About Chinese Zodiac
The 12-Year Cycle
The Chinese zodiac is based on a 12-year cycle, with each year represented by a specific animal and its associated characteristics. Unlike Western astrology, which is based on months, the Chinese zodiac is determined by the year you were born.
Each animal sign is also associated with one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), creating a 60-year cycle that combines the 12 animals with the 5 elements.
Cultural Significance
The Chinese zodiac has been used for over 2,000 years to determine personality traits, compatibility in relationships, career choices, and even the best times for important life decisions like marriage or starting a business.
In Chinese culture, your zodiac year (when your animal comes around again) is considered both lucky and challenging, known as "Ben Ming Nian" (ๆฌๅฝๅนด).
