Khmer Calendar 1987 !!exclusive!!

For Cambodians looking back at 1987, the Rabbit symbolized a quiet hope. After the fall of the Khmer Rouge (1979) and through the 1980s, the country under the People's Republic of Kampuchea was slowly re-establishing Buddhism. The calm nature of the Rabbit was a welcome spirit.

In Khmer astrology (Hora), 1987 is dominated by the Rabbit (or Cat, depending on the region). The "Fire" element signifies energy, passion, and action. For Cambodians, the Rabbit year is considered gentle but cunning. In 1987, monks would have chanted specific Sautr to ward off the volatility of the Fire element, hoping for a harvest that was abundant but not destructive. khmer calendar 1987
