Chinese Horoscope

The Chinese Zodiac consists of a 12 year cycle, each year of which is named after a different animal that imparts distinct characteristics to its year. Many chinese believe that the year of a person's birth is the primary factor in determining that person's personality traits, physical and mental attributes and degree of success and happiness throught his/her lifetime.
This year is the year of the Tiger, and Chinese New Year will be on January 28, 1998. This year will also be the Chinese Lunar Year 4696, as the Chinese follow the lunar calander. You will see that I have arranged the order of zodiac accordingly (see above), as last year was the year of the Ox, and next year will be the year of the Rabbit.
Make note that when you look up your corresponding sign, if you are born in the months of December, January or February, that you may be the next sign. This is because the lunar calandar isn't fixed like the solar calandar is. Instead,it is based on "farming" (agricultural) times (ie harvest, seeding, etc).

NoTE : This is only a general page on the Chinese Zodiac. If I get enough response, I may make this a little more detailed -
In no way am I an expert. I just compile the data :)
