Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Chinese zodiac work?
The Chinese zodiac follows a 12-year cycle, each year represented by an animal sign: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each sign carries distinct personality traits and is further influenced by one of the five elements.
How is it different from Western astrology?
Western astrology is based on monthly constellations. The Chinese zodiac is based on a 12-year cycle of animal signs combined with the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). Your sign is determined by birth year, not birth month.
Which signs are compatible?
Compatibility follows four triads: Rat-Dragon-Monkey, Ox-Snake-Rooster, Tiger-Horse-Dog, Rabbit-Goat-Pig. Signs in the same triad share values and communication styles.
