The 12 animals

Each animal belongs to one of the twelve Earthly Branches. The animal changes at Chinese New Year, not on 1 January.

How compatible are your signs?

Traditional Chinese astrology reads compatibility from the relations of the Earthly Branches: combinations such as harmonies and trines, and tensions such as clashes, harms and punishments. Pick two signs to see every relation tradition names for the pair.

The Five Elements

Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water are phases of change. The element of a year comes from its Heavenly Stem and adds a second layer to the animal.
