Chinese Astrology Information

Like Western astrology, the Chinese use the time, date and location of birth combined to reveal unique aspects to one’s character and emotions, but more than this, it is used for a myriad of purposes- from business and matchmaking, planning and predicting the sex of a child, to even estimate the length of a life.

However, all people born on a specific animal year are not entirely the same and that’s where the five elements come in to play as these distinguish one’s character from the next. Each element gives its characteristic traits to the sign as a whole. To learn more on this, see the Five Chinese Elements.
