Chinese and Western Zodiacs: So Different. So Similar.

The Chinese zodiac is a cultural artefact that has continued to thrive for thousands of years. Many cultures throughout history have created their own unique-yet-similar celestial systems for predicting the future…while observing the exact same stars and planets. We will look at the Chinese and Western zodiac systems. Why so different? Why so similar? Why have zodiacs survived? What would it look like if we merge them? We explore all these questions and include a fun section on “Prediction” vs. “Reality” for some of your favorite famous relationships. What is your Animal-Sun sign? Let us know in the comments!

Chinese = Lunar Calendar Western = Solar Calendar

[@Phoenix-ks8sc]

The Western Zodiac also has an elemental part, connecting each sign with either water or fire or earth or air (fire - aries, leo and sagittarius / water - fish, cancer, scorpio / earth - virgo, taurus, capricorn / air - gemini, libra and aquarius). Most interesting would probably be if a person had counteracting elements like a fire tiger who is also a fish (water). They could either be in balance or exstinguish one another or be prone to shift power at random or one becomes dominant, right?

year

[@lisahsu4394]

Yes, the year you were born will tell you which animal you are. If your birthday is toward end of January or first 2 weeks of February, you need to check when the lunar year began for that year.
