Math is not my strong suit. Yes, I can divide by 12, but then throw in the 5 elements and other stuff out of Chinese astrology and my head gets muddled because I start trying to put associations where there should be calculations. It's also a 60 year cycle--not 12, if you're being technical.
I need the years from about 42 BCE to 200 CE in Chinese astrology, or at least an anchor to work off of in that time period. I can't find a Chinese Astrology calculator that goes back that far.
For example Year X was definitely a Wood Pig.
I also need the exact transition dates in the lunar speak of the Chinese Calendar (Finding this on the internet in English is a pain in the butt and none of my English books on the subject cover it well). Non-Gregorian, please. Going for Historical accuracy here... and Monk Gregory didn't exist for at least another 1200+ years.
42 CE and 199 CE are of particular interest to me... because then I can calculate the character's ages and astrologies which should add some depth to the book as they discuss them. (I hope)
Thanks!
