The chinese know best....

I can't help but feel that over time, we've started getting the concept of chinese astrology a bit wrong.

I've done studying and have seen numerous websites speaking about chinese astrology but then I've also found websites and videos where chinese scholars in the subject explain it differently and make it sound more realistic.

Then I spoke to my dad who mentioned something about Ley Lines and how they also play a part in how the chinese came to figuring it out.

It's also connected with chakras and acupuncture as similar schools of thought.

I'm willing to bet not many people here will have a clue where I'm coming from too....

    Right, that's what I usually say-- "astrology is a misnomer."
    "Chinese Astrology" is a system of numerology based on
    the I Ching, the Taiji (yin and yang philosophy), five elements,
    seasons and time, feng shui, and Qi Gong, Taoism and
    Chinese medicine.

    But I won't agree that Traditional Chinese mysticism and
    metaphysics is "the best."

      since you are in england red jack I would go and visit some of the old stone rings. There are quite a few good ones. Good place for a picnic with a nice lady. Just feel the stones until your mind rolls. Which reminds me try rollright stones. A VERY good ring for fertility ;-)

        Old stone rings? I'm not sure where they are exactly.

        Unless you're referring to stonehenge or something....

          yes stonehenge is the best well known one. A lot of rings in Britain. I'm surprised so many people have forgotten the magic of the old sites. Look up stone rings britain or something in google and you will find there are a LOT of them. Mostly southern england other than the rollright stones and a few rings such as Sunhoney et al in Scotland too.
