Chinese Zodiacs
The Chinese Zodiac is a 12-year cycle, each year of is named after a different animal that has distinct characteristics of 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 abilities and degree of success and happiness throughout their lifetime.
The Chinese calendar differs from the Western calendar - The beginning of a Chinese new year changes every year, on dates ranging between late January and late February. If you were born early in the year, you may be interested in looking at the description of the animal of the year before. It may suit you better!
