Year 2005 of Chinese Astrology Green Rooster Year |
|
|
Year 2005 is a Chinese Green Wooden Rooster or Chicken Year. Why did the Chinese name
the year 2005 as the Green Chicken Year? Chinese calendar used the Stem-Branch system to count the days, months and years. There are 10 Stems and 12 Branches in
this system. Stems are named by the Yin-Yang and Five Elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth). The Stem sequence order is
 Yang Wood, Yin Wood, Yang Fire, Yin Fire, Yang Earth, Yin Earth, Yang Metal, Yin Metal, Yang Water and Yin Water. Branches use the animal names. |
The Branch sequence order is
Rat, Cow, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Dog and Pig. Stem and Branch are used together to form a cycle of 60 counting systems which begin
with
Wooden Rat and end with
Water Pig. You can see the entire sequence from the
Chinese New Year's page. From Year 1924 to 1983 is a complete cycle. Year 2005 is
Male Wooden Chicken
, the 22nd of the Stem-Branch in the system. Because Wood
(Tree) is equivalent to color Green in the Five-Element system, Year 2005 is also called Green
Chicken year.
2004 was the Green Monkey year. Monkey is in the Metal group. So 2004 was a Metal year. 2005 is the Green Chicken year. Chicken is in the Metal group, too. So 2005 is a Metal year again. This means 2005 is the continuation of previous Metal cycle. Most of people should have about the same luck in 2005 as in 2004. If you have unfinished business in 2004, then you need to continue to deal with it during 2005.
Chinese New Year

The Chinese New Year day is on February 9th, 2005. Because this is a new moon day, it is the first day of the first Chinese lunar month in the Chinese Lunar Calendar system. The new moon time is at 06:28 on 9-Feb-05 in China time zone. However, the new moon time is at 14:28 of 8-Feb-05 in the US Pacific Standard Time and also at 17:28 of 8-Feb-05 in the US Eastern Standard Time, so the Chinese New Year day is on February 8th, 2005 for USA time zones. |
In China, the first day of the Green Chicken Year is February 4th, 2005 in the Fortune-Telling Calendar system, because February 4th, 2005 is the first day of Tiger month and the Tiger month is the first month of a year in Chinese Fortune-Telling Calendar system.
In the Chinese Fortune-Telling calendar, the first day of the first month, Tiger month, is called "Start of Spring", which is when the sun enters the 315th degree on the tropical zodiac. In the China time zone, the time of Start of Spring is at 02-04 01:42. So the first day of the Green Chicken year 2005 is on 04-Feb-05. For USA, the time of Start of Spring is on 02-03 at 09:42 PST and 02-03 at 12:42 EST, therefore we can say that the first day of the Chinese Green Chicken year is February 3rd, 2005 in USA time zones.
The Year 2005 (Green Chicken) is the 4702nd Chinese year. The Chinese believe that the first king of China was the Yellow King (he was not the first emperor of China). The Yellow King became king in 2697 B.C., therefore China will enter the 4702nd year on February 4th, 2005. Also, the Chinese Year uses the cycle of 60 Stem-Branch counting systems and the Green Chicken is the 22nd Stem-Branch in the cycle. Since 4700 = (60 *78) + 22, therefore this Green Chicken Year is the 4702nd Chinese Year.
Some web sites say the year 2005 is the 4703rd Chinese year. If you cannot find the explanation, here is a possible answer for you. The Yellow King's inauguration was held in the spring of 2697 B.C. But the calendar of Yellow King used the winter solstice day as the first day of the year. So the first winter solstice was on around December 23rd, 2698 B.C. Today's January 1st means nothing to Yellow King. If we count that extra eight days in 2698 B.C. for a year, then year 2005 is the 4703rd Chinese year.
Forecast using the theory of Five Elements
The major elements in the Green
Chicken are Wood and Metal. According to the Five Element Relationship, we know there is a conflict between Wood and Metal. So the disputes and arguments are there for many people in 2005.
Actually, the most of conflicts came from the events in 2004. Any unfinished
good or bad business from 2004 will continue to occur in 2005.
The 2004 Green Monkey contains Wood, Metal and Water. Water can diminish the conflict between Wood and Metal. There is no Water in 2005. So the disagreement between Wood and Metal will last longer and stronger.
The prediction for people luck in this web site is using the Five Elements, not the yearly animal sign you were born. So you need to know your Lucky Element before finding out your fortune in 2005.
Basically, your luck will be about the same as 2004. Wood and Metal in 2005 are opposite elements. Many people should have good and bad luck during 2005. If Wood represents money to you, then your money luck in 2005 is "money comes, then money goes". If Metal represents your money, then "money goes, then money comes" is your money luck in 2005.
If your lucky element is Metal, you should have better luck than others.
Especially, if you have a Male Metal
in your
birth chart or Major 10-year cycles, this 2005
should be one of the best years in your life.
Love and Marriage
Chicken is one of a romantic star in Chinese astrology. People born in years
of Rat, Dragon, Monkey will desire the love from opposite sex. People born in
years of Rabbit and Horse have more opportunity to meet and close the opposite
sex, too.
If your Day Master in the birth chart is the Male
Metal , then you
have a good marriage luck in 2005, specially if you are a male. This is because
Male Metal and
Female Wood
have the attraction relationship, which is
similar with people's love relationship.
You can check your love and marriage luck in 2005 from Angel love Match reports.
