What are the signs of Chinese astrology?

In the West, astrology is based on the twelve signs of the zodiac, which are, in order, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. According to the traditional Chinese calendar, the signs are not determined by the month but by the year of birth. A year that begins on variable dates between January and February because this calendar is based on lunar cycles, at odds with the Gregorian calendar. Moreover, the signs are all animals, i.e., in order, the Rat, the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Goat, the Monkey, the Rooster, the Dog and the Pig. Since January 22, 2023, we have been in the Year of the Rabbit!

All about the year of the Rabbit, Chinese zodiac sign of 2023!

Often, the signs of Chinese astrology are double or even triple… Thus, the year of the Rabbit is also one of the Cat (especially in Vietnam)! The two animals look alike and give the same indications for those people born under their influence: governed by the Wood element and of Yin nature, their character is extremely gentle, accommodating, more like negotiating rather than conflictual, skillful, and harmonious. Most of all, the sign of the Rabbit is synonymous with great artistic creativity.…
