The Chinese calendar is based
upon a twelve-year cycle of
animal-years. First determine
from the table below which year
you fall in, and then use the
horoscopes cast below: these
have been divined from the
I Ching: the Chinese Book of
Changes first referred to in
MANIFOLD-6, and again in
MANIFOLD-7.
