What is the Chinese Zodiac?
The Chinese zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao (ηθ), is based on a 12-year cycle where each year is associated with an animal and its characteristics. Your zodiac animal is determined by your birth year and is believed to influence your personality, fortune, and compatibility with others.
