The Outer Animal is traditionally what most Westerners think of when theythink of Chinese Astrology. It is the animal assigned to all persons born within
any given year.
The Outer Animal is the most superficial element of the zodiac- it is simply
the way that you appear outwardly to others, not necessarily how you really
are.

hour. It is therefore important to know the exact time of birth to determine
it. It is also important to compensate for daylight savings time.

Thanks for using my bulletin board! Feel free
to add a colored background to the slides if you can spare the colored ink (an orange fade
works well). You can also leave this page off of
your board, I just wanted to wish you luck! I hope your residents love it and that you have
a great semester!
