What is Chinese Astrology?

Chinese Astrology is an ancient system of divination rooted in Chinese philosophy, cosmology, and lunar cycles. It is based on a 12-year zodiac cycle, where each year is represented by an animal sign and influenced by one of the Five Elements. Unlike Western astrology which relies on the position of planets, Chinese astrology emphasizes the year and element of birth to determine personality traits and destiny.

The 12 Chinese Zodiac Animal Signs

Each year in the Chinese zodiac is associated with one of the following animal signs:

• 🐀 Rat
• 🐂 Ox
• 🐅 Tiger
• 🐇 Rabbit
• 🐉 Dragon
• 🐍 Snake
• 🐎 Horse
• 🐐 Goat
• 🐒 Monkey
• 🐓 Rooster
• 🐕 Dog
• 🐖 Pig

Each animal symbolizes unique traits. For example, Dragons are ambitious and confident, while Rabbits are gentle and kind-hearted.

The Five Elements

In addition to the animal sign, each year is governed by one of the Five Elements:

• Wood – Growth, creativity, expansion
• Fire – Passion, energy, leadership
• Earth – Stability, practicality, nourishment
• Metal – Discipline, structure, strength
• Water – Intuition, adaptability, wisdom

Each combination of animal and element occurs once every 60 years, forming a unique astrological identity.

Chinese Lunar Calendar

The Chinese Zodiac is based on the lunar calendar. The Chinese New Year typically falls between late January and mid-February, so individuals born in those months should verify their correct zodiac sign by checking the lunar calendar of their birth year.

Compatibility in Chinese Astrology

Chinese Astrology also focuses on compatibility between signs for marriage, friendship, and business. For example, Rats and Dragons are highly compatible, while Tigers and Monkeys may face challenges.
