Published: 2026/01/15   Author: yifan   Source: network

Zodiac people mistakenly believe that the division of the zodiac is based on the first day of the lunar year (the first day of the first lunar month). In fact, the zodiac is determined by the "Start of Spring". Please follow "Huayi Network" to see what the Chinese zodiac was in 1980.


Answer: 1980 is the Year of Geng Shen in the lunar calendar, which is the Year of the Monkey. Therefore, people born in this year have the zodiac sign of Monkey.

Gregorian (solar) time:
From 18:21 on February 4, 1979 to 00:10 on February 5, 1980 - Lunar Year Ji Wei (Sheep Year), those born during this period are considered to be Sheep.
From 00:10 on February 5, 1980 to 06:00 on February 4, 1981 - Lunar Year Geng Shen (Monkey Year), those born during this period are considered to be Monkeys.

The love life of people born in the Year of the Monkey:
People born in the Year of the Monkey are humorous and even a bit comical in love, but they like to go out in groups when they start dating, making it difficult for others to understand their true feelings. Those who are easily offended may feel distant. However, when they are alone together, they will show their romantic side, leaving you deeply enchanted.

Destiny of people born in 1980
People born in 1980 in the Year of Geng Shen (Monkey) have a favorable relationship with the current year's water element (Ren Water), as the heavenly stem Geng (Metal) gives birth to Ren (Water), indicating a harmonious relationship with the year. This is a very auspicious situation. People born in 1980 are protected by the current year's Tai Sui, so their fortune is relatively ideal. The months that are less favorable are the first, tenth, and twelfth lunar months, as these months are in conflict or confrontation with their own zodiac signs, which can be unfavorable for career and health, and may even lead to illness. It is recommended to obtain a "Baijie Disaster-Preventing Peace Talisman" to neutralize various negative energies and ensure a safe year, turning around all unfavorable factors. In terms of wealth, there may be fluctuations, sometimes good and sometimes bad. It is recommended to obtain a "Wealth and Lucky Talisman" to stabilize and enhance your financial fortune, ensuring a steady income. In terms of personal relationships, care should be taken not to neglect your partner, as relationships may be unstable this year, and there may be fluctuations. Be careful to cherish your marriage life and prevent third parties from interfering. If you obtain a "Love and Relationship Talisman," your marriage can become more harmonious, avoiding emotional conflicts over small issues. It is recommended to obtain the combination of "Baijie Disaster-Preventing Peace Talisman + Wealth and Lucky Talisman + Love and Relationship Talisman." If you think it is too much, you can also choose only the first talisman or none at all. We are only giving suggestions for your reference and choice. You should make your decision according to your actual circumstances. These are sacred items, requiring true belief, sincerity, and genuine wishes. Once obtained, you must not regret or doubt them, as this would be a kind of sin.

What is the destiny of people born in 1980?
Answer: 1980 is the Year of Geng Shen in the lunar calendar, with the Five Elements belonging to the "Pomegranate Wood," commonly known as the "Wood Element."
Introduction to Pomegranate Wood
It comes from the "San Ming Huitong Lun," one of the types of Chinese fate calculation, representing the Five Elements of the year in the Sixty Jiazi system. It corresponds to the years of Geng Shen and Xin You. That is, people born in Geng Shen or Xin You years are all considered to have the Pomegranate Wood destiny. The Sixty Jiazi is the oldest method of chronological recording, which was summarized through long-term life experience, discovering that people born in these years have common characteristics. The Sixty Jiazi existed during the Xia Dynasty, with many oracle bone inscriptions discovered showing characters such as Wu Wu. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, with the emergence of various schools of thought, the Yin-Yang School focused on the study of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Feng Shui. Due to the burning of books by Emperor Qin Shi Huang and the promotion of Confucianism by Emperor Han Wu Di, the Five-Dou Rice Sect emerged as a peasant uprising group, replacing the Yin-Yang religion. They revered Laozi as their patriarch, while the original Yin-Yang religion gradually declined, mostly moving to Japan with scholars during the Han and Tang dynasties. This is why Taoism has the custom of respecting the old Yin-Yang teachings. This is to search for the research results left by the original Yin-Yang religion. Many popular novels like "The Grave Robbers" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" describe a lot of scenes about seeking ancient treasures and secret arts, reflecting the research results of the scholars of the Yin-Yang religion. Many movies and novels today depict Japanese Onmyoji, which actually originated from China, hence the similarities in talismans, Kijin, and Shikai techniques.
Pomegranate Wood
Geng Shen and Xin You Pomegranate Wood: This type of wood is similar to ginger in nature, its flowers are red like fire, it has multiple fruits on its branches, and its inside is bright. Its dry and branch elements are pure metal, but its sound element belongs to wood, meaning it is a transformation of wood. It can be placed in a pot to create a mountain, so it prefers a well-formed soil as its foundation, with city walls being the best, followed by house walls. However, it must have a balance between Yin and Yang, where Bing and Xin, Ding and Geng mutually serve as officials, and Wu and Xin, Ji and Yin mutually serve as ministers, which is auspicious. The four types of soil—Road, Wall, Inn, and Sand—are also auspicious if supported by mountains. If there is no support, it is useless. Among these, sand is the most auspicious. If the sound element of Bo Jin (a type of metal) has water and wood in its dry and branch elements, and the sound element of Pomegranate Wood has metal in its dry and branch elements, both lose their original nature and exchange their strength, with wood flourishing in the months of Zi and Chou, and metal in the months of Shen and You, each occupying their proper position, called the "Powerful Creation Pattern," which indicates great fortune. Sea water, represented by Yi Chou, is a mountain, and if further supported by water, it is auspicious. Or if it meets wall and city walls, it can also get a sword and wind, but this is the most dangerous when they clash directly. If there is already sand gold to control its toxicity, it will not cause harm. Water meeting天河 (Heavenly River) and raindrops nourish it, as well as well spring, stream, and clear water irrigation; however, if it meets the vast sea, it is too excessive, leading to poverty or early death, and only a little艮土 (Geng Soil) helps. The two types of fire, Sun and Thunder, are favorable, but they should not appear together. Furnace fire in the months of Zi and Chou is originally auspicious, but adding other fires will bring misfortune. If this wood is born in May, and the day and time contain only one fire, it is called "Pomegranate Blooming in Fire," which indicates great fortune. Three types of trees—Sangzhe, Dalin, and Yangliu—are all favorable for it. Seeing Sangzhe with Gui Chou as a mountain, seeing Dalin with Wu Chen losing its form, and seeing Yangliu with red flowers and green willows, all indicate fame and success. Seeing Songbai makes it strong, and seeing Pingdi makes it large. If there are no other elements interfering, it will have red surroundings and also indicate wealth and honor. If it has a city soil as a base and water flow as support, it will enjoy comfort and longevity.
The nature of the wood that is pungent is only Pomegranate Wood. When the energy of Shen and You settles, the things gradually mature, and the wood is located in the metal area, giving it a pungent flavor, hence it is called Pomegranate Wood. Observing that other woods die in the fifth month, while this wood flourishes, it is due to its unique nature.
Another explanation says that the wood is naturally hard, and Pomegranate Wood is full of twists and turns, meaning that things are usually completed, but it requires many detours!

Geng Shen Pomegranate Wood
Geng Shen - Self-Exhausted Wood, Metal on Wood, because Metal creates the tool, and it is afraid to see more Metal, causing damage to the tool. If it sees Jia Shen and Yi You water, it enters the pattern. The "Jixiao Baojian" states: Geng Shen is self-exhausted wood, symbolizing soul wandering and spiritual transformation. Those born on this day are usually extraordinary, with an ordinary pattern indicating a sharp personality and unbound family, and with a noble pattern, they are outstanding talents capable of achieving great achievements. Geng Shen's Divine Head Wealth is the weak soft wood. In spring, it is suitable for summer, with heavy metal and the need for fire, and heavy soil with the need for water, indicating a rare tool. It does not fear the Yang Palace, but needs officials and ghosts to be strong. Notes: Geng Shen has the sound element of wood, same as Ji Wei, the divine meeting of heaven and earth's metal. Hence, it is called the Divine Head Wealth. The wood is in the metal, the west does not produce wood, and the wood has no support, making it unable to become a useful material, with the body and destiny fighting, no use for timber. In spring, fire is the assistant, meaning the heavy metal gets fire, and the body is secure. If the soil is heavy and there is water, both the body and destiny are safe, releasing the metal's strength and generating wood, which is usable. Geng Yang receives Yang, which is Jia, having the way of transformation, needing the strong Bing and Ding to be noble. Good and Bad Nature: Pomegranate Wood likes summer fire, not suitable for autumn and winter. Good: Wealth and Horse; Bad: Eight Special, Stick Penalty, Broken Character, Hanging Needle.
