Chinese astrology

Chinese astrology is a way of understanding people's personalities and predicting their future based on the year they were born. It's called Chinese astrology because it's a system that originated in China and is based on the lunar calendar.

Imagine a big circle, like a big pizza, and divide it into twelve slices. Each slice represents a different year in the 12-year cycle of the lunar calendar. And each slice has a different animal on it, like a rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, or pig.

So, depending on the year you were born, you have a specific animal sign that represents your personality and characteristics. For example, if you were born in 1988, you would be a dragon. Dragons are believed to be strong, confident, and ambitious.

But it's not just about your animal sign. Chinese astrology also considers the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each element has its own characteristics and interacts with the animals in different ways.

So, if you were born in 1988, you would be a dragon with a water element. Water symbolizes emotion and intuition, so you might have a very emotional and intuitive personality.

Chinese astrology is also used to make predictions about the future. By studying the movements of the planets and stars, astrologers can make predictions about what might happen in the future. But it's important to remember that these predictions are not always accurate and should be taken with a grain of salt.
