What is Chinese Astrology?

The Chinese Astrology (Chinese 占星 术 zhānxīngshù = art of divination star) is closely related to the Chinese philosophy of nature and the Chinese calendar, particularly in the Zwölfjahresrhytmus changing signs of the zodiac (zodiac), which have no relationship to the western zodiac. The ancient Chinese astronomers named the five planets known to them according to the five elements. Venus is the star metal, wooden star Jupiter, Mercury Water Star, Mars, Saturn and Earth Star Fire Star. These names can be found today in the Japanese and Korean names for the weekdays.

The 28 constellations, xiu 宿 differ fundamentally from the 88 constellations lying in the West. That's the name of the constellation Great Bear (Ursa Major) dou = 斗 ladle.

The twelve-year cycle in the alternating sign (12 Earthly Branches) of the Chinese calendar and their associated characteristics are:

• 鼠 shu Year of the Mouse: aggressive
• 牛 niu year of the ox: gently
• 虎 hu Year of the Tiger: bold
• 兔 Tù Year of the Rabbit: good-natured
• 龙 / 龙 lóng Year of the Dragon: witty
• 蛇 shé Year of the Snake: smart
• 马 / 马 MĂ Year of the Horse: impatient
• 羊 yang Year of the Goat: like
• 猴 hou Year of the Monkey: unstable
• 鸡 / 鸡 jī year of the chicken: proud
• 狗 gou Year of the Dog: loyal
• Year of the Pig 猪 zhu: honest

Every year the Chinese New Year (second, in rare cases, third new moon after the winter solstice, between 21 January and 21 February), the designation of the year changes cyclically after this list of names.
