Somehow Chinese Astrology came to my attention, and I researched it a bit. Astrology is mostly an ancient wisdom, developed over a long period of time, where plenty of logics in personalities and events based on specific dates were found. Although nowadays people are quite sceptic about these things, I must say these ancient descriptions make a lot of sense.
Actually I'm wondering what people think about it here. And if you can relate to the "animal" you are!
For the record: I'm a Snake Obviously it makes sense, right?
Also I would appreciate it if you would vote in the poll, so we might know if certain "animals" are typical Virtonomics players!
You can find the poll here: http://goo.gl/VmIsIJ (Virtonomics forum poll only allows 10 options)
Pig here, I guess that it explains my bathing habits.
Anyway, just like any Zodiac, I find it quite hard to believe that all people born under certain circustances can be grouped in a same fate. Chinese made it by year, our classic Zodiac does it per partial months. I guess the mechanics of the Universe and the fate are too complex to reduce it to an artificial grouping created by humans.
Pigs are more likeable than snakes, I'm kinda jealous of you now I read the description lol The grass is always greener at the neighbours I guess
And you're right, it doesn't really decide your fate. But the personalities and how it matches with others seem to make quite some sense. Probably some old people in the ancient times thought it was fun to research people of certain ages and found some connections between them.
I'm a rat which they say are instinctive, acute and alert in nature which makes them to be brilliant businessmen (and... ahem... businesswomen I'm SURE they meant to say). Which makes it even funnier to me since this is a business-oriented game, and all. I'm thinking those "old people in ancient times" were bored, too, and sitting around one day going "Hey, you know how we can REALLY mess with future generations...."
