Astrology is nonsense of course but nonetheless found this interesting...didn't know about it until I went to see this exhibit by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei.

According to the Chinese zodiac 2020, beginning in February 2020 is the year of the rat. More specifically the year of the metal rat. Due to the alignment of elements it is a "gengzi year" which occurs every 60 years and is supposed to coincide with some sort of cataclysmic disaster that also remakes the world.
"In 1840, the First Opium War served as a prelude for the transformation of China when it was forced to open its ports and Hong Kong was relinquished to England. In 1900, churches were burned and Christian missionaries massacred as part of the Boxer Rebellion just as Empress Cixi declared war on the United Kingdom, United States, France, Russia, Germany, Japan, Italy and Austria before Beijing was taken in August.
In 1960, China experienced a great famine and it was at this point that Ai and his family reached a turning point. His poet father, Ai Qing, was sent to the Eighth Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Shihezi where Ai lived for 16 years.
In terms of the existence of human civilisation, 60 years is not a long time. However, most people will only see one such year of the rat in their lifetime."
- Interesting, so after this we're cool for another 60 years?grafician
- them too? Its also the beginning of the age of aquarius. I take these with a grain of salt but a lot of astrologers predicted a disaster year last year.Beeswax
