White Tiger (Zodiac)

A lot of pregnants in Korea is excited to deliver their baby in 2010. Because it is "White-Tiger" zodiac year which comes every 60 years. There are 12 zodiacs we have but also have other 10 criterions. So, it takes 60 years to be exactly same zodiac with the same criterions. And every 12 years, we can meet Tiger zodiac but 2010 is the first"White-Tiger"zodiac in 21C. Then, why is people excited for this zodiac? People have believed the baby who are born this year becomes brilliant and excellent officer. And elders usually don't prefer to deliver girls in Tiger zodiac year because they think the girl with the zodiac is too much strong. But they don't have to worry about "White-Tiger" zodiac baby.

If someone say it's just our traditional customs, i cannot refutate it. But I still don't understand why people believe and care about this when they have plan for baby. At least until now, i cannot find any coincidence between the personality and the zodiac....

  1. This is little strange, so what Bo, women will go as far having an abortion just to follow some superficial tradition?!
    Even though I don't believe in this nonsense, however having a boy's zodiac as a "white tiger" does sound cool :)

  2. i always thought that the Chinese zodiac was really interesting. i just know that i was born in the year of the dragon but i don't know what color or anything (1988). Sometimes the horoscopes and descriptions of the dragon fit me but I don't know if it's just a coincidence.

  3. lol i think chinese have something like this too. i think it may even be the same thing. anyways it sounds cool and stuff but as long as the baby is healthy i dont think it really matters, boy or girl. i do think that boys are more environmentally friendly than girls though LOL. sometimes i wonder whats the best month for a child to be born in. there are always different advantages/disadvantages lol

  5. i will swear up and down that i don't believe in astrology and zodiac signs but if i come across my horoscope (cancer) or zodiac sign (year of the rabbit in the Chinese calendar), i will read it. funny though-- it always seems to apply to my life.
