    Chinese Astrology Year Chart

    As a quick rule of thumb, the principles governing each element and thus the modificationsthey produce within each sign are:

    Metal - Fixity, strength of will, fluency of speech

    Water - Powers of reflection, sensitivity, persuasiveness

    Wood - Imagination, creativity, idealism, compassion

    Fire - Dynamism, passion, energy, aggression, leadership

    Earth - Stability, reliability, practicality, industry, prudence

    Chinese wisdom sees a polarity in every element, a negative and a positive side, anessentially feminine (passive, represented by -) or masculine (active, represented by +)disposition, or in Chinese terminology, Yin and Yang. Consequently, each element is

    repeated twice in succession so that it presents in the first year its Yang, or masculine

    side, and reverses the next year into its Yin polar opposite.This chart, taken from the Chinese perpetual calendar, lays out each year together with thatyear's animal sign, its element and its masculine or feminine principle.

    RAT

    Though the Western rat is reviled as little more than a bottom-dwelling disease carrier, this animalis viewed much differently in the East. The Eastern rat is revered for its quick wits and its ability toaccrue and hold on to items of value; rats are considered a symbol of good luck and wealth in bothChina and Japan. Clever and quick-witted, the Rat of the Chinese Zodiac is utterly disarming toboot. Possessed of excellent taste, this Sign flaunts its style at every turn. Its natural charm and

    sharp, funny demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone. The Rat likes to know whois on its side and will treat its most loyal friends with an extra measure of protection andgenerosity.

    Behind that sweet smile, though, Rats are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas.This Sign is motivated by its own interests, which often include money; greed can become aproblem if the Rat isn't careful to keep its priorities straight. This Sign's natural powers of charmand persuasion can definitely come in handy! Although they are often hoarders, Rats can be verygenerous to those in their pack, namely friends and family members who have proven their loyalty.Others might perceive them as quick-tempered and sharp-tongued, but never boorish. Verbaljousting is a great pleasure for the Rat, a Sign that everyone around will quickly learn either to love

    or to hate.

    Rats enjoy being on the outside looking in, as the outside affords a view into the inner workings ofa system or situation. The Rat's keen mind always seeks out new knowledge, to be stored awayfor future use. This ever-curious Sign also welcomes challenges as a way to stay sharp. Ifboredom sets in the Rat is no fun at all, but that isn't likely; this Sign knows how to keep itselfentertained.

    A valuable lesson for Rats is to learn to consider others above themselves, at least sometimes. Ifthey can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well, Ratscould find true happiness.

    TIGER

    Tigers may not be the king of the jungle, but these striped cats are no softies! Magnetic and self-possessed, Tigers are born leaders. They have an air of authority that prompts others to fall inline, which is exactly how they like it. Although they are magnetically charming and fun to be

  • 7/29/2019 Horoscope - Chinese Astrology

    2/17

    around, Tigers like to go it alone sometimes too. A Tiger's main interest is in following its ambitions-- and maintaining control.

    Tigers are courageous beyond compare and generally come out ahead in battle, be it in theboardroom or the bedroom. Seduction is one area where the Tiger is definitely king! Noble andwarm-hearted, Tigers have a natural, raw appeal that's extremely attractive to other Signs. They'renot just about attraction, though; ever on the side of right, Tigers will fight the good fight to thebitter end if the cause is worthy. Opponents are wise to fear this feline.

    A bit of caution is a good thing around Tigers, since they can pounce without warning. Theyexperience mood swings and often feel things more intensely than others, the latter quality beingboth good and bad. They can react poorly under stress and are prone to emotional outbursts. ThisSign's bristling sensitivity can send friend and foe running for cover.

    A lesson that Tigers would be well-served to learn is moderation in all things. Once these cats canfind their center and direct their considerable energies toward worthwhile endeavors (as opposedto racing through life), they will accomplish much.

    DRAGON

    The Dragon is one of the most powerful and lucky Signs of the Chinese Zodiac. Its warm heartmakes the Dragon's brash, fiery energy far more palatable. This is a giving, intelligent andtenacious Sign that knows exactly what it wants and is determined to get it. Dragons possess acertain natural, charming charisma that ensures they can always influence their peers and oftenfind themselves the center of attention in social situations. This Sign is truly blessed, too; Dragonsare considered to be very lucky in love! The Dragon's friends are always keen to hear what thisfirebrand has to say and when it comes to dispensing advice, the Dragon has the floor.

    Its ego can get in the Dragon's way, but even so, this larger-than-life creature has a knack forinitiating projects and keeping the troops motivated. According to Dragons, it's their natural bornright to lead the way -- because who else could do it so surely and so well? As lucky as they are,

    Dragons have a good chance of achieving considerable material wealth during their lifetimes,although it isn't mere money that's this Sign's main motivation. Power is what the Dragon wantsand truly believes it deserves. Dragons are quite the opportunists, forever searching for ways inwhich to consolidate their considerable power. Contrary to all this strength and fire, a weakenedDragon is a sad sack, a creature that refuses to take defeat with even a modicum of grace.

    The role of leader is the only one the Dragon wants, the better from which to give orders and beking of the hill. They make solid leaders, too, knowing instinctively what needs to be done to stayon top. Crossing the Dragon is never a good idea -- this beast can singe! A valuable life lesson forthis clever creature would be to absorb the principles of flexibility, compassion and tolerance.Being high and mighty can serve to inspire

    HORSE

    Thank goodness for open spaces, because the Horse needs plenty of room to roam! Energetic,good with money and very fond of travel, Horses are the nomads of the Chinese Zodiac, roamingfrom one place or project to the next. All of this Sign's incessant activity and searching may be tosatisfy a deep-rooted desire to fit in. Paradoxically, Horses feel a simultaneous yearning forindependence and freedom.

    Horses crave love and intimacy, which is a double-edged sword since it often leads them to feeltrapped. Love connections tend to come easily to Horses, since they exude the kind of raw sex

    appeal that is a magnet to others. This Sign tends to come on very strong in the beginning of therelationship, having an almost innate sense of romance and seduction. Horses are seducers ingeneral; check out any A-list party and you're bound to find the Horse in attendance. This Signpossesses a sharp wit and a scintillating presence; it really knows how to work a crowd.

    3/17

    Surprisingly, Horses tend to feel a bit inferior to their peers, a misconception that causes them todrift from group to group out of an irrational fear of being exposed as a fraud.

    An impatient streak can lead Horses to be less than sensitive to others' needs. These colts wouldrather take a situation firmly in hand as opposed to waiting for others to weigh in or come to termswith it. The lone wolf inside the Horse can at times push others away, but this also makes this Signstronger and is a key to its success. Horses are self-reliant and, though they might lose interestfast in a tedious, nine-to-five day job, are willing to do the work necessary to get ahead.

    Horses tend not to look much at the big picture; instead they just follow their whims, which canresult in a trail of prematurely ended relationships, jobs, projects and so on. This Sign really knowshow to motivate others, though, and get a lot accomplished. Once they find some peace withinthemselves, they can curb their wandering tendencies and learn to appreciate what's in their ownbackyard.

    MONKEY

    The spunky Monkey is the original party animal! Charming and energetic, Monkeys crave fun,activity and stimulation. They truly know how to have a good time and can often be seen swingingfrom one group of friends to another, attracting a motley crew in the process. Always upbeat, theyare considered minor celebrities in their circle thanks to their sparkling wit and that rapier-sharp

    mind. Perhaps surprisingly, Monkeys are also good listeners and tackle complicated situationswith ease. This Sign's natural curiosity lends it the desire to become knowledgeable on a broadrange of topics. Monkeys have a show-off side that loves nothing more than to dazzle their palswith all they know.

    The Monkey tends to be rather accident-prone due to a certain lack of very high morals. ThisSign's first interest is pursuing its own pleasure; this is not a malicious interest, it's just the way theMonkey is. However, this kind of carefree self-involvement can lead to all kinds of scrapes. In love,the Monkey makes a fun, exciting lover -- but one that may have the potential to stray romantically.The good news is, the Monkeys glib manner and witty repartee can often get this Sign out of ascrape. Perhaps not everyone will be won over by the Monkey -- but do you think the Monkey

    really cares? The Monkey's world, full of devil-may-care energy and revelry, isn't for everyone.Remember, though, it's not that this Sign is mean; it might just be a bit too curious for its owngood. Monkeys often feel the need to try everything at least once, which can make for a merry-go-round of relationships.

    The Monkey's love of self-indulgence can also lead to other types of trouble. This Sign may havelimited self-control concerning food, alcohol and other pleasurable activities. It's party time all thetime for the Monkey, yet when it leads to a monster hangover or a shattered heart (generallysomeone else's, not theirs), this Sign might actually show a touch of remorse. They won't flat-outadmit the error of their ways, but at least they'll pull back and try to tone things down -- for a while.

    Monkeys must try to learn to think of others ahead of themselves, at least some of the time. ThisSign's world will be more complete once it realizes the world doesn't revolve around it.

    DOG

    In the West, the Dog is man's best friend, but in Chinese Astrology this Sign is a little moreunpredictable than that. Dogs are loyal, faithful and honest and always stick to their firm codes ofethics. However, this Sign has trouble trusting others. It's generally quite trustworthy itself -- exceptfor the occasional little white lies the Dog tells in order to make things go more smoothly. The Dogmakes a wonderful, discreet and loyal friend (despite any white lies) and is an excellent listener.This Sign tends to root for the underdog and its keen sense of right and wrong makes it duty-bound to the core. The Dog's mantra seems to be, Live right, look out for the little people and fight

    injustice whenever possible.

    Dogs can also be rather dogmatic, too. They don't go in for light social banter; instead, they gostraight for home, expostulating on the topics that are most important to them. At these times theDog's narrow-minded or stubborn side can become apparent; this Sign has trouble staying lightand calm when an important issue is at stake. This Sign can also be very temperamental; moodswings characterize its emotional life and often the Dog needs to run off to be alone in order torecuperate. Part of the problem is the result of this Sign's load of irrational fears that turn intoniggling anxieties that turn into hurt feelings and occasional grouchiness. This sensitive Signneeds to warm up to others over time and gradually learn to trust them. Without that trust as afoundation, Dogs can be judgmental and coarse.

    The Dog's discerning nature does make it an excellent business person, one who can turn thatpicky, guarded nature into a keen sense of the truth of another's motives. Where love isconcerned, Dogs often have a tough time finding the right match. They can be so anxious andoverwrought in the romance dance that they'll stress their partner to the max! In any forum, this

  • 7/29/2019 Horoscope - Chinese Astrology

    5/17

    Sign is happiest when able to be quite physically active; at home or at work, the Dog will alwaysbe constructing something new or cleaning something up in order to make things better. Dogsneed to work on controlling their irrational worries and would also be well-served to relax theirmile-high standards, which can sometimes wind up alienating the ones they love.

    OX

    The Ox of Chinese Astrology is no bull in a china shop. Steadfast and solid, this powerful Sign is a

    born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things.Oxen tend to be plodding and methodical; they approach projects in the step-by-step manner thatserves them best, and they never lose sight of their goal. They are tireless workers who are detail-oriented and believe in doing things right the first time.

    The world may perceive Oxen as being far too serious or incapable of loosening up. This sturdysort is less than social by nature and tends to become introverted in a crowd. To make thingsworse, they can't be bothered with what other people think and prefer to do what makes them feelbest. Behind that calm facade, though, lives an Ox who can feel hurt, lonely and unable to connectwith others. Friends and family are a great source of comfort to this beast, even if they don'talways understand what makes the Ox tick. As a lover, friend, family member or housemate, the

    Ox makes a wonderfully strong, tender and affectionate companion who is protective and alwaysreliable.

    Out in the world, though, Oxen tend to be stubborn, dogmatic, my-way-or-the-highway kind ofpeople who have no concept of when to back down. Oxen don't care to be pushed, especiallysince they think they're the good guys of the Chinese Zodiac. There is some truth to that theory,since the Ox is smart, trustworthy, caring and honorable. If you need honest, steady and unbiasedadvice, call on the Ox.

    A good lesson for mighty Oxen is to strive to overcome a judgmental nature that keeps them fromgetting close to others. If they can learn to value their own good qualities, they'll have more roomin their hearts to invite others in.

    RABIT

    Timid and attractive, the Rabbits of the Chinese Zodiac tend to act more like bunnies, whetherthey like it or not! This Sign is extremely popular and has a wide circle of family and friends. Itscompassionate nature leads it to be very protective of those it holds dear, but where romance isconcerned, the Rabbit's sentimentality can lead it to idealize relationships. The sweet, sensitiveRabbit often ends up giving more of itself to a partner than is realistic or healthy. The good newsis, when this Sign goes off-balance, the Rabbit's core group of friends and its stable home life helpbring it back to center.

    The Rabbit is a rather delicate Sign that needs a solid base in order to thrive. Lacking close,supportive friends and family, the Rabbit might just break down in tears at the first sign of conflict.Emotional upsets in this Sign's life can even lead to physical illnesses. Rabbits dislike argumentsand other conflict and will try anything to avoid a fight; this results in something of a pushovernature. Rabbits can also lapse into pessimism and may seem stuck in life -- often to mask theirinsecure natures. Rabbits tend to move through life's lessons at their own, rather contemplativepace; it's a waste of time to become exasperated with this Sign's seeming disinterest in facing itsproblems and conquering them.

    With the right partner -- meaning someone whose high principles won't allow it to take advantageof this sensitive, giving Sign -- the Rabbit can make an incredibly loving and protective partner or

    family member. Rabbits love to entertain at home and always make sure their house iscomfortable and tastefully-furnished. What Rabbits need most is a stronger sense of self-worthand the security that comes with it. Their discerning natures, coupled with some hard-wonassertiveness, will help these happy creatures go far.

    SNAKE

    Diplomatic and popular, the Snake has the sensual art of seduction down. This Sign is aninteresting mix of gregariousness paired with introversion, intuitive reasoning paired with savvybusiness skills. Snakes are considered to be lucky with money and will generally have more thanenough to live life to the fullest, regardless of how important it considers money to be; this may bedue to the fact that Snakes tend to be rather tight with cash. They're not stingy, they're simplymore mentally than physically active. Snakes tend to hang back a bit in order to analyze a

    situation before jumping into it. Their charming, seductive quality actually belies a rather retiringnature; this Sign is perfectly happy to spend the whole day curled up with a good book and, thus,can be mislabeled as being lazy.

    The Snake is somewhat insecure deep down and tend to be a rather jealous, possessive lover,behavior that can end up alienating loved ones. Despite these less-than-stellar tendencies,however, the Snake often proves irresistible and is a generous, loving partner. Slightly dangerousand disarmingly smart, the Snake's philosophical and intuitive mind generally supersedes logic infavor of feelings and instinct. Snakes will rely on their own gut reactions and intuitions beforeturning to others for suggestions. This makes this Sign a great hand in any business venture,possessing the caution and smarts needed to get ahead.

    Snakes are hard workers (when they see good reason to be!) and are possessed of a keenintelligence. Snakes have incredible follow-through, once they get going, and they expect thesame from others. Thus, their coworkers and employees had best stay on their toes, lest theyanger the Snake and suffer its poisonous bite!

    In general, of course, Snakes are generous and genteel, charming and appealing. Snakes musttry to learn humility and to develop a stronger sense of self. Once Snakes realize that confidencecomes from within, they will finally be comfortable in their own skin.

    SHIP

    Daydreaming all afternoon sounds heavenly to the Sheep. This creative, esoteric Sign needsplenty of time alone in which to feed its Muse. Sheep are generally most comfortable in their ownminds (which other, more linear-thinking Signs may have trouble deciphering). This Sign makes agreat craftsperson or artisan, or perhaps a teacher of New Age studies -- any occupation thatallows its mind the full range of freedom. Sheep tend not to be very well-organized, precludingmany more dry business endeavors. In fact, Sheep tend not to be very materialistic in general,finding plenty of riches in their own imagination. However, especially when in love, the Sheep canbe quite a lavish gift-giver.

    Perhaps it's that artistic temperament that so often causes Sheep to feel insecure, but the result isthat these high-strung creatures need to feel loved and admired lest they start worrying

    incessantly. For this reason, Sheep tend to have a hard time with romance; anyone who couplesup with a Sheep must know, this Sign has a sensitive streak a mile wide and can be subject tobouts of anxiety over seemingly inconsequential things. Sheep need plenty of love, support andopen reassurance from their lovers. If a relationship is marked by conflict, the Sheep will often pullaway -- either physically or simply by retreating into the safe haven of its imagination.

    If the romance is going well, however, Sheep won't hesitate to tell their partner what they need --and they can be quite insistent about it! This Sign will definitely return the favor, however; theSheep has a luxurious side that delights in indulging a lover's every wish. Appearances are alsoimportant to the Sheep, which may explain why these folks can spend hours primping and posing.

    Sheep would be well-served by learning to relax and let others run the show from time to time.Once they can be certain that their friends and lovers won't be gone when the Sheep returns fromits daydreams, life will be a field of daisies.

    ROOSTER

    The Rooster is the strutting peacock of the Chinese Zodiac! These quick thinkers are practical andresourceful, preferring to stick to what is tried and true rather than taking messy, unnecessaryrisks. Roosters are keenly observant. It's hard to slip anything past a Rooster, since they seem tohave eyes in the backs of their heads! This quality can lead others to think the Rooster is psychic,but that's not generally the case; instead, this Sign enjoys a keen attention to detail that makes it awhiz at anything requiring close analysis. Roosters make great lawyers, brain surgeons and

    accountants, to name a few of this Sign's possible occupations. Above all else, the Rooster is verystraightforward and rewards others' honesty in kind.

    Roosters aren't shifty or cagey and have no interest in hiding behind a facade. They are theproverbial open book, telling the truth and keeping their word. If you show your hand, the Roosterwill respect you for it. This kind of trusting behavior can tempt tricksters to pull a fast one on theRooster, but that would be a bad move! Remember, this Sign doesn't indulge in flights of fancyand keeps those eyes wide open at all times.

    Roosters tend to be perfectionists and expect to be in control, especially over their appearance.Primping and posing for the Rooster can go on forever! Being noticed and admired is an

    aphrodisiac for Roosters, and they can go a long time on a few kind words. Roosters also adorebeing out on the town, especially if they're in the company of adoring friends. The Rooster will alsobe the best-dressed one of the bunch -- style counts with this Sign, regardless of the cost.

    Roosters also expect to be in control of their surroundings, including whoever happens to be inthose surroundings. Roosters keep an impeccably neat house and expect their lovers,housemates and family members to maintain the same high standards of dress and conduct asthey do. This can cause problems with other, more relaxed types who just want to be accepted asis. The Rooster needs the right partner, one who understands this Sign's basically conservativenature. With the right person, the Rooster can be the most loyal, trusting and supportive matearound, one who bends over backward to please its loved ones. Some Signs may just end up

    feeling hen-pecked, however.

    Roosters need to learn to value their heart and soul as much as their good looks. Their excellentpeople skills and sharp minds are qualities that others will appreciate as much as a pretty face.This Sign would also do well to learn to adopt the philosophy of live and let live; perhaps an appealto the Rooster's logic -- that it's inefficient to waste time nagging others -- will help this Sign learnto let others be whomever and however they are.

    PIG

    Contrary to its rather negative reputation in the West, the Pig of Chinese Astrology may be themost generous and honorable Sign of the Zodiac. Pigs are nice to a fault and possess impeccable

    manners and taste. They have so much of the perfectionist in them that others may be inclined toperceive them as snobs, but this is a misconception. Pigs are simply possessed of a trulyluxurious nature, one that delights in finery and riches (in surroundings, food, lovemaking andotherwise). This Sign believes in the best qualities of mankind and certainly doesn't consider itselfto be superior. Pigs also care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keepeveryone in their life happy. Helping others is a true pleasure for the Pig, who feels best wheneveryone else is smiling.

    A Pig with no one around to appreciate its giving nature is a sad sight. Pigs are so magnanimousthey can appear almost saintly; this can lead some less-than-well-intentioned souls to stomp allover this Sign, and the bad news is, the Pig will take the blows! Pigs make great companions in

    part because of their refusal to see the more negative or base qualities in a partner, but that rose-colored view can lead to this Sign's allowing itself to be taken advantage of. Contrary to theirseemingly benign dispositions, however, Pigs can be quite venomous in response to beingcrossed by a lover, friend or business partner.

  • 7/29/2019 Horoscope - Chinese Astrology

    8/17

    Pigs are highly intelligent creatures, forever studying, playing and probing in their quest for greaterknowledge. They can be misinterpreted as being lazy, however, due to their love of reveling in thegood stuff; this Sign could happily spend hours on end making love, napping, taking a long bubblebath or dallying over an incredible spread of rich foods. Pigs tend to make wonderful life partnersdue to their hearts of gold and their love of family. Even so, Pigs can be rather exclusive, choosingto spend time with those who will appreciate them most and ignore the rest of the populace. Pigswould do well to realize that there's more to life than being needed. When they open up their worldto a diverse group of people, they will truly bloom.

    ELEMENTS

    WOOD

    Like the rings of a tree circle out and expand through the years, so too do those born under theChinese Astrology Element of Wood. You Wood personalities seek chances for growth and forrenewal in all you do, 'branching out' (excuse the pun!) whenever possible.

You understand theinherent value of what you and those around you possess, and your confidence allows you to actupon your beliefs. While your strength forms the backbone of any social group or partnership

    you're a part of, you could have a tendency to be a bit too systematic in your thinking, andsometimes your passivity allows others to overwhelm and inhibit you. Don't let yourself be lost in avast forest, an anonymous tree among millions of others. Make your mark on the world -- you'reespecially adept at business ventures.

Led by logic rather thanemotion, you seek to plan your life as far out in advance as possible, to expect the unexpectedand control your destiny down to the last detail. Your disciplined reserve -- which can come acrossas true grace if you work it right -- garners you respect and admiration. You're so bound by logic

    and dependent upon controlling your situation that you have a fear of the unknown. Consequently,you question your instincts, distrusting even your most cherished dreams and seeing your whimsas frivolous distractions. Don't be a stick in the mud, Earth Signs; share your wisdom and yourpeace of mind with a needy world.

    Others look up to you in awe of your commanding, confident presence. While you Metalindividuals are strong and virtuous, you can be a bit set in your ways. No arm-wrestling with themetallic ones, either; they might break that appendage in two! You can be a stern taskmasters aswell, demanding the most from yourself and those you love.

    also make you sometimes too passive, too willing to be what someone wants you to be. You tendto take the shape of whatever container you're poured into.Rather than letting others dam up yourenergies, let yourself flow freely!
