What are Myanmar Zodiac Signs?
Myanmar Zodiac signs are the traditional astrological system. It was invented by the ancient monks. They created this system by combining their knowledge of the cosmic world and their observations of the skies and the animal kingdom.
This ancient branch of astrology is called Mahabote. It is translated to mean “little vessel” or “little key”. The meaning is probably because Mahabote is a smaller branch-off from the larger Hindu astrological system.
Unlike Western astrology, the Myanmar astrology system has only eight zodiac signs. Eight is considered as scared number. It is said the number eight reflects harmony in energy: deflecting imbalance and ever perpetuating congruence.
There are four essential elements in Myanmar astrology and all of them relate to number eight:
♦ Eight Planetary Energies: the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and a secret Burmese planet named Rahu.
Rahu is unique that it is not a planet, but a conceptual celestial presence. Literally defined, Rahu is the point of intersection between the earth, sun and moon at the time of eclipse.
♦ Eight Days of the Week
In order to have one extra day, the ancient Myanmar monks split Wednesday in half making two days: Wednesday morning (12:01 a.m to 12:00 p.m.) and Wednesday afternoon (12:01 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.).
♦ Eight Cardinal Directions: North, South, East, West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest.
Each direction vibrates in its own distinct symbolic energy. According to your day of birth, your direction should prove beneficial for you.
