THE CHINESE ZODIAC


"Red Monkey" by Blackflag
copyrighted,1996

There are 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac,
which consists of 12 year cycles.
Each animal represents a year in the 12 years
and imparts distinct characteristics to its year.
Many Chinese believe the year a person is born
is the primary factor in determining
that person’s mental and physical attributes,
the degrees of success and happiness to be achieved,
and personality traits.

Years before 1903 and after 2010 are not covered here.
Add or subtract 12 to find your year if
you fall in this time stream….it’s easy…
