Eight Zodiac Guardians – Acalanatha

Estimated Reading Time: 4 mins

In ancient Chinese astrology, the influence of celestial bodies like Jupiter has long been recognised. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, completes its orbit around the Sun every 12 years, corresponding to the twelve zodiac signs. The Rooster, aligned with the 10th Earthly Branch, represents one such sign, offering those born in its years a unique connection to celestial forces.

Conjunction of Planets Jupiter and Saturn

Within ancient Chinese astrology, Saturn, the second-largest celestial body within the solar system, upheld a significant position in astrological customs. Ancient astrologers paid close attention to the alignment of Jupiter and Saturn, which occurs every 20 years and marks the beginning of a new cycle. These cycles are reflected in Feng Shui periods, where each period is governed by a distinctive Trigram and Element, influencing the social and economic patterns of the time.

The current cycle, known as Period 9, spans from 4 February 2024 to 3 February 2044 and is characterised by the Fire element and the Li Trigram. The dynamic essence of Fire is anticipated to advancements in technology, culture, and prosperity during this 20-year period.

The Bagua and the Twelve Zodiacs

The Bagua consists of eight unique trigrams, each formed by three vertically stacked lines called Yao (爻). Ancient astrologers, particularly King Wen of Zhou, developed the Later Heaven Bagua to define the elements linked with each direction, season, and zodiac sign.

The Bagua represents fundamental energies that shape the world, with each trigram embodying unique attributes. The Dui Trigram (兑卦), symbolising joy and communication, is directly associated with the Rooster through the Chinese character 酉 (Yǒu). The character 酉, pictographically resembling a half-filled wine vessel, conveys notions of refinement and transformation—qualities that resonate with the Rooster’s natural ability to navigate and thrive in changing environments.

This connection to 酉 and the Dui Trigram grants Rooster-born individuals the foresight, resilience, and strategic acumen necessary to turn challenges into opportunities.

Acalanatha — The Zodiac Guardian

Acalanatha (不动明王), revered as the “immovable king of wisdom,” has long been a prominent figure in Buddhist culture, with his presence seen in artworks across China, Nepal, Tibet, and Japan. He is the head of the Five Wisdom Kings, tasked with defeating obstacles and guiding his devotees toward clarity, wealth, and spiritual power.

Design and Symbolism

For those born in the year of the Rooster (1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029), Acalanatha serves as a powerful zodiac guardian. His name, 不动明王, signifies steadfast wisdom and strength, qualities that enable him to protect and guide Rooster-born individuals. Depicted surrounded by heavenly flames, Acalanatha embodies the ability to transform adversity into success, igniting breakthroughs in business, personal development, and health.

Rooster-born individuals, known for their sharp wit and determination, benefit from Acalanatha’s blessings, helping them navigate life’s complexities with wisdom, clarity, and the unwavering support of benefactors.

The Sword of Wisdom

The Sword of Wisdom that Acalanatha wields is a symbol of clarity, foresight, and intellect. This sacred weapon cuts through greed, anger, and ignorance, equipping its bearer with the strategic insight needed to achieve success. Whether in business or personal pursuits, this sword represents the intellectual sharpness required to overcome obstacles and create meaningful progress.

Bodhi Infinite Wealth Rope

Held in Acalanatha’s left hand, the Bodhi Infinite Wealth Rope is a potent emblem of prosperity. It clears financial hindrances, allowing wealth to flow and empowering the wearer to attract lucrative opportunities. The Rooster, with its innate resourcefulness and charm, is uniquely suited to benefit from this divine tool, aligning itself with the forces of success and abundance.

Imperial Dragon

The Imperial Dragon, positioned behind Acalanatha, is a revered symbol of power, prosperity, and leadership. Dragons have long been synonymous with imperial authority and success, guiding individuals to achieve unparalleled heights in their careers and personal lives. For Rooster-born individuals, the dragon reinforces their natural leadership abilities, helping them unlock their full potential.
