Discover the secrets of your Chinese Astrology Sign! To find out which of the twelve Animals of the Chinese Zodiac signs represents you, you just need to enter your birth date.  Chinese astrology is the divination of the future from the Chinese calendar, particularly its -year cycle of animals, referred to as the Chinese Zodiac.  Chinese Astrology is concerned with nature and its traits, the signs progress year by year whereas Western Astrology cycles monthly.  While Western Astrology is based upon the months of the year, Chinese Astrology is based upon a twelve year lunar cycle.

Chinese Astrology and Feng Shui are ancient wisdom handed down by our ancestors and have been in use throughout the Orient for many years.  In Chinese astrology the animal signs assigned by year represent what others perceive you as being or how you present yourself.  There is a lot more to Chinese Astrology than just the Zodiac Animals, but this article is a good beginning to the study.  The foundation of Chinese Astrology is Yin/Yang, the  animals and the  elements.  During the last three years we have created over a dozen, automated Chinese Astrology products.  Capricorn correlates to the Chinese astrology sign Ox, who is hardworking, dependable, and ethical.  Chinese Astrology is said by some scholars to be the oldest horoscope system in the world.

Chinese  Astrology is based on the Chinese  calendar year of your birth or the year of an event.  After those traits Chinese  Astrology is rather different having its roots in classical Chinese  philosophy and legend.  Unlike Western Astrology, Chinese  Astrology has nothing to do with Planets and their actions.  The Chinese Zodiac is based on the Lunar Year, while Western Astrology is based on the Solar Year, so the two do not exactly coincide.

Most historians agree that Cat is not in the list since the  animals of the Chinese Zodiac were formed before Cats were introduced to China from India with Buddhism.  The Chinese zodiac is also used in some other Asian countries that have been under the cultural influence of China.

Chinese zodiac system is much different from the solar-based western zodiac system we are all so familiar with. However, many a time the traits you are supposed to have under western system are much the same as those under the Chinese system. That’s quite amazing. This, however, may not happen in all cases.There are specific characteristics associated with every chinese zodiac signs and zodiac animal in the Chinese system. The animals are ox, rabbit, tiger, rat, snake, sheep, horse, monkey, rooster, boar, dog and dragon.

In addition, it is said that two zodiac signs may mutually restrain each other. For example, "a rooster and monkey can not be together for a long time", means that the marriage between a person born in a year of rooster and another born in a monkey year is not a good match and can not last forever. Although the majority of Chinese people know that this is just a superstition, they choose to believe that there is a small amount of truth to it and try to avoid such kinds of combinations when getting married or giving birth to a baby.

Here are legend of chinese zodiacs:
A long, long time ago the Jade Emperor wanted to find a means of measuring time, and so he organised a race, and invited all the animals to take part. When they had all lined up on the bank of the river the Emperor explained that to win the big prize - a permanent place in the Zodiac – they would have to be one of the first twelve to cross the swiftly flowing river and reach a designated spot on the opposite shore. Their order in the cycle would be decided by the order in which they finished the race. And so the race began. The cat wondered how she would get across if she was afraid of water. At the same time, the ox wondered how he would cross with his poor eyesight. The rat suggested that he and the cat jump onto the ox’s back and guide him across. But as they were crossing the river, the rat snuck up behind the unsuspecting cat and pushed her into the water. Just as the ox came lumbering ashore, the rat jumped off and raced over the line first, closely followed by the ox. By the time the cat had managed to save herself from drowning and reached the finishing line it was too late for her to win any place in the calendar, and so she vowed to be the enemy of the rat forever after. After the ox came the tiger, out of breath as she explained to the emperor how difficult it had been to cross the river with the strong currents dragging her downstream all the time. But because she was so strong she had eventually made it to shore and so was named the third animal in the cycle. Just then there was a flash of fur and whiskers, and out of nowhere appeared the rabbit. He explained that he had crossed the river by jumping onto a floating log that had at first moved rapidly downstream, but had then suddenly been washed to shore. Thus he became the fourth animal in the zodiac cycle. Coming in fifth place was the dragon, flapping his great wings and breathing fire into the air. The Emperor was very interested to know why such a great creature like the dragon, who could fly, hadn’t managed to arrive first. The dragon explained that he had been close to finishing when he saw a poor helpless rabbit clinging to a log that was being washed downstream. He therefore stopped and gave a mighty puff of breath to blow the log to the shore. By the time this good deed had been done, four of the other animals had already arrived. No sooner had the dragon reached the finish line than the sound of galloping hooves was heard and the horse appeared. Hidden in the horse’s mane was the snake, who hissed and moved just before the horse crossed the line. The horse got such a shock that she reared up and before she could recover the snake had slithered off her back and crossed the line in sixth place, beating the horse into seventh. Not long after that, the sheep, monkey and rooster reached the bank of the river together. These three animals had helped each other all through the race. The rooster had found some logs tied together, and invited the other two creatures to go with it. The sheep and the monkey had worked together to clear the weeds, pulled and pushed and eventually managed to get to the other side. This cooperation greatly pleased the Emperor and he promptly declared that the sheep was eighth, the monkey ninth, and the rooster tenth. Some time later the dog arrived in eleventh place. The Emperor expressed surprise that it had taken her so long despite the fact she was a better swimmer than most of the other animals. The dog explained that it was precisely her love of the water that had delayed her – it had been so refreshing that she simply couldn’t resist playing around for a while. Just as the emperor was wondering if no other animal would reach the finish, an oink, oink, oink was heard and of the pig came waddling into view. To nobody’s surprise he related how he hadn’t been able to resist the temptation of stopping and filling his belly with acorns. After that he had felt the need for a nap, and had only woken up a short time before. And so the pig became the twelfth and last animal of the zodiac cycle.
