Chinese Zodiac

The Chinese Zodiac is a classification scheme based on a twelve-year cycle, with each year associated with a specific animal and its reputed attributes. The twelve animals in the Chinese Zodiac are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each animal is believed to influence the characteristics and fortunes of individuals born in that year. The cycle is further linked to Chinese astrology and the lunar calendar, where each year is represented by an animal that embodies its own unique traits and symbolism. The Chinese Zodiac is also central to cultural traditions, including celebrations like the Lunar New Year, influencing personality profiles, compatibility with others, and predictions for the year ahead.
