The Chinese Zodiac (Shengxiao) is based on a 12-year cycle, with each year associated with an animal sign. Unlike Western astrology which is based on months, your sign is determined by your birth year. The order is: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat (Sheep), Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.

The Five Elements

In Chinese Five Elements Theory (Wu Xing), each zodiac sign is also associated with one of the five elements: Wood (Tiger, Rabbit), Fire (Snake, Horse), Earth (Ox, Dragon, Goat, Dog), Metal (Monkey, Rooster), and Water (Rat, Pig). This adds layers of nuance to your personality.

Lucky Directions
