In addition to the Sun-sign based Western zodiac sign, everyone also has a Chinese zodiac sign. Based on a completely different system (which includes lunar calculations), the Chinese astrological calendar changes every January/February at the Aquarius new moon. The year of birth can tell you a lot about personality, interests and life path. Find out what your family’s Chinese astrological years and signs say about them.
