## _Weekly Challenge Entry_

> side note: Inspired by @jessica72

I remember another challenge about Zodiacs & since I was learning astrology from the very beginning, I had no idea about a primal zodiac! So I went on a research escapade.

> According to The Chinese Zodiac, I was born in the year of the **Fire snake 🐍**  
> My Primal Zodiac is the **Anglerfish**. Have you ever seen one of these?.. Not precisely a gorgeous species.
> 
> The Year of The Snake corresponds with the number 54  
> Personality: Brilliant & passionate, very charismatic & endowed with a captivating sensuality, Can occasionally be suspicious & selfish, which can sometimes make them lose precious friendships. The tendency of the fire snake to always bring everything back to them, combined with latent authoritarianism, make them a complicated & fascinating friend or partner, even if a bit stifling. Their charm & intelligence are indispensable assets to satisfy his quest for power & financial success.

**Planet:** Saturn :astrology_saturn:, **Pillar of Destiny** The earth buried in the sand, **Polarity** Yin, **Crystal** Labradorite

> **The Anglerfish as a Primal Zodiac** Powerful, clever, and determined, those born under the sign of the Anglerfish are mysterious individuals who use their immense intellect to outwit others in the game of life. And to them, life is a game, a challenge to be won. Just like a professional poker player, they keep a straight face & keep others guessing about their next move. It can be very hard to know what an Anglerfish is thinking or feeling since they rarely ever talk about their inner fears or hesitations.

## Chinese lunisolar calendar[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lunisolar_calendar&action=edit&section=2)]

The [Chinese calendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_calendar) or [Chinese lunisolar calendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_lunisolar_calendar) is also called Agricultural Calendar [農曆; 农历; Nónglì; ‘farming calendar’], or Yin Calendar [陰曆; 阴历; Yīnlì; ‘yin calendar’]), based on the concept of [Yin Yang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_Yang) and astronomical phenomena, as movements of the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn (known as the seven luminaries) are the references for the Chinese lunisolar calendar calculations.
