Seventh Cycle
In Western culture, notable anniversaries are measured in decades. In Thailand, the full twelve-year cycles of the Chinese Zodiac mark especially auspicious birthdays. Not long ago, the kingdom celebrated the fifth cycle (60th birthday) of Her Royal Highness the Princess. And now, this year marks the seventh cycle (84th birthday) of Her Majesty the Queen.
To show respect to Her Majesty, one can wear blue, her "color of the day". Her actual birthday is August 12, Mother's Day in Thailand, and a national holiday.
