Chinese Zodiac
 

The Chinese zodiac I think has been in use since 3500 b.c. It uses "Statistics" to make sense. I have talked to many a person about their zodiac sign and how it relates to them as a person, and a great many people have physical personality traits to their animal. It's really quite interesting. Based on star patterns. When I interpret it, how I look at it is. You have your base element aligned to your sign, I am Fire. Then you have the class/type of your animal, I am Metal. Then you have the seasons in which you have stronger power, for me I believe it's summertime so more fire. The two links I like the most are travelchinaguide.com/intro/social_customs/zodiac & "chinahighlights.com/travelguide/chinese-zodiac/" .I only askance is.
What is your element and animal? Astral sign too if you want.

I am a Metal Horse. Fire element through astral sign as a leo.

I too am a Horse, in essence a Water Horse but because of the year I was born it is a Fire Horse. The Water part still play its part then.

It's quite funny as my Western sign is Taurus and Taurus & Horse are like opposites.

I don't know what you mean by 'astral'.

astrology. yours Taurus.
