The two zodiacs that describe you
Discover the characteristics of Western and Chinese astrology — two different portraits of the same person. Enter your birth date below to see your personal horoscope.
The Chinese zodiac, also called Shēng Xiào, is a system of 12 animal archetypes, each ruling a whole year in a 60-year cycle. Here it is not the date but the year of birth that determines your animal.
Each animal is paired with one of the five elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water — which nuances its character. So a Wood Tiger behaves very differently from a Metal Tiger.
The Chinese tradition looks at the animal not only for personality but also for compatibility, career, luck in a given year and the path of the soul.
The five elements (Wu Xing)
- 🌳 Wood — growth, novelty, flexibility, creativity.
- 🔥 Fire — passion, leadership, charisma, expression.
- ⛰ Earth — stability, care, reliability, balance.
- ⚙ Metal — precision, discipline, ambition, purity.
- 💧 Water — wisdom, intuition, depth, adaptability.
Yin and Yang
Each animal carries Yang energy (active, bright — Rat, Tiger, Dragon, Horse, Monkey, Dog) or Yin (receptive, dark — Ox, Rabbit, Snake, Goat, Rooster, Pig). It describes how your inner energy moves in the world.
Compatibility triads
In Chinese tradition the animals group into four triads in natural harmony:
- 🐀 🐉 🐒 — Rat, Dragon, Monkey: visionaries and strategists.
- 🐂 🐍 🐓 — Ox, Snake, Rooster: intellectuals and realists.
- 🐅 🐎 🐕 — Tiger, Horse, Dog: idealists and protectors.
- 🐇 🐐 🐖 — Rabbit, Goat, Pig: diplomats and creators.
Note: the Chinese New Year falls between January 21 and February 20. If you were born in that window, you may belong to the previous year's animal.
