Chinese Astrology: An ancient viewpoint on temperament and personality
If you have ever eaten in a Chinese Restaurant you have probably seen the Chinese Zodiac on a placemat. But what else do you know about Chinese Astrology? The purpose of this lens is to provide a simplified introduction to Chinese Astrology for the Western Audience.
The Chinese Lunar Calendar has a sixty year cycle. According to the Chinese Horoscope, the 60-year cycle consists of two separate cycles combining with each other. The first is the cycle of ten heavenly stems referred to as the Five Elements which make up all matter (in order the elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) in their Yin and Yang forms. The second is the cycle of the twelve Chinese Zodiac animal signs or Earthly Branches.
The current cycle began in the year 1984.
Eastern Astrology Differs from Western
Eastern astrology differs from western astrology in that it's not so much a predictive science, as a practical philosophy and interpretive art. It's about the fascinating characteristics and possibilities which your birth year has bestowed upon you, to help you define your character traits and fundamental nature.
With this basic understanding of yourself and those around you, you have an excellent chance at directing and molding your own destiny & life choices.

Each animal designation has an important and needed place in the universe. As the Chinese say, "this is the animal that hides in your heart."
The Chinese year ends on the first new moon of the following year. For those of you born in January and February please take care when determining your sign.
