CHINESE HOROSCOPE
or the Chinese zodiac is based on a cycle of 12 years, where each year is assigned to one of the animal signs. Each sign is assigned characteristics that influence the personality of people born in a given year.

Historically, the origins of the Chinese horoscope are rooted in animal worship and date back to the Qin Dynasty, over 2,000 years ago. The order of animals is fixed and based on myth. The supreme ruler of the heavens - the Jade Emperor - compiled a calendar in which the animals were listed as they passed the finish line in the race that was held to create the calendar. All animals have great importance in Chinese culture, influence the daily life of Chinese people and are considered symbols of good luck.
It repeats every 12 years, so you can easily find out by the year of birth which animal falls on it.
