Chinese Astrology-Chinese Horoscope-Chinese Zodiac

Chinese Astrology-Chinese Horoscope-Chinese Zodiac



The Chinese zodiac is a classification scheme that assigns an animal and its reputed attributes to each year in a repeating 12-year cycle.



Humans don't control their destiny, it is determined from their birth by the alignment of the planets, the month, the day and the hour of their birth in the world. At least this is how the Chinese Horoscope, one of the types of horoscopes there are, understands it.

Which are the signs of the Chinese Horoscope?

The Chinese Horoscope is represented through animals, which are presented in this order- Rat. Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.

The Chinese Zodiac isn't only used in the Asian country, but also in others, those under the cultural influence of China. Thus, some animals may differ depending on the country.

Which is the origin of these signs?
There are several legends about the choice of animals and the specific order. Very often, it's said that the selection was made at a banquet of the Jade Emperor, the leader of the gods, or Buddha, to be selected as signs of the Zodiac.

Thus, in one version, the Ox, who was generous, would have accepted to carry the Rat on its horns. The race ended with the crossing of a river, the Rat would have preceded the Ox jumping to the shore, becoming the first Chinese astrological sign. And the cat isn't present in the Chinese zodiac because the Rat has "forgotten" to wake it up, either to compete, or in another version, to go to the party organized by the Jade Emperor for the 13 animals.
Another legend is related to the Pig, which would have convinced the Jade Emperor to be the referee to judge the value of other animals. So, he placed the Rat and the Ox in front of the Tiger and the Dragon, which made them very angry. The Monkey, to appease the Tiger, attracted it to the "king" character on the forehead.
The Rooster, to appease the Dragon, offered its horns like a crown to proclaim it "king of aquatic animals", and the Rabbit challenged the Dragon in the race; the Rabbit won when the Dragon trapped the horns in the branches of a tree.
The Rooster was responsible and, annoyed, demanded the return of its horns, but the Dragon told it that he would return them when the Sun rose in the West, and this is the reason why every morning the Rooster pleads with its song that the Sun rises to the West.
Thanks to the Dog, the Rabbit won some positions, because it had advised him to cut his tail. But when it came to congratulate him, waiting for some recognition, the Rabbit denigrated it and the Dog bit it. Therefore, he was placed in the last position as a punishment.
The Pig was at the top of the list before handing over its classification to the Jade Emperor. The last one having heard about the incidents, placed him in the last position.
Thus, the Chinese Horoscope remained as before mentioned: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.
In ancient times, much attention was paid to signs when marrying young people. Two dogs couldn't be together, for example, while a dog and a pig was a good union.

Which is my Chinese Horoscope?

In any horoscope, the moment of the birth of the individual conditions its destiny by a cosmic influence, which marks its personality, and its destiny is marked by the presence or not of the stars in this or that sector of its life.
While in Western astrology it's determined by the month of birth, in China it's determined by the year of birth. And in this sense, it's interesting to note that the month of birth of Western astrology was cut off from the tropical year, that is, in the invariable space of time that the sun takes to make the complete return of the ecliptic, so, both Chinese and Western signs are tributaries of the Sun.
The months in Western Astrology don't play any role as such, and it's the new moon that dictates the passage from one sign to another. On the contrary, in Chinese astrology, the months are important; they give birth to lunar signs.
The Chinese Horoscope, by years
Now, we expose the twelve signs of the Chinese Horoscope and the years they represent.
Rat: 1900, 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008.


Year of the Rat: Traits and Compatibility

The Rat sign influences people who were born in 1900, 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996 and 2008. Every animal in the Chinese Zodiac has a very different personality and traits. If you were born in one of these years, you'll want to know the Rat sign's strength.
In this article, we are going to tell you all about the Rat's personality, traits, and compatibility of those born in the year of the Rat with other animals from the Chinese zodiac. We will also let you know which signs the Rat is not compatible with. 
Year of the Rat traits
According to the Chinese Zodiac, Buddha called out 12 animals. The first one was the Ox, and on its back, there was a Rat. When they were both about to get there, the Rat jumped ahead. Therefore, the Rat was the first one showing in front of Buddha, stealing the Ox's first place. Wit and insight are the Rat's main traits.
We are in front of a sign with great magnetism. The Rat is the center of attention and always causes admiration. Its intelligence, sociability, skills, and success at work and in business are the main traits that characterize the Rat according to the Chinese Zodiac.
Those born in the year of the Rat are cautious and thinkers. They always analyze their techniques to succeed. They are jealous and possessive, and they can show great aggressiveness if they are bothered. In general terms, people feel a particular fascination and admiration for them.

However, every element influences the Rat's personality:

1. Metal

Those born in the years ending in 0 or 1 are a type of Rat very prone to isolation, with a somewhat sullen and taciturn character. The metal reminds us of the darkness of the night and the coldness of winter, so that gives those born under the sign of the Rat a tendency to have no friends and prefer solitude. The Rat has the same facility to build as it has to destroy.

2. Water

Rats born in years that end in 2 or 3, influenced by the element of water, have a calm and appeased nature, which reduces the intuitive and the impulsive temperament of the Rat. That is why this kind of Rats usually offer a steady personality, patience and mental strength that help them overcome all sorts of obstacles, reinforcing their success in life.

3. Wood

Those born in years ending in 4 or 5 are influenced by the strength, temperance, and harmony of wood, which gives the Rat a more balanced and peaceful nature. They tend to control their impulses more and have an enormous capacity for diplomacy. That makes them even more attractive people who always get what they want

4. Fire

The fire is the element that complicates the most the personality of the Rat in the Chinese Zodiac. Those born in the years ending in 6 or 7 awaken in the soul of the Rat a series of contradictions that lead to constant restlessness, so they are usually nervous people with high doses of stress and anxiety. They are rebellious and never settle for reality.

5. Earth

Years ending in 8 or 9 combine the sign of the Rat with the Earth element, which is always a guarantee of stability and reliability in business and economics. Although some call it especially stingy and greedy, the Rat influenced by the earth element has a great ability to save money. This element also makes them less impulsive.

Chinese zodiac Rat personality

Somehow, the Rat is predestined to suffer in love. However, suffering is the same fuel that makes them feel alive. That is because the Rat is visceral and impetuous, radical and unpredictable. And that, of course, has consequences that Rats don't usually contemplate.
In love, they only have short and very passionate relationships. Rats always give all of them, even at the risk of ending up suffering. Their love stories are often surrounded by intrigues, infidelities, jealousy, arguments and also unforgettable experiences and unique feelings. They are also endowed with great magnetism and seduction skills.
They are incomparable when it comes to business. Rats and success always go together. Their cunning and intelligence make them always flourish. They are great workers who are capable of everything due to their incredible abilities. However, perseverance is their Achilles' heel.
Besides, they are great savers. And thanks to their foresight, they accumulate large amounts of money, which they hoard in a rational and planned way. Attention: Rats are comfortable in dynamic and changing jobs and, above all, wherever they have to travel. Adventure and improvisation are at the core of their nature, and they need new challenges and courageous life.
As far as their health is concerned, Rats are always worried about their wellbeing. Sometimes their obsession can lead to a hypochondriacal nature, but that assures good healthcare. They are people with a robust physical complexion that makes them attractive, as well as qualified for hard work.

Chinese zodiac compatibility

The Chinese Zodiac Rats have full compatibility with Oxen, Monkeys, and Dragons.
Marriage, business, and life together are where the Rat gets along with the Ox. They share common interests, and that is why it is perfect for them to run a company together.
With the Monkey, they share the same point of view in love and life goals. However, in work issues, Rats are perfect with Dragons.
On the other hand, Rats don't get along with Tigers, Horses, and Roosters. Their relationship is complicated and cold, especially with Roosters, with whom communication is hard, and their ideas are the opposite. Also, arguments and fights are usual with Horses.
Ox or buffalo: 1901, 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009.




Year of the Ox or Buffalo: Traits and Compatibility

The Ox sign influences people born in 1901, 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997 and 2009. Every animal in the Chinese Zodiac has very different characteristics and traits. If you were born in one of these years, you need to know the potentialities of the Ox sign.

Year of the Ox or Buffalo traits
The Ox (or Buffalo) in the Chinese Zodiac is the second sign and has qualities linked to physical and mental strength, which makes them excellent workers and patient builders of their projects and dreams. The Ox often succeeds in life because it's organized and knows how to plan its tasks in detail, in order to achieve with commitment and confidence what they want.
The Ox's nature provides it with calm, patience and peace. It is a methodical being who always uses logic and reason to solve problems. It faces difficulties with tranquillity and avoids any conflictive situation because aggressiveness isn't its thing. Sometimes Oxen reach such levels of rigidity that they become very strong and inaccessible people.
The Buffalo is a shy and meticulous sign and does what it considers appropriate without great fuss. Sometimes, that makes them less talkative and even shyer. However, when an Ox runs out of patience, it is capable of taking out all its fury in an outburst of unpredictable consequences.

On the other hand, it is a home and family being because it instinctively seeks stability. The Ox family is a classic union in which the man is an efficient supplier that makes his family never lack anything, and the woman is an excellent manager of the economy. As a general rule, the Ox in the Chinese Zodiac is a conservative person in all aspects of life.
Their personality depends on the element that influences their sign:

1. Metal

Oxen in the Chinese horoscope are influenced by the element of Metal when they are born in the years that end in 0 or 1. This confers a rigid nature that is reinforced by ethics and methodology. They are difficult to deal with because they become solitary and inflexible, arrogant and stubborn. However, they tend to have a successful professional career thanks to their great efficiency and intelligence.

2. Water

People born under the sign of the Ox (or Buffalo) and in years finished in 2 or 3 are influenced by the element of Water. This type of Ox knows how to deal with adversities and difficulties with serenity and patience. That is why they tend to be more introverted, solitary and conservative when it comes to contradictions.

3. Wood

When the natives of the Ox in the Chinese zodiac have been born in years ending in 4 or 5, they are influenced by the element of Wood. That links them much more to the serenity and stability of nature, and to the peaceful dedication to their creativity. The Wood nuances the aggressive impulse that the Ox can have in exceptional moments, and helps them to focus on their work.

4. Fire

Those born in the years ending in 6 or 7 belong to the Ox sign influenced by Fire element, which accelerates the crafty nature of the Ox or Buffalo. Sometimes this element makes them feel anxious because the Ox does not know how to handle those nerves and that accelerated pace of life. The key is that the Fire Ox knows how to deal with the impetus of its element to break the limits of its conservatism.

5. Earth

When the Ox in the Chinese Zodiac is influenced by the Earth element (born in the years ending in 8 or 9) its bond with mother earth, its conservative nature, its tendency to family unity, its creativity, and its sensuality are reinforced. The challenge for these kinds of Oxen is to fight against closeness and isolation and to make efforts to have a more adventurous life.

Year of the Ox or Buffalo personality

The Ox in the Chinese Zodiac has a remarkable sense of sensuality that makes them very attractive and irresistible. They know how to separate this attraction and sensuality from the feeling of love, and this is what makes them excellent lovers. The problem comes when they confuse passion with love because they have a tendency to difficult and confusing relationships.
The Ox has a natural elegance from which emanates an invisible force, with a savoir-faire and a serenity that gives it an atavistic, vigorous beauty. They prefer solitude to gregarious life, which also gives them an aura of mystery and magnetism.
Their strength and balance make them people with great health, in addition to being endowed with privileged anatomy. They can develop very demanding physical activities with great skill, as they have strength and endurance that makes them amazing. They also know the key to a good physical condition.
However, due to its conservative personality, its tendency to prevention, its moderation, and its reflective personality, the Ox or Buffalo usually avoids crazy adventures and gives the least possible space to chance and the unpredictable. This, although it may give them a space of safety and long-term advantages, prevents them from learning interesting experiences and living adventures.

Chinese zodiac compatibility

The Ox in the Chinese zodiac has very high compatibility with the Snake, the Rooster, and the Dragon.
The Ox and the Snake share the same sense of sensuality, which makes them find themselves in a suggestive game of insinuations. Once together, they complement each other perfectly well, because the Ox absorbs the cunning of the Snake and it finds stability in its companion.
They may seem opposites, but the opulent and powerful Dragon and the patient and shy Ox connect very well. The Dragon has the star of success and the luck of the winner, but usually is too ambitious and ends in ruin. The Ox skills for management are perfect for them.

The Rooster shares the same point of view of life and the way of understanding happiness. Both are tireless and constant workers who need to create a safe space in their lives. If the two meet, they will be able to create a stable family and find happiness in small things.
On the other hand, the Ox (or Buffalo) has low or null compatibility with the signs of the Tiger, the Dog, and the Monkey.
Tiger: 1902, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010.




Year of the Tiger: Traits and Compatibility
According to the Chinese Zodiac, the years of the Tiger are 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998 and 2010. Every animal in the Chinese Zodiac has very different traits and personality. If you were born in one of these years, you need to know about the strengths of the Tiger sign.
In this article, we are going to tell you about the traits and the personality of the Tigers according to the Chinese Zodiac depending on the element (metal, water, wood, fire, or earth) that influences this sign. We will also let you know which other signs you are compatible with and which are your worst enemies. 

Year of the Tiger traits

The legend says that when Buddha called out 12 animals, the Tiger was the third one that came to him. This is the reason why it is the third animal of the Chinese Zodiac, following the Rat and the Ox. Those born in the year of the tiger have an adventurous soul, courage, impulse, passion, and they are fun.
Tigers are irreflexive and make the most of life —sometimes without thinking about the consequences. Their lucky colours are blue, white, orange and grey, and their lucky numbers are 1, 2 and 3. However, every element influences the Tiger's personality:

1. Metal

Those who were born in years that end in 0 or 1 have a very passionate nature if they are women, and very feminized and indecisive if they are men. They have an impressive ability for perfection and usually have few friends and an arrogant personality. Those born in the year of the Tiger that are influenced by metal tend to end up alone and unhappy, but that's not enough for them to quit that pride and arrogance that characterizes them.

2. Water

The Tigers that were born in a year that ends in 2 or 3 are influenced by the element of water. They are leaders and have high levels of self-esteem, and their learning capacities are unusual. The water is Yin, and the Tiger is Yang. Therefore they result in a powerful counterbalance. When the Tigers are moved by their ferocity, the water element will calm them down and soothe them.

3. Wood

Those born in a year ending in 4 or 5 are influenced by a very outspoken, open and understanding personality. Their capacity for overcoming problems and for fighting against adversity is impressive. The Tigers born under the wood element influence usually foresee obstacles and face them with grace.

4. Fire

The Tigers born in years ending in 6 or 7 are the most visceral of all. It is usually hard for them to control themselves. They are optimist and independent, but they are constantly looking for solutions to everything. This can lead them to be annoying sometimes —they always have something to say. They end up lost in their own world.

5. Earth

The years that end in 8 or 9 combine the sign of the Tiger with the element of Earth, resulting in an adventurous personality and great faith and convictions. However, this element may make the Tiger have inner conflicts. This shows how difficult it is for them to make decisions.

Chinese zodiac Tiger personality

People who were born in the year of the Tiger are unpredictable. They are carried along by their feelings, and they have an impetuous and passionate personality.
In love matters, they are very independent and free. They usually try to show strength to hide their weaknesses. Tigers need love and affection, but they'll always try to hide it from people so nobody realizes. They just live their lives far from large groups of people. When they finally find real reciprocity, they have a lot to offer —but until then they are distant and feline.
However, they are not steady and constant. Tigers have a powerful inner strength that is willing to come out. But they want instant satisfaction; they want people to applaud them and appreciate them. And if they realize that their efforts won't be getting any rewards, they don't find it worthy to waste their energy.
Despite that, they are very disciplined. They are moved by ambition, not the final result itself. It is almost like an inner force would always fix their goals. For Tigers, their job has to be pure passion.
The Tigers think that they can control everything. However, they can't control their own body. The Tiger's health in the Chinese Zodiac is under a lot of effort that makes it degrade faster than the rest of the signs. They have to take good care of their own body.

Compatibility with other signs

The Tiger, the Horse, and the Dog make the perfect compatibility triangle. They share the passion for life, idealism and the seek for the spiritual. They are impetuous, vivacious creatures that need to be embraced by their loved ones. When it comes to their ambition, they can show themselves aggressive and surly.

Their justice sense is much higher than the rest of the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Their beliefs and values feed their inner strength. Tigers always act with honesty, even though sometimes they may seem impulsive.
The Pig is a good counterbalance that gives the Tiger serenity and stability, and it is very compatible with the element of water Tiger. On the other hand, the Monkey, the Snake, and the Ox can be the Tiger's worst enemies.
Rabbit or cat: 1903, 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011.




Year of the Rabbit or Cat: Traits and Compatibility
The year of the Rabbit or Cat includes all of those people born in 1903, 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, and 2011. Every animal in the Chinese zodiac has very different traits and personality. If you were born in one of these years, you'll want to find out everything there is to know about the Rabbit sign's strengths.
So, in this article, we'll tell you all about the Rabbit's characteristics, personality, and the compatibility of those born in the year of the Rabbit or Cat with other animals from this type of Eastern horoscope. Besides, we tell you exactly which signs the Chinese zodiac Rabbit should avoid.

Year of the Rabbit or Cat traits

Those born in the year of the Rabbit or Cat are characterized by a distinguished style, refined taste, and luxurious lifestyle. They enjoy drinking expensive wine, and they love buying high-end clothes or attending the most important social events. They are very demanding, and their values are governed by education and their exquisite taste for the finer things in life.
That's why, sometimes, Cats can be excessively smug and snobby. They do not have many friends and tend to move in elitist or highly exclusive circles. They don't like being in places that are anything but classy.
This is a sign that seeks happiness and, to do so, they make an effort to avoid confrontation and obstacles. When complicated situations arise, the Chinese zodiac Rabbit tries to avoid all difficulties and escape: facing challenges is not their thing. That's why this sign isn't exactly cut out to be a leader, or to work in very competitive environments.
Unlike what some people think, people born in the year of the Cat are actually highly sensitive and very bright. Thanks to their ability to analyze everything around them, they'd rather be safe than sorry. That's why this sign never gets into trouble. Their personality makes them a relentless negotiator and highly diplomatic, on the other hand: this sign is very good at persuading and convincing with their great rhetoric.
The personality of this sign depends on the element that influences them:

Metal

Rabbits born in years ending in 0 or 1 are influenced by the Metal element. This gives them strength and self-confidence as far as business matters are concerned. Also, this element makes them more cunning and strengthens their intelligence, making them highly competitive. Their ability to anticipate and analyze, along with their logical problem-solving skills are just a few of their talents.
Water
Water (the element that influences those born in years ending in 2 or 3) makes those born under this sign extremely sensitive beings -one of their best features. Therefore, this type of Cat loses its conviction and can be easily influenced. These people lack problem-solving skills and end up isolating themselves.

Wood

The Chinese zodiac Rabbit combined with the Wood element, i.e., those born in years ending in 4 or 5, are highly attractive. They aren't snobby like others born under this sign -they are more generous, understanding and sociable. Their strong point is teamwork and their appetite for fame and fortune which always take them far.

Fire

The Fire element influences Cats born in years ending in 6 or 7. This element enhances their skills to the max. That is why they are extremely cunning, and they use this to their advantage in business endeavours or private life with diplomacy or for their own personal benefit. These Chinese zodiac Cats are discreet but very ambitious and they hide their true intentions to get what they want.

Earth

The Earth element, for those that belong to this sign born in the years ending in 8 or 9, the Earth brings stability to their nature. This makes them more reflective and introspective, which on the one hand guarantees their success in their projects. But, it also makes them more elusive and less in tune to interpersonal relationships. They always tend to satisfy their material needs first.

Chinese zodiac Rabbit (Cat) personality

It isn't always easy to have a relationship with someone born in the year of the Rabbit or Cat, but it could be much more difficult too. To be in a relationship with someone from this sign, their partner has to know them very well. On the other hand, they are very sensitive, which makes these Rabbits romantic, thoughtful, understanding and generous, with a tendency to solve conflicts with peace and reason. However, they can sometimes be a bit over the top which can end up being a bit difficult to manage.

Their refined and elitist understanding of life forces them to constantly move in their exclusive circles. You might feel somewhat undervalued by these people, and when they're at their most pompous, they can even make others feel inferior. Sometimes those born in the year of the Cat can be demanding and narcissistic lovers since they always need to be adored and pampered by the people around them.
This sign is an excellent manipulator. When they need something, they will always get their way by using their persuasion techniques. Also, in business, a Cat could sell a comb to a bald man. However, their inability to solve problems makes them face reality and they usually end up depressed and moody.
Those born in the year of the Rabbit have extraordinary vitality and good physical health. They like taking care of their body and have a hidden talent for overcoming health problems. Also, according to Eastern astrology, the Rabbit attracts good luck and therefore, they manage to get out of sticky situations safely and without any troubles. Their refined taste and appetite for quality food and drink mean that they live a long and healthy life.

Chinese Zodiac Compatibility

The Chinese zodiac Rabbit or Cat is highly compatible with the Pig, the Ox, and others born in the year of the Rabbit.
The Rabbit and the Pig are very don't have much in common and they have different goals in life, but they know how to work together in spite of these differences. That is why they make an extraordinary couple, where both have the generosity and insight needed to reach an agreement where all of their strengths outweigh their weaknesses when they are together.
A relationship with the Ox can be very satisfying thanks to their balance of strengths and weaknesses. The cunning, intelligent and skillful Rabbit acts as a counterbalance to the clumsy Ox, which in turn evens out this sign's sociability, generosity, and elusive personality.
There's no doubt that a Rabbit's relationship with other's from the year of the Rabbit (Cat) will definitely be satisfactory since only the exclusive and refined soul of another member of this sign could possibly understand and endure the elitist oddities of this Chinese zodiac sign. These two will merge into a cultured, intellectual and reserved couple satisfying each other's whims and interests due to their deep understanding of one another.
The Tiger, Monkey, and Rooster could have difficulties coexisting with the Rabbit or Cat due to personality differences.
Dragon: 1904, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012.




Year of the Dragon: Traits and Compatibility
What is the year of the Dragon, you may ask yourself. The Dragon sign influences people who were born in 1904, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, and 2012. Every animal in the Chinese Zodiac has very different characteristics and traits. If you were born in the year of the Dragon, you need to know the Dragon characteristics of this sign.
In this article, we are going to explain what those born in the year of the Dragon are like, focusing also on the different dragon traits, and, to finish, we are going to let you know which is the Chinese zodiac dragon compatibility. 

Year of the Dragon traits

If you were born in the year of the Dragon, you are characterized by power and wealth. The Chinese emperor himself is a Dragon. They are touched by a magic wand that provides them with the ability to achieve everything they want. They are creators and makers and have a special tendency for fortune.
The Dragon is a synonym for self-trust, magnetism, attraction, charisma, and action. Thanks to those characteristics, they dare to have impossible dreams which result in great works and projects.
People born under the influence of the Dragon sign are usually popular and trendy. Their aura —a mixture of intelligence, talent, and energy— makes people admire their words and ideas, which is a popular Dragon personality trait. 
However, the Dragon can easily be influenced by bad habits, egocentrism, and luxury that usually carry terrible consequences. They are prone to wasting money and have a tendency to be broke. The Dragon's narcissism requires constant attention, and if they don't have it it will lead to frustration, discouragement, and depression.
The Dragon's personality is influenced by the element that characterizes it:

1. Metal

Those who were born in years that end in 0 or 1 are more cautious than the rest. They usually consider the consequences of their actions more than other Dragons. Metal Dragons have a tendency for inactivity, for their wise instinct tells them to analyze the risks of every situation.

2. Water

Dragons born in years that end in 2 or 3 are influenced by the element of water, which is Yin, while Dragon is Yang. This kind of Dragons have a balanced temperament and reject luxury and power. They focus their positive energy on humanist and altruist actions. Their generosity is boundless.

3. Wood

Those who were born in the year of the Dragon that ends in 4 or 5 are less self-confident and it is more difficult for them to make decisions. The wood element brings apathy and discouragement. Dragons born under this element's influence are constantly fighting against these feelings. If there is someone who can win this battle, that is the Dragon.

4. Fire

Fire influences people born in years ending in 6 or 7. The Dragon is under a mixture of double Yang influence that could enhance his tendency to bad habits. They usually get carried away by passion and luxury and can't handle their own ego. However, they are unstoppable if they can control their energy.

5. Earth

The Earth Dragon in the Chinese zodiac is born in the years that end in 8 or 9. Dragons influenced by the element of Earth are unpredictable and surprising. However, they tend towards isolation and are usually overwhelmed by their own contradictions. It is hard to get along with them due to that special temperament.

Chinese zodiac Dragon personality

One of the most important Dragon traits is their inflexibility. It is not simply stubbornness, but something deeper. They are completely sure that they are superior to anyone else. Therefore, they are always right. Disagreeing with a Dragon means getting in trouble, so think about it before doing so.
Their reactions are not always good and they may respond with anger. Dragons are so impetuous that they can't distinguish between bad reactions and admirable behaviours. Besides, they can fool whoever they want and make people feel admiration and devotion to them.
When they surrender to love, there's no going back. However, Dragons don't always believe in love. Sometimes they are not willing to offer their love if they are not sure that the other person deserves it. Some end up alone. But when they give themselves to love, they love with all their heart. Here is the romantic side of those born in the year of the Dragon.
Natives of this Chinese zodiac sign are great workers and this is one of the most valuable Dragon characteristics. They dream big and usually achieve the goals they set. However, nothing is ever enough for them. They always want more. That is the reason why dragons always succeed in wonderful things.

Chinese zodiac Dragon compatibility
According to the Chinese Zodiac, Dragons have great relationships with the signs of the Rat, the Monkey, and the Snake.
Besides, the Monkey's wit and the Dragon's power favour their love. The Monkey helps the Dragon cross the limits, and they both learn to enjoy life together.
Snakes are easily seduced by the power of Dragons. Their subtle charms will win their heart over, leading to a successful relationship. The snake will balance the worst aspects of the Dragon's nature.
The Rat is the other sign that also helps balance the Dragon's life. They share ideas and points of view. They have a lot of things in common, and that is the key to success in their love relationship.
Among the most known Dragon eminent personalities we can name Rihanna, Sandra Bullock, Liam Neeson, Bruce Lee, John Lennon, Nicolas Cage, Salvador Dali, Sigmund Freud, Joan of Arc, Martin Luther King, Robin Williams, Dr. Seuss, and Frank Sinatra. 

The Dragon is 100% incompatible with the Tiger, the Dog, and the Goat (Sheep).

Year of the Snake traits

Cunning and wisdom are the characteristics that define the Snake's personality in the Chinese Zodiac. Their ability to reflect and their innate intelligence give them an analytical nature that gives them an advantage when making decisions. They are usually excellent counsellors, and they have a deep knowledge of the human soul. Snakes also tend to be profoundly philosophical
But at the same time, Snakes are discreet and stealthy; they don't like to be noticed. They also have a hidden talent: their natural elegance.

A person born in the year of the Snake is reserved and shy, sceptical and introspective.

In a Snake's house, there is no lack of books, music and quality clothes. They are usually very stingy people, which means they have loads of money.

The Snake can't be a human's best friend.They are reserved and distrustful, spiteful and greedy, and can be very harmful. But when one manages to penetrate their personality, they will always have a faithful friend and an excellent counsellor.
Their personality depends on the element that influences their sign:

Metal

A snake born in years ending in 0 or 1 usually have a nature influenced by metal, which induces a contradictory and unstable personality. Their desire to build is counterbalanced by his unstoppable desire to destroy, and that leads them to a permanent struggle between the positive and negative to find stability. They may tend to be defeatist and get discouraged easily.

Water

Those born in years finished in 2 or 3 are Snakes influenced by the Water element. That reinforces their intelligence, cunning, and intuition. They are excellent at resolving conflictsbecause they know how to calibrate the pros and cons and find solutions through mediation. When Ying and Yang are combined, they are very complete, balanced and harmonious personalities, with well-defined contrasts.

Wood

Wood influences Snakes born in years ending in 4 or 5. This element causes aggressiveness and impulsiveness which enhances their distrustful and closed nature. To avoid putting themselves at risk, Snakes influenced by Wood prefer to remain in the shadows. They also have a more selfish and interested nature than the influenced by other elements.

Fire

The Fire element is present in people born in the year of the snake in years ending in 6 or 7. Fire Snakes are usually individualists that tend to be lonely and self-sufficient. They trust their abilities and skills and rarely ask others for help. Sometimes that makes them a little arrogant, and they believe that they are above good and evil.

Earth

People influenced by the Snake sign who were born in years ending in 8 or 9 receive the classic features of the Earth element, which makes them very reflective and intellectual. Sometimes they may lose interest in things they used to be passionate about, so they fall into a state of lethargy that's hard for them to get out of.

Year of the Snake personality

Elegant and endowed with natural beauty, the Snake is as attractive as it is destructive in matters of love. Their distrust often leads to feelings such as resentment, suspicion, and jealousy, and they have as much capacity for passion and craziness as for evil and revenge.
Those born in the year of the Snake are capable of falling in love and giving free rein to their passion. And although they are people with an irresistible magnetism, their unrestrained desire to analyze everything and their reflexive personality makes it hard for them to let go. They always examine all of the possibilities and that can lead them to indecision on many occasions.

Snakes are hard-working people that tend to be successful especially in work that requires intelligence and analytical ability. They are lively and constant, so they tend to reach the goals they have set for themselves. Thanks to their intuition and wisdom, they are highly valued workers.
Also, due to their prudence, Snakes never get into trouble and, although sometimes that makes their lives less exciting, they make sure that they are safe. They are people with a lot of self-confidence and stability, in addition to having great health.

Chinese zodiac compatibility

People born in the Chinese zodiac year of the snake are compatible with the Rat, Ox, and Rooster.
With the Rooster, they complement each other very well when they are in social environments. Those born in the year of the Snake are somewhat solitary but elegant and attractive, whereas the Rooster adores being with people, although sometimes it lacks some diplomacy.

The Ox and the Snake are compatible especially in love. They are good together in sex and, moreover, although they sometimes have difficulties in the early stages of their relationship, once they overcome this, their love could be everlasting.
The Snake's relationship with the Rat means a successful partnership in business. They share cunning and intelligent. A company created by the Snake and the Rat can generate great benefits.
On the other hand, the Pig, Tiger, and Horse are signs that are incompatible with the Snake. They have too many differences and incompatibilities which arise the most negative traits of the personality of all of them.

So, in this article, we are going to tell you about the Horse's traits, personality, and compatibility with other animals from the Chinese zodiac. We also let you know which signs is the horse incompatible with.  

Year of the Horse traits

The sign of the Horse in the Chinese Zodiac is an adventurer, a free spirit which always avoids ties and lives independently. It needs autonomy and freedom. They always make their dreams come true with optimism because they pursue their desires with great vitality until they get what they want.
Horses' most important trait is their vitality: they are energetic, friendly, hardworking and creative. Passivity and inaction for them is a way of wasting the priceless treasure of life. They have great physical strength, and they are excellent sportspeople. The Horse needs open spaces, they need to move.
Horses are mixed with nature. They are born in freedom. Therefore their tendency is always to go back to it. Closed spaces and the city limit their strength and their movement, enclosing their dreams as if they were imprisoned. Horses will only be happy when running free.
Their flaws are fury and impatience. Their bodies usually work at a frenetic pace, and it is frequent that they end up having arguments and fights in which they cannot control their impulses. Also, they are lousy savers and often fall into some excesses. It is not weird for Horses to be bankrupt.
Their personality depends on the element that influences their sign:

1. Metal

Metal (the element that influences the natives of years ending in 0 and 1) reinforces the most radical features of the Horse in the Chinese Zodiac, turning it into a rebellious and capricious being, hasty and not very responsible. The Horse lives its life with an unbridled rhythm trying to embrace everything and squeeze every second to the maximum. Horses aren't afraid of anything.

2. Water

Water influences people born in years ending in 2 or 3. It gives the Horse an intellectual dimension that, due to its personality, means a spiritual elevation that insatiably seeks the abstraction of religion and philosophy. Water-influenced horses have a refined sense of humour and are very sociable, although their organizing skills are not very good.

3. Wood

People who were born in the year of the horse ending in 4 or 5 are influenced by the element of Wood. They are quiet, but they still need freedom and independence. However, they are not so adventurous. This kind of Horse enjoys pleasant environments surrounded by friends and acquaintances.

4. Fire

Fire influences those born in the years ending in 6 or 7. Chinese people are afraid of this type of Horse. In the years of the Fire Horse, many people had abortions in China. We are facing a personality with excessive energy: pure passion, debauchery, lust. They don't have limits whatever the consequences.

5. Earth

The Earth element influences Horses born in years ending in 8 or 9 and are influenced by a crafty nature. They know how to find the equilibrium between calm and thoughtfulness when it comes to making the right choice. That is why they are excellent financial managers and specialists in saving companies in danger of bankruptcy.

Chinese zodiac Horse personality 

Although the Horse in the Chinese Zodiac may be romantic and indulge in the most unbridled passion when it falls in love, its need for freedom is a factor that makes it incompatible with an everlasting love. That's why it's an unsuitable sign for sedentary people because they can't stand not having the freedom and action they need.
In love, the Horse is unpredictable, developing an enormous sexual fury, lust, and debauchery. But at the same time shows a certain weakness in love relationships, being very susceptible to suffer from jealousy and disappointment. Under the hard armour of this independent adventurer hides a more sensitive person.
Horses have the profile of a tireless worker who has two main skills: creativity and constancy. In addition to enviable physical strength, his free spirit is imaginative and creative. They use all these resources to work constantly and conscientiously with a single aim: to achieve what they set out to achieve.

The Horse is therefore synonymous with success, although not with wealth. Their carefree and adventurous nature sometimes gives them a responsible and methodical personality, which leads to serious problems in maintaining economic stability. It is likely to succumb to temptations, and although somewhat selfish, it has little tendency to save. Its passion for life and the lack of limits in everything it does sometimes lead it to be bankrupt.

Compatibility with other signs

The Horse in the Chinese horoscope is compatible with the signs of the Tiger, the Dog, and the Goat or Sheep.
With the Tiger, the Horse finds a powerful union thanks to their vitality and enthusiasm. They are two very positive and optimistic creatures. Both can undertake the craziest adventures, and find the powerful force of constancy and determination when in bad times.
The Dog is capable of breaking the Horse's inability to have lasting relationships and will do so by putting the necessary ingenuity and dynamism into their relationship. Both of them like to do activities that break the routine and turn life into a fun game.

In some aspects, the Goat and the Horse can collide: the Horse tends to adventure and debauchery, while the Goat is passive and sometimes tends to discouragement. But the generosity of the Goat implies a tender understanding of the Horse. Therefore, Horses find in Goats elegance, beauty, and seduction.
On the other hand, the Horse has a high incompatibility with the signs of the Rat, the Rabbit (or Cat), and the Snake.
Goat or sheep: 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015.




Year of the Goat or Sheep: Traits and Compatibility
The year of the Goat or Sheep includes people born in the years 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015. Every animal in the Chinese Zodiac has a very different personality and traits. If you were born in one of these years, you need to know the strengths of the Goat (Sheep) sign.
In this article, we'll tell you all about the Goat's traits, personality, and the compatibility of those born in the year of the Goat or Sheep with other Chinese zodiac animals. Besides, we'll tell you which signs from this horoscope you're incompatible with.

Year of the Goat or Sheep

People born in the year of the Goat or Sheep turn flaws into strengths and strengths into flaws. That is because the Goat has such a powerful inner force that it is capable of reversing any situation. Also, they are often unpredictable and surprising, so one should never underestimate them.
The Goat is a solitary sign. Just like the animal it represents, it always looks for lonely paths in search of inspiration and dreams. The Goat or Sheep is always dreaming, although it's not often that we're able to enter the deepest part of its soul. These people are reserved and shy and can sometimes seem weird.
But on the inside, they are pure and tender. They live their dreams and hopes in an introspective way and try to develop it with a lot of ingenuity. They know how to overcome difficulties while exploiting their creative nature. Although it is not the most common part of their personality, the Sheep can really shine.
Nobility is another of the Goat's main traits, so they are faithful and honest people with whom we can establish a stable and rewarding friendship. Because of the Sheep's introspective nature, they can easily collapse and tend to be pessimistic and sad.
Their personality depends on the element that influences their sign:

Metal

Those born in the year of the Goat or Sheep in years ending in 0 or 1 are influenced by the Metal element: creativity and shrewdness. This can lead to a certain complacency that makes them relax and, in the end, that has negative consequences. But metal also offers Goats, in return, faithfulness, and rigour.

Water

Water is the element that influences Sheep born in years ending in 2 or 3. This Yin element influences the Yang of the Goat, complementing its peaceful nature and making it more balanced. However, it can result in excessive tranquillity that makes them slow and overly calculating.

Wood

Those born in years ending in 4 or 5 are influenced by Wood, and that means greater stability, harmony, and temperance. These Sheep are excellent mediators because they never lose their composure, possessing great elegance and diplomacy. The con here is that sometimes Wood can make the Goat or Sheep's personality contradictory.

Fire

The Fire element that influences the Goat for those born in the years ending in 6 or 7, provides the natives with excess energy that makes them overwhelming people at times. They are very nervous and act hastily and try to resolve their contradictions with attitudes that can lead to a certain type of aggressiveness.

Earth

When a Goat or Sheep was born in years that end in 8 or 9, this person is influenced by the Earth element, which reinforces their bond with nature. The Chinese zodiac Goat tends towards stability, is reluctant to make changes and is a homebody that likes safe places. All this is reinforced in the Earth element, which makes this Goat or Sheep prefer comfort.

Goat or Sheep personality

The Goat needs to feel protected and pampered, and that is why this animal falls in love easily. Those born under this sign are cuddly and affectionate, tend to fall in love quickly and are very sweet in new relationships. They are thoughtful, so if you want to win a Goat or Sheep's heart, a romantic detail such as a dinner, jewellery or flowers, should do the trick.
Professionally speaking, the Goat's weakness is their lack of organization. Also, they are not conscientious workers and are easily distracted. That's why they don't usually meet deadlines. 
Goats are good in creative and intuitive tasks, but be careful: they don't tolerate continuous changes well because it makes them emotionally destabilize and prevents them from giving the best of themselves. They prefer stable jobs where they can feel safe.

When Sheep show their most emotional side, they usually complain and whine. In the end, however, it is impossible not to feel sweet compassion for them, for they are endearing people who only need understanding and affection.

Chinese zodiac compatibility

The most compatible signs with the Goat in the Chinese Zodiac are the Rabbit, Horse, and Pig.
With Rabbits, the Goat (Sheep) has a beautiful relationship and can establish fruitful unions both professionally, as well as in love and friendship. Their ability to communicate is very fluid, and they also share very similar and complementary points of view.
With the Horse, they share interests, projects, hopes, and dreams. The Horse manages to awaken the Goat's need to dream, revitalizing their inner world and enhancing their best skills.
Finally, the Goat or Sheep has a good relationship with the Pig, especially in love relationships, for both are loving and affectionate. The Pig can give the Goat the emotional shelter this person needs when this animal feels sad and helpless.

The lowest levels of compatibility, however, occur with the Tiger, the Monkey, and the Dog.
Although the Tiger and the Goat share the same sense of diplomacy that makes them both respect each other, one thinks the other is wrong and vice versa. Therefore, with an obvious communication problem, these Chinese zodiac signs can never agree.
The Goat just can't stand the Monkey, so they are 100% incompatible. In addition to not being able to stand each other at work, they don't like each other physically and are unable to maintain a lasting love relationship.
But the least compatible sign is, without a doubt, the Dog. Its point of view, the traits of its personality and behaviour are the opposite. They are totally unable to establish steady relationships.
Monkey: 1908, 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016.




Year of the Monkey: Traits and Compatibility
The Year of the Monkey includes all people born in the years 1908, 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, and 2016. Every animal in the Chinese Zodiac has very different characteristics and traits. If you were born in one of these years, you'll want to know all of the Monkey's strengths.
In this article, we'll tell you all about the Monkey's characteristics, personality, and the compatibility of those born in the year of the Monkey with other Chinese zodiac animals. Besides, we tell you which signs you aren't compatible with.

Year of the Monkey traits

In the Chinese Zodiac, those born in the year of the monkey have the gift of curiosity, and that takes them to places that nobody else can reach. They want to try and know everything in the world, and they feel anxious until they satisfy their desires. Their natural talents, like a privileged intelligence, great mental agility, and an enormous creative power take them wherever they wish.
People born under the sign of the Monkey tend to have a childish personality, but in a good sense: they are extremely naughty and sometimes act impulsively without thinking of the consequences. So, that makes them somewhat whimsical. They are always respected and loved, but they feel resentful whenever somebody doesn't do what they want.
People have to be careful with this sign, for the Monkey is somewhat evil. Their sharp intelligence and cold, calculating mind make them unreliable. Those born in the year of the Monkey are vindictive: they calculate their actions and meditate the consequences and attacks where it hurts the most. Also, they have a great capacity for adaptation.
On the other hand, the Monkey can be a hilarious friend. For them, life is like a game, and that's where their naughty and playful personality comes from. They know how to enjoy moments in good company, and spending time with them means laughter and fun. They're also very snoopy, and they like to gossip. If you are with them, you will always be aware of everything.
Their personality depends on the element that influences their sign:

Metal

The Monkey in the Chinese Zodiac born in the years ending in 0 or 1 is influenced by the Metal element and they are people with great business skills. They have an independent personality and winning is their aim. They always look for success with courage and do not rest until they achieve it. They are pragmatic and tireless workers.

Water

A Chinese Zodiac Monkey influenced by the Water element (born in the years ended in 2 or 3) has another method for success: this person knows how to scrutinize the human soul. The Water Monkey listens and studies others' behaviours. Sometimes they don't do anything disinterestedly and they are even prone to betrayal. They are very sensitive, but they don't usually show it.

Wood

A person born in the year of the monkey in years ending in 4 or 5 is influenced by the Wood element, which gives them a very impulsive personality. They always need to go further and they will not hesitate to push anything that bothers them out of the way. However, they focus all their energy on safely and steadily completing their work rather than minding people's business.

Fire

Monkeys born in the years ending in 6 or 7 are influenced by the element of Fire, which is synonymous with leadership and creativity. Sometimes People born in the year of the Monkey need to put a brake on their abstraction and anchor themselves grounded. But their ambition and brilliance make them a natural leader who always achieves success thanks to their overflowing energy.

Earth

The Monkey sign influenced by the Earth element, i.e., people born in the years ending in 8 or 9, have a prudent, moderate spirit. Their playful and mischievous personality is balanced by an introspective depth that makes the Earth Monkey prefer being comfortable and at rest, with time to meditate. Unlike the other elements, this is a more altruistic and understanding Monkey.

Year of the Monkey personality

The Monkey in the Chinese Zodiac usually has difficulties in establishing a stable relationshipbased on trust and loyalty. However, their eroticism and sensuality levels are high, and they are very skilled in the art of seduction. That is why they are extremely attractive, and it is easy to fall under their spell.
Their cold and calculating personality, non-negotiable independence, inflexibility, thirst for revenge and unpredictable reactions make them a challenge for a steady relationship. But when Monkeys fall in lovethey can find the source of their spiritual wealth in their relationship, and focus their abilities to achieve success and happiness in their love life.

Also, having a Monkey in your life guarantees prosperity. The Monkey is a tireless worker who can even handle two or three jobs at the same time because they are led by ambition. Thanks to their analytical capacity and intelligence, they are very resolute. They are good researchers, and they are also successful in the entertainment industry.

In spite of their independent personality, Chinese Zodiac Monkeys always need to have someone they can trust by their side. Their playful and mischievous personality and impulsive spirit often make them fall into excesses and vices. Monkeys are smokers, drinkers and like to party, and therefore always need someone prudent by their side to prevent them from throwing their life away. 

Chinese zodiac compatibility

The Monkey in the Chinese horoscope is compatible with the Dragon, the Rat, and the Rabbit.
Ambition bonds the Monkey with the Dragon. Also, the Dragon brings strength while the Monkey brings intelligence. Of course, they are a powerful couple, but where they do better together is in business.Both the Monkey and the Rat are excellent guardians of the economy. Although it may be hard for the Monkey at first, the Rat will lead them to a quiet life in the warmth of home. Both will develop a sensual, pleasant and prosperous relationship.

The union between the Monkey and the Rabbit ensures a winning combination of intelligence and diplomacy. Some differences might come up at times, as they do not always share the same perspective, but the final goal will make them solve those obstacles in a pragmatic way.
The Snake, the Goat, and the Tiger are, on the other hand, signs with very low compatibility with the Monkey.

Rooster: 1909, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017.




Year of the Rooster: Traits and Compatibility

The Rooster sign influences people born in the years 1909, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, and 2017. Every animal in the Chinese Zodiac has very different characteristics and traits. If you were born in one of these years, you need to know the potentialities of the Rooster sign.
In this article, we are going to tell you all about the traits, personality, and compatibility for those born in the year of the Rooster. We are also going to let you know which other animals this sign should avoid.

Year of the Rooster traits

If you were born under the Rooster's sign, your personality is very hard to handle, but it is surely fascinating too. The tenth sign of the Chinese Zodiac is joyful, extravagant and with an extrovert nature.
One of their most particular features is precision and meticulousness. They are thoughtful and don't like to leave anything to chance. They tend to become obsessive people who don't rest until they get a satisfactory result, which has good and bad things.
On the one hand, people admire them because of their work efficiency. Their determination and dedication make them a reference for many, and a key piece in team projects in which their meticulousness spreads to others and guarantees success.
On the other hand, however, the temperament of the Rooster is not at all easy. They can be very annoying and arrogant because they expect others to act as they would —and that makes them especially critical and impertinent.
Their strong points are honesty and exemplarity; their flaws are lack of touch and lack of diplomacy. On the other hand, the Roosters do not mind being the center of attention and have many skills for the performing arts.
Their personality depends on the element that influences their sign:

1. Metal

Those born in the years ending in 0 or 1 are always willing to help others, they are also charismatic and lovable. They are self-confident and they usually feel comfortable being the center of attention, although sometimes they are a bit narcissist and don't like criticism at all. Their seduction powers are irresistible.

2. Water

Those born in years that end in 2 or 3 are characterized by the mysterious stillness of water and, in the case of Roosters, by a privileged intelligence. The Roosters that are influenced by the element of water usually feel comfortable studying because they are very methodical and meticulous. They also have great rhetorical and communicative skills.

3. Wood
Roosters born in years ending in 4 or 5 are influenced by the element of wood, which provides them with harmony and calmness that they spread everywhere. However, Rooster's nature always ends up showing their arrogance. But their great advantage is their ability to turn everything they touch into progress and prosperity.

4. Fire

Fire, the element that influences people born in the years ending in 6 or 7, turns all the traits of the Rooster's personality into an explosion of radicality —for better or for worse. This type of Rooster is conceited and self-confident. They do everything radically and extravagantly and have an urgent need to be noticed and be the center of attention.

5. Earth

The years ending in 8 or 9 combine the Rooster with the Earth element. In this case, the Roosters have a detective instinct that makes them want to know everything. Their insatiable curiosity sometimes makes them be snooper, but on the other hand, they have great skills to perform any research-related matter.

Rooster personality traits

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Rooster is ambiguous and dual. On the one hand, they are lovable because they are sweet, endearing, charming people. It's easy to have a nice relationship with them and they're very seductive.
But on the other hand, coexistence is somewhat more difficult with them. They are obsessed with order and cleanliness. And by showing their most exigent and repellent side, we will directly face the most unpleasant trait of Roosters. But they must be loved as they are: fussy and indecisive, sweet and repellent.
Roosters usually display their meticulousness and perfectionism: they can spend hours doing the same task until they achieve perfection. And that makes them feel proud of themselves in front of others. That's why they tend to be passionate about their work and real conscientious workers, the kind of any boss wants to have in their team.

Be careful, because that extravagant, rude, arrogant personality is just a mask. Roosters are full of weaknesses and insecurities. They show a strong and attractive personality but they really are prisoners of a conservative and cautious nature.
Compatibility with other signs
The Rooster has full compatibility with the Ox, the Snake, and the Dragon.

The union with the Ox implies long-lasting professional or life projects, as both admire each other and share very similar points of view. The Rooster's relationship with the Dragon is even more explosive, as they have a magical connection that makes them feel the same vibrations and long for their dreams. They establish such an intimate relationship with the Snake that they don't need to talk: they understand each other with a touch or a look.

On the other hand, Roosters don't have an intense relationship with the Rat and the Rabbit, with whom they rarely establish lasting and successful relationships. There are too many things that keep them away. With the Tiger, once the passion is gone, they will end up forgetting each other. Roosters also should be careful in their relationships with other Roosters... Let's not forget about cockfights...
Dog: 1910, 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006.




Year of the Dog: Traits and Compatibility
The Chinese zodiac year of the Dog includes all of those people born in the years 1910, 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994 and 2006. Also, 2018 is the year of the Dog. Every animal in the Chinese Zodiac has a very different personality and traits. If you were born in one of these years, you need to know the potentialities of the Dog sign.
In this article, we'll tell you all about the Dog's Characteristics, personality, and the compatibility of those born in the year of the Dog with other Chinese zodiac animals. Also, we let you know which signs from this horoscope you are incompatible with.

Year of the Dog traits

Those born in the year of the Dog in the Chinese Zodiac are friendly and affectionate. Their nature encompasses the values of justice, honesty, and humanity, which connects them to the soul of the human being. As they also have an instinctive attraction, they are always surrounded by friends and people who love them.
One of the virtues of the Dog is its cunningness and shrewd ways. They are guardians of their property, guarantors of security, and therefore have developed a talent for observation, analysis, and detection of problems, as well as a natural talent for research. They are people with a highly developed intelligence who always know how to analyze the situation in which they find themselves.
Probably the weak point of Dogs is that because of their full dedication to others they end up neglecting themselves. They usually become anxious at their inability to find the path to happiness. If they do not find a family nucleus or a space of security and stability, they may tend to be depressed.
People born in the year of the Dog are not ambitious. They are detached from the material goods, and that, in addition to being a loyal friend always willing to listen and advise free of prejudice, makes them really generous. That is why their personality is so appreciated, and whoever has a Dog friend by his side can say that they have a friend forever.

Their personality depends on the element that influences their sign:
Metal
Dogs in the Chinese Zodiac born in years ending in 0 or 1 are influenced by the Metal element, which gives them a reserved and shy personality, with a tendency to be conservative. They are usually repressed and always looking for their comfort zone. They tend to have a stiff and reserved personality influenced by their element.

Water

The Dog of the Chinese Zodiac born under the influence of the Water element (years ending in 2 or 3) is influenced by an attractive and sensual nature. They are always surrounded by people who love them. Also, this element reinforces their perspicacity and intelligence. They always know how to make the most of their innate qualities.

Wood

People that belong to the year of the Dog born in the years ending in 4 or 5 are influenced by the Wood element. This gives them a sense of peace and serenity, which makes them crafty people. They have some difficulties facing a fast-paced life and always look for comfort. However, they compensate their laziness with a refined sense of intelligence.

Fire

Those Dogs born in the years ending in 6 or 7 are influenced by the Fire element. This combination offers an elegant, cultivated, and refined personality. It is a very charismatic type of Dog that always tends to reinforce its spiritual purity and move away from the material. It has an excellent capacity for conviction and is also surprisingly resolute.

Earth

When Dogs in the Chinese Zodiac are influenced by the Earth element (born in the years ending in 8 or 9) they are perseverant and highly organized, so they have a natural talent to set realistic goals and move patiently towards their fulfilment. They are also admirably unremitting, so they will rarely give up and will always want to improve.

Year of the Dog personality

People born in the year of the Dog aren't the best lovers, but their love is everlasting. This is how the Dog's personality is summed up in romantic relationships. The way they see love is guided by their values. Love has to be intimately linked to fidelity and loyalty, and that is why they always tend to have long and stable relationships. They don't like having affairs and flirting.

They are not good at playing the field. The Dog is not the best in bed, nor the most passionate. To awaken their interest, we will have to try hard to find the things that make them abandon that reserved nature. The Dog in the Chinese Zodiac always tries to rationalize their feelings.
In matters of health, Dogs always tend to think that everything bad is going to happen to them because they are very apprehensive people. This makes them hypochondriacs, with a tendency to be anxious and nervous. And in the long run, they can also develop depressive symptoms. Also, gluttony is their most common vice.
They may not be the best workers but when they want they can be constant and responsible. Their nature makes them lazy, but that is not a problem: they are not ambitious and don't have great expectations. They are content and satisfied with a comfortable and safe life next to the people they love and to whom they devote all their time and energy.

Chinese zodiac compatibility
The Dog in the Chinese Zodiac is highly compatible with the Tiger, Snake, and Horse.
The Dog and the Tiger have developed a great ability to neutralize their differences. This has led them to the path of a longlasting union, either in love or at work. The Dog's peace and quietness balances the Tiger's impulse, and both share the same goal.
With the Snake, the Dog shares sensuality and magnetism that makes them form an explosive and attractive couple. Also, the Snake is the only one that can awaken that hidden and repressed passion in the Dog, and turn this sign into a fiery lover.
Horses offer those born in the year of the Dog their generosity and optimism that can be very beneficial to them. Both form an extraordinary and exciting couple, both in love, where they will find themselves safe and in business, where they will be a patient and resolute pair.
However, the Dog in the Chinese Zodiac is incompatible with the Rooster, Dragon, and Goat.

Besides, this 2019 is the year of the pig. Every animal in the Chinese Zodiac has very different traits and personality. So, if you were born in one of these years, you need to find out all of the boar's strengths.
In this article, we'll tell you all about the Pig's characteristics, personality, and the compatibility of those born in the year of the Pig with other Chinese zodiac animals. Besides, we tell you the signs that you aren't compatible with.
Year of the Pig or boar traits
The Pig in the Chinese Zodiac has an affable personality and a heart of gold. They are very funny and there is always laughter wherever they go. That is why they are good friends, and whoever has a Pig in their life can consider themselves lucky.
Their kindness comes from the fact that they are always concerned about people's well-being. They are generous at a physical and emotional level. People born in the year of the pig always need to make sure that the others are feeling comfortable and happy.
Some of the hidden talents of the Pig sign include their elegance, which gives them a magnetic attraction, and the fact that they are good lovers. They are all about the pleasures in life, and they sure know how to enjoy them. You will always find them in good feasts. When it comes to love, they tend to be lustful.
Those born in the year of the Boar are patient, loyal, sincere, hardworking, sociable, generous, helpful, and unpretentious. However, some of their weaknesses are that they can be fatalistic, gloomy, naïve, materialistic, superficial and credulous.
Their personality depends on the element that influences their sign:

Metal

Those born in the years ending in 0 or 1 are the toughest kind of Pig in the Chinese Zodiac. Their gullible nature is substituted by an inflexible personality. Sometimes even too much. They don't get fooled so easily, and they move away from toxic spaces where they can be criticized and badly influenced. They know how to pick their environment well.

Water

Those born in years ending in 2 or 3 are influenced by the Water element. This Boar has a much more introspective nature. For this reason, when the sign of the Pig and the Water element are combined, a very crafty and serene personality emerges. They are always willing to help others by offering them peace and balance.
Wood
Those Boars born in years ending in 4 or 5 are influenced by the Wood element, which gives balance to their inner world and reinforces their intellectual strengths. They are very creative and intelligent people, always awaiting their training and eager for knowledge. They have an innate talent for the performing arts and are always looking for beauty.

Fire

Those born in the year of the pig in years ending in 6 or 7 are the most active because they are always concerned about being excluded from other people's plans. They don't mind being the centre of attention, and they always avoid passiveness. They are usually part of projects and organizations to improve the world and the lives of those in need, always with justice and equality as unbribable values.

Earth

Years ending in 8 or 9 combine the year of the Pig (boar) in the Chinese Zodiac with the Earth element. Their personality is very focused on professional success and economic prosperity. Some consider them very selfish and stingy people, but in reality, they are not ambitious beings. They are just too strict and have an obsession with getting the most out of their money.

Year of the Pig (Boar) personality

If we could use one word to describe the Pig's nature, it would be 'love.' Love is their cornerstone, and that is why they give their body and soul to the person they love the most. That leads them to be sometimes somewhat naïve, and to suffer more than one disappointment that they do not always know how to deal with.
At the same time, they like luxury and going overboard. However, boars are also excellent, disciplined workers. They like to live well because they know what it's like to work hard, and they work hard to live well.  They are realistic, responsible, perfectionist, and only set goals that they can achieve.
In fact, the key to always being optimistic and happy is that they are not ambitious, but rather conformist. It is difficult to find a Pig that is extremely successful, powerful, and wealthy. They always tend to have little money, because they are generous and like to have a good life. Since they don't usually long for great things, they never feel the frustration of needing something and not having it.
Health is a weakness of those born in the year of the Pig. They are very sensitive, so they are usually nervous and anxious. They don't tend to have a healthy lifestyle and eat and drink too much. They sometimes suffer from heart problems.

Chinese zodiac compatibility

Those born in the year of the pig or boar are most compatible with the Rabbit, Goat, and Tiger.
With the Rabbit, they are a very balanced couple, because the Pig is generous, thoughtful and affectionate, and the Rabbit, intelligent and sensitive. This sign gives Pig peace and stability, as well as a big dose of affection. Besides, both are easily contented.
The Pig and the Goat complement each other perfectly because they find in their point of union the perfect mix of affection and passion. The Pig tends more to excesses and sexuality is very important to them, but the Goat will grant them a more spiritual perspective.
The boar's union with the Tiger is surprisingly positive because although they have different personalities, they find balance thanks to their willingness to work and their commitment. People born in the year of the Pig will understand the impulsive Tiger and offer him warmth, while the Tiger admires Pig's fidelity and good humour.
The least compatible signs with the Boar are the Horse, the Monkey, and the Snake.
