As the tale goes, the gods decided to host a contest to see which animal could cross a river first. The winner would claim first in the cycle, and the following eleven would go in order. As the rat was the tiniest of the lot, the other animals figured he was guaranteed a last-place finish. When the race started, however, the smart rat hopped on the back of the ox. As the ox was jumping to victory, the rat leapt off his back and won the race instead. Here is how the rest of the race finished up:

Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.

This is the story behind the Chinese Astrology. Each animal has unique characteristics, and you will adopt those based on the year of which you were born. Our blends contain certain oils that will encourage the positive traits of each animal.
