What's the next sign?
According to the eastern horoscope, after the year of the Pig the year of the Rat will come. This animal knows how to adapt to any situation, and it knows exactly how to achieve its goal.

It is worth noting that it is the Rat that opens the next zodiac cycle. The Chinese calendar has its own sequence of signs, where animals follow strictly in order.
Where did this sequence come from?
There are several interesting legends about the appearance of the eastern horoscope. Every resident of China knows the most popular one. On his holiday, Buddha decided to invite all those animals who want to come to him. As a result, 12 animals came to him. It was not easy for the animals to get to the Buddha. It was cold, and in front there was a large river, which is not so easy to swim across. As a sign of his respect and gratitude, the Buddha gave each animal a whole year of reign.
The very first was the Rat. She was so smart and cunning that it was only thanks to her ingenuity that she got the very first. Since she was afraid of water, she asked the Bull to carry her on her back. He agreed. Coming out of the water, the Bull shook off the water for a long time, and the Rat, without wasting time, was the very first in front of the Buddha. Therefore, she got the first year of the 12-year cycle.
The second was, accordingly, the Bull himself, who was very surprised to see the Rat. Followed by Tiger, who has always competed with the Bull and tried to keep up with him.
Then came Cat or Hare. Those present could not see the animal properly. Someone thought it was a Rabbit, someone imagined a Cat. The fifth was The Dragon... Followed by Snakefollowed by Horse.
When fog descended on the river, it was not clear who was the eighth. Perhaps it was Goat or Sheep. Then she swam across the river A monkeythen came Rooster... And after him came running Dog... The last among the beasts was to be the Pig. But he was so lazy that he sent instead of himself Pig and it was she who got the final cycle of the year.
Another legend says that one day the Jade Emperor sent his servant in search of 12 of the most beautiful animals. Everyone was supposed to report to the emperor at 6 in the morning. Going in search, the servant invited all those animals that he met on the way. And the next day, at the appointed time, the animals, one after another, came to the meeting. The first to enter was the Bull, on whose back sat the Rat and played the pipe. The emperor was so surprised by her skill that he immediately gave her first place. The second, respectively, went to the Bull. After that, the emperor awarded all the other animals in turn.
