The animals of the Chinese Zodiac represent certain horoscopes. Each person has an animal, depending on the year they were born. For example, if you were born in the year of the Tiger, your horoscope can include things like, "you are angered easily." Your horoscope also depends on the year of the Chinese New Year. If the year is the year of the Tiger, for example, and you were born in the year of the Tiger, your horoscope could be different when it is the year of the Pig.

∙ 14y agoTwelve Signs make up the Chinese Zodiac. Legend has it, the twelve animals were summoned by Buddah to a race. The order in which they completed the race would determine the ranking order of the signs. In order to test the animals, Buddah charted the course across land and sea. The clever rat, knowing there was no chance for victory, surveyed the group of animals and decided that the best option was to climb onto the back of the ox who was capable of moving fast across land, strong enough to move through rough terrain, and could swim across water. Just as they neared the finish line, the Rat jumped off and thus became the first sign! Click on an animal below to learn more about each of the twelve signs.
