Chinese Zodiac Introduction!

 

This is just a quick overview. You can get a lot more indepth then I have here. For example, besides the 12 year animal cycle there is also a 4 year element cylce that influences each year. (Each year is either a Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth year). The year starts on the Chinese New Year (which can fall anywhere from Mid-January to Mid-Febuary) so if your birthday is early in the year you might be the previous year's animal.
