The chinese zodiac animals is made up of 12 signs, each representing a year. These are lunar years divided into 12 months of equal time, resulting in Chinese New Year Day falling on different dates in different years. A 13th "leap" year is periodically added to keep the system in balance. chinese zodiac sign

Chinese zodiac signs are all animals. Legend has it that when Buddha convened the animal kingdom to determine how to restore order to the world, only 12 chinese zodiac animals showed up. These twelve beasts came to represent the Chinese Zodiac Sign, each presiding over one year in the order in which it arrived at the meeting. Events and occurrences in a given year are influenced by the nature of that year's animal.

RAT

The Rat was the first to attend Buddha's meeting, and thus the first chinese zodiac animals in the zodiac cycle. Considered aggressive, suspicious, and power-hungry, the Rat also is said to be honest, generous, and have a sense of fair play. Those born under the sign of the Rat play to win, but not at the cost of cheating.

OX

The Ox of burden's brute strength characterizes powerful individuals with stubborn, unbending personalities. They are natural born leaders who typically succeed when given the chance.

TIGER

RABBIT

Those born under this chinese zodiac sign are not considered risk takers; valuing security and tranquility. These people avoid conflict and emotional involvement, often making them successful business partners. Albert Einstein (1879), Andy Warhol (1928), and Orson Welles (1915) were born under the sign of the Rabbit.

DRAGON

One of the more flamboyant signs of the chinese zodiac animals, Dragons are bossy, loud, garish, and unfaithful, but also popular and successful. They are natural born actors and actresses, like Grace Kelly (1928), and often major political icons, like Napoleon III (1808), and Deng Xiaoping (1904).chinese zodiac sign

SNAKE

Chinese mythology's icon for cleverness, snakes are known for abstract thought and idealism. Mao Zedong (1917), Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929), and Bob Dylan (1941) are all Snakes. The Year of the Snake is known for producing many beautiful and famous women, such as Greta Garbo and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (1929). Daughters born during the Year of the Snake are considered lucky by Chinese families.

HORSE

The Horse is hard working, and considers him/herself superior to everyone. Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson (1966) proved it when he unified all three boxing championships in 1987.

SHEEP

Sheep are considered warmhearted and honest chinese zodiac animal, but disorganized and vulnerable. They do not respond well to pressure, but will find their own natural solution to a problem when given space. Eva Peron (1919) is a Sheep, as is Douglas Fairbanks (1859) and Ike 'Turner (1931).

MONKEY

Those born in the Year of the Monkey are intelligent and entertaining, but also dangerous, with a flare for deception. They make close friends, although they cannot be trusted. American President Lyndon B. Johnson (1908), Rolling Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (1943) and Joan Crawford are famous Monkeys.

ROOSTER

The cock as an animal and zodiac sign embodies courage, arrogance, and recklessness. People born in the Year of the Rooster are skilled at what they do and attentive to details. Famous roosters include Katharine Hepburn (1909), and Ethel Merman and Groucho Marx (1890).

DOG

Dogs are characterized as being quiet but intelligent. They are introverted listeners, dedicated and honest but also cynical and prone to letting their external anxieties get the better of them. Charles Mingus (1922) and James Joyce (1882) were born under the sign of the Dog.chinese zodiac sign

PIG

Pigs are honest and reliable chinese zodiac animal. Their thirst for knowledge is unquenchable. Often successful in financial affairs, Pigs are also idealists who sacrifice their lives for good causes. John D Rockefeller (1839) and Albert Schweitzer (1875) were Pigs.
