A child’s name and personality are based on birth sign. Each of the eight day signs also corresponds to a cardinal point and at temples one can go to pray at the point (north, north east, south, south east, etc.) corresponding to one’s sign and at other points depending on the advice of an astrologer.
The exact origins of the eight animals of Myanmar astrology - the Garuda, Tiger, Lion, Elephant, Tuskless Elephant, Rat, Guinea Pig and Dragon - remain a mystery. Nevertheless, these animals are important in Myanmar astrology. They are much more than general signposts to the day and to the possible good or bad times ahead for us all. The eight animals of the Myanmar astrology are considered to be a reflection of the universe itself.
