The Chinese astrological signs are represented by animals and change every year. They originate from Buddhism. The story goes that one New Year evening, Buddha had invited the animals in his kingdom to come and see him. There were twelve of them, as follows: the rat, the ox, the tiger, the rabbit,the dragon, the snake, the horse, the goat, the monkey, the rooster, the dog and the pig. To thank them, Buddha dedicated each one of them their own year. The children born in a particular year would inherit the characteristics of the relevant animal.

As well as the twelve signs, the Chinese zodiac also uses the five elements: Fire (adventure), Earth (discipline), Metal (intensity), Water (intuition) and Wood (understanding). These also define an individual's personality. Each Chinese astrology cycle thus lasts 12* 5 = 60 years and also involves 28 constellations!
