The Western Zodiac Equivalent to the Chinese Zodiac Signs
Author: Groshan Fabiola

Chinese Astrology has its own Zodiac symbols as does Western Astrology. Oftentimes it is very difficult for one to decipher and understand how the zodiac sybmols of Chinese and Western Astrology relate to each other.

The 12 animals of the chinese zodiac

In the Chinese Zodiac, there are 12 animal signs. These 12 signs are, in order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each one of these Chinese Zodiac signs embody their own personality.

For example, the Rat in Chinese Astrology, is known to be mentally sharp and always on the go. Rats are known to be the creative type who tend to think outside the box. If there is any protest, movement, or party, Rats are often in the middle of things since people tend to be drawn to the charming nature of the Rat. They also tend to think well on their feet.

For all the positives of the Rat, their negatives are that they can be too impulsive and not patient enough with others who need more time to digest situations or who are more rational. So it is easy to be a friend of the Rat, but it is considerably more difficult to be a Rat's close friend.
