The inner animals and the secret animals are associated with a person's birth month ( there are 12) and a person's hour of birth ( there are also 12 and they are calculated as 2-hour increments).

The animal representing your birth year determines the "outer" you. The animal representing your birth month determines your "inner" you; the person you wish you could be. And the animal representing your time of birth determines your "secret" you; the person you are but that you prevent the rest of the world from knowing about. So there are three aspects to your animal chart, the year you were born, the month you were born and the hour you were born.
