CHINESE ASTROLOGY

More than your zodiac animal.

You already know your Chinese zodiac sign — but that's just the surface. Your full chart has three animals (year, month, and hour), a ruling element, and a yin/yang polarity that together reveal a layered personality, your real compatibilities, and your fortune for the year ahead.

What is Chinese Astrology?

Chinese Astrology is built on a 12-animal zodiac — Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig — combined with the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) and Yin/Yang polarity. Together these form a 60-year cycle, so a "Fire Horse" is meaningfully different from a "Water Horse."

Most people only know their year animal. But your birth month and hour each carry their own animal too — your "inner" and "secret" selves. A full reading interprets all three as a living trio.
