Modern day Chinese astrology has come a long way from the ancient, imperial era method of astrologers fixing their gaze on to the sky and trying to foretell events or looking for heavenly omens.

Dating back to 2637BC, Chinese astrology can reveal a person's character, emotional makeup and lifestyle.
Named after one of the 12 original animals, each year of the 12 year calendar cycle forms the Chinese zodiac. Following Jupiter's orbit around the Sun, the celestial circles were divided into 12 parts and rounded off to 12 years by the ancient Chinese astronomers.
Animals are considered to impact a person,s life giving him traits, happiness and success.
Ancient Chinese astronomers associated five major planets with 5 major elements like Venus with metal, Jupiter with wood Mercury with water, mars with fore and Saturn with earth.
Modern day Chinese astrology also involves a complex system of computation on birth time and day.
Fairy tales are based on stars like the two forbidden lovers were separated by the Milky Way, Summer Triangle is the trio of the cowherd who carries the sons across the bridge to re-unite with the mother.
In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin and yang is of inter-twinned opposing forces interdependent on the natural world.
In their Yin and Yang forms in astrology, the 60 year calendar consists of the first cycle of 10 heavenly stems or the five elements and the second of 12 zodiacal animals in the order of rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and boar.
Rat person can charm others; exploit others'feeling, emotions and thoughts and good at leading and conquering. When challenged, he can cruel and dangerous.
Ox people are stubborn, love wealth and prosperity but can be loyal and good friends.
Tiger people are love adventurous lives, are attractive and always look for surprises.
Rabbit people are known to solve problems. They are political and diplomatic and love arts and culture.
Dragon people, known for strength, health and harmony, can also be charismatic and are known for their honesty and sense of duty.
Snake symbolizes deep wisdom and thinking.
The 60 year cycle is the number of years from Yang wood Rat to Yin water Boar. As the zodiacal animal cycle is divisible by 2, Yin and Yang can occur only once.
Years that end in even number is Yang while those with odd number are Yin.
This is especially useful information for students of Chinese astrology. Most times too much focus is put on the Western and Vedic systems while forgetting the wisdom of the ancient Chinese astrologers. Broadening your horizon will be helpful in understanding the stars mysteries.
