What’s Your MAHABOTE STAR SIGN?
There are many forms of astrology in the world,
but in Myanmar, there exists a very simple system that combines the energies of the cosmic planets

The 8 ANIMALS OF THE BURMESE ZODIAC The Mahabote Zodiac has 8 animal signs, all corresponding to one of the 7 days of the week (Wednesday is represented twice in the zodiac). The Number 8 is thus considered an auspicious number in Myanmar and it is believed to represent a state where all the cosmic energies are in perfect balance. The eight animal signs also represent the 8 cardinal and secondary directions of the compass; and each of the eight houses is ruled by one of the eight astrological planets. So how do you know which Burmese animal sign are you? First you need to work out which day of the week you were born. This can easily be looked up if you own a 1000-year calendar. Alternatively, simply Google “Day of Birth” and you will find many websites that will calculate your day of birth for free.

At work, you have the tendency to focus on details and like to succeed on your own merits. Like Tigers in the wild, you work best alone. You are the sort of person who needs your own space to thrive. With the Moon as your ruling planet, you are blessed with inner powers of divination, intuition and spirituality. It is thought that girls born on Monday capture the feminine essence of the Moon Goddess and are believed to make excellent wives and bear many children. Monday people are typically more in touch with their inner self
