Chinese Zodiac Signs
The Chinese zodiac (生肖) is a 12-year cycle where each year is represented by an animal. Unlike Western astrology which follows the stars, the Chinese zodiac is based on the lunar calendar and deeply tied to the Earthly Branches (地支) used in Ba Zi. Your zodiac sign reveals core aspects of your personality, element, and compatibility with others.
