Well, let me tell ya, figuring out this 1889 zodiac thing is like tryin’ to catch a greased pig at the county fair – slippery business!
What’s the deal with 1889, you ask? I heard some folks sayin’ it’s the Snake. Yeah, a snake! Imagine that, bein’ born in the year of the slitherin’ critter. Makes you wonder if them 1889 babies were prone to hissin’ and bitin’, haha!
But then, hold on a minute, somebody else chirps up and says it’s the Ox! Now, that’s a whole different animal, ain’t it? Big and strong, steady as a rock. You know, the kind that plows the fields all day and never complains. So, which is it, a sneaky snake or a stubborn ox? Makes a body scratch their head, I tell ya.
- 1889 Chinese Zodiac: Snake or Ox? That’s the big question, seems like nobody can quite agree.
- Lunar Cycle Thingy: They say this zodiac stuff goes by a twelve-year moon thing. Every year gets an animal, like a big ol’ farm calendar, I guess.
- Birthday Year Matters: Whatever year you popped outta your mama, that’s your animal, simple as that. 1889, well, that’s where the snake and ox mess starts.
Now, some fancy website I stumbled upon, it said 1889 was for sure the Ox. Said them Ox folks are patient. Well, I reckon they’d have to be, waitin’ around for all this zodiac confusion to get sorted out!
Then, wouldn’t you know it, another place pops up sayin’ it’s the Earth Ox! Land sakes, they just keep addin’ to it, don’t they? Earth Ox, huh? Guess that means them 1889 folks were extra down-to-earth, maybe good at growin’ taters or somethin’.
And get this, January 31, 1889, was the start of somethin’ special. A new Chinese year, they say. Well, I always figured January was the start of somethin’ new, seein’ as it’s right after that cold spell and all. But this zodiac thing, it’s a whole ‘nother layer of newness, I suppose.
What kind of folks were them 1889 babies, snake or ox or whatever? Well, if they were snakes, maybe they were smart and quick, like them garden snakes that disappear before you can even blink. If they were oxen, maybe they were strong and steady, like my old Bessie who could pull a plow through anything.
Someone even mentioned the moon messing with things, a Capricorn Moon or some such nonsense. Said it made folks determined and reliable. Now, I always thought the moon just made the tides go in and out, but what do I know? Maybe it does make some folks stubborn as a mule.
Then, this one fella, he starts talkin’ ‘bout rabbits and luck! Rabbits bein’ the luckiest, he says. Elegant and peaceful, too. Now, rabbits are cute and all, but lucky? I always thought a four-leaf clover was lucky, but maybe rabbits got somethin’ goin’ on I don’t know about.
And wouldn’t you know it, someone brings up the year of the Snake again, but now they’re talkin’ ‘bout 1989 babies! Says they’re smart, diligent, and love animals. Well, maybe that snake ain’t so bad after all, bein’ kind to critters and all. But that doesn’t help us much with our 1889 mystery, does it?
So, what’s the final word on 1889? Well, I reckon it depends on who you ask. Some say snake, some say ox, some say earth ox, and some probably say somethin’ else entirely. It’s like tryin’ to count chickens before they hatch, you just can’t be too sure. But one thing’s for certain, them 1889 folks, whatever their animal, they sure left us with a puzzle to chew on, didn’t they?
This whole zodiac thing, it’s kinda like lookin’ at the clouds. You can see all sorts of shapes and critters up there, but it’s all in how you look at it. Maybe them 1889 folks were a little bit snake, a little bit ox, and a whole lotta somethin’ else. Who’s to say for sure? Not this old gal, that’s for certain!
