Chinese zodiac cycle is renewed every twelve years

The Chinese Astrology is an ancient art that applies the eastern date of birth to animals that they are associated with elements (earth - water - fire - wood - metal). They are twelve in number Simply then merge the table "birth date" and look for your birth year. 

Chinese New Year varies from one year to another, so do not apply the same theory that traditional astrology that you may be the sign of the dragon, so that you could be the sign of the snake. Chinese zodiac cycle is renewed every twelve years. The Chinese year begins on the second day of the new moon after the winter solstice. The years Chinese have a cycle of 10 years each. 

It is interesting to compare your birth chart in astrology to a theme of traditional Chinese astrology. The two often complement or provide additional data. 

It is obvious that only an insider of Chinese astrology can make your theme, because make no mistake if the turning of these pages you will find that Chinese astrology is much easier that astrology as we know it does have nothing. 

Indeed traditional astrology requires calculations quite daunting at first, while Chinese astrology is much simpler to use.
