All the animals were told that one of the 12 signs would be awarded a place in the celestial progression based on the order in which they arrived

Use of Astrology in Choosing Marriage Partners in Viet Nam
According to astrological beliefs in Viet Nam, the five major planets with a significant influence on human lives and the items that represent them on Earth are: Venus, metal; Jupiter, wood; Mars, fire; Mercury, water; and Saturn, soil Each of these elements can build up or destroy one another according to this theory That is to say: Fire helps soil but destroys metal while soil helps metal Wood destroys soil while water helps wood Water destroys fire while metal helps water Metal destroys wood while wood helps fire
Since individuals at birth come under the influence of at least one of the above planets, it is imperative to make sure that two which oppose each other are not united A man born under Venus marrying a girl of Mars would find arguments, unhappiness, etc., whereas the same man marrying a girl under Mercury’s influence would be happy Similarly, if the man is of fire influence and the wife of water, countless arguments, poverty and perhaps divorce is their predetermined fate; but if man is under influence of fire and the girl of wood, they will have many children and prosperity
However, astrology is only one of the three major factors which must be thought in considering marriage Strange to the western culture, the thought of romance is not a major factor, if considered at all
1 What are the five major planets with a significant influence on human lives?
_ What is the theory of interaction between the basic elements?
