Chinese Zodiac - Traditional Chinese Astrology

Start by finding your Chinese Zodiac Animal .

Chinese Zodiac, known in China as the Shēngxiào ,is a scheme that relates each year to an animal and its reputed attributes, according to a 12-year cycle.

The twelve years of the Chinese zodiac cycle are each named after a different animal.2012 is the Year of the Dragon, according to the numbering of the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. The Year of the Dragon ends on February 09, 2013, the last day of the dragon year. The following day marks the beginning of the year of the Snake. The year of a person's birth corresponds to one of the twelve Animals Years of the Chinese zodiac. When Chinese people talk about birthdays, they generally ask each other what their Animal Year is, rather than when they were born.

In Chinese astrology the animal signs assigned by year represent what others perceive you as being or how you present yourself.

This year (Jan 23, 2012 – Feb 09, 2013) is Year of Dragon.
