Chinese Zodiac Signs (https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/a46573142/chinese-zodiac-signs/)
Started thousands of years ago, the Chinese zodiac, also known as Chinese astrology, has 12 animal signs that rotate each year to form a 12-year cycle. The cycle begins with the Year of the Rat, followed by the Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
People have always sought to understand themselves and those around them, and the ancient Chinese zodiac — a combination of a zodiac animal that repeats in 12-year cycles and an accompanying natural element that differs based on the last number of the year —gives you a list of personality traits and qualities. Reading the Chinese zodiac can help you figure out who might help — or hurt — your potential and happiness, as it gives recommendations for good zodiac animal matches and warns of those who may not be a fit.
