12 Chinese Zodiac Sign Explanations and More!
Of all of the qualities and meanings associated with the color red my favorite is that of China. The Chinese view Red as representing prosperity and happiness, an attraction to good luck rather than the danger and power representations of other cultures. For this reason we dedicated our Red pages to things Chinese. Our 12 Chinese zodiac sign section will introduce you to the Chinese astrological signs and the animals associated with them. Chinese astrology compatibility is also discussed, as is the Chinese zodiac calendar. If you are wondering which of the 12 Chinese zodiac sign you are, you’ll find all the information you need here. The Chinese Zodiac calendar focuses on the year you were born rather than the month, each of the 12 Chinese zodiac sign having a twelve year cycle. These cycles are all listed in our Chinese zodiac calendar section which makes finding your Chinese zodiac sign a breeze. 
To give you a brief overview of the 12 Chinese zodiac sign; they are – Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. The Rat is considered the most prestigious of the 12 Chinese zodiac sign, and the entire 60 year cycle of the Chinese zodiac calendar begins with him. Chinese astrological signs are based very much on lunar cycles rather than the solar system of the western horoscope. A Daoist belief is that; as we are composed of 75% water, and the moon controls and affects all water on the earth, it has a great effect on us also. Not that the Chinese astrological signs completely disregard the sun cycle. Each of the 12 Chinese zodiac sign has an inner animal which is governed by a person’s month of birth. The day and hour of your birth are also ruled by different animals, so as you can imagine the Chinese zodiac calendar is quite thorough and very interesting. Now that you have a basic understanding of the Chinese zodiac calendar, visit our 12 Chinese zodiac sign section to discover your Chinese zodiac sign and your Chinese astrology compatibility.
