Happy Lunar New Year! If you’re new to the world of the Chinese zodiac, then you’re in the right place.
We’re breaking down the Chinese zodiac!
THE BASICS
Each Chinese New Year/Lunar New Year, a new year in the 12-year cycle begins. Your Chinese astrological sign is based on what animal rules the year of your birth. Each animal possesses a unique trait, personality, and natural talent.
Those born under the Year of the Monkey, for example, are witty and intelligent, just like the monkey. Those born under the Year of the Dragon, therefore, are powerful and energetic.
YOUR ASCENDANT SIGN
Like in Western astrology, Chinese astrology has an ascendant or rising sign. This is determined by the hour you were born and governs how you come across to other people.
People born in the hour of the Snake can be seen as philosophical and attractive by most people. Those born in the hour of the Dog may seem serious but deeply loyal.
THE ELEMENTS
All 12 of the zodiac animals are governed by five different elements: earth, water, fire, wood, and metal. Each year has its own ruling element and animal. Your element is determined by the last digit of your year of birth.
- Metal: Birth years ending in 0 or 1
- Water: Birth years ending in 2 or 3
- Wood: Birth years ending in 4 or 5
- Fire: Birth years ending in 6 or 7
- Earth: Birth years ending in 8 or 9
Each element also corresponds to a characteristic or trait.
