm an observer. It's a habit and a hobby. It started for me sometime last year but can’t exactly remember when. To think that an entire year has a sort of trend or thematic elements associated with a certain animal and that year builds the tracks for a new trend is fascinating. Though the zodiac is associated with animals I think that the animals embody a sort of inspiration for whatever it is that completes that cycle. I think the animals are cosmetic emblems associated with that year. There is also an elemental cycle that runs through the zodiac as well one that changes every two years. All in all the cycle takes 60 years for it to return to a year that has the same element and the same animal. Every animal has an opposite or an enemy according to Wikipedia every thirty years the opposite animal of the same element occurs which goes along with the sort of cultural cycle.
Outright I don’t believe that every personality trait of every human being fits exactly into a cookie cutter zodiac description you find on some BS website predicts a sort of box for every person and year to fall into. I think though it’s pretty accurate for the most part in laying out the personalities of my friends and family. The Zodiac personality descriptions are somewhat vague I agree. Yes. Do I believe that everyone born in a certain year acts exactly the same way? No. But the zodiac I think is interesting in that it in itself is complete system of change. I also think that perhaps that although the zodiac doesn’t account for all the personality types of but perhaps there’s a general template for people born in a year in that they live through cultural events and a certain cultural conditions that if left to there own devices will give you a generic and typical specimen born from that year. Maybe it’s the way the media changes that influences personality types to be formed and change from one trend to another. It would be interesting to know how the zodiac came to be and if there were any previous pre-zodiac archetype that it drew from. I think that it works like any good system does in that it has a constant loop of cause and effect from one animal to another and somehow it has gotten all the timing just right. There aren’t many people who are interested in the zodiac like me so maybe I’m one person in however many hundreds, thousands, millions, that the zodiac does lay out a sort of likeness to my personality and my family, or maybe I’m just gullible.
