To answer your question, yes Chinese Astrology is reliable. Let me explain why:
Chinese Astrology, more properly known as The 4 Pillars System, The 4 Pillars of Destiny, or BaZi has been around for thousands of years.
It, much like many other Chinese Philosophical systems bases itself on the same universal principals that are used all throughout Chinese culture.
These principals include Yin-Yang (or the concept of duality) which is the origin of the binary system that all of our electronics work on today, the 5 elements, the concept of the body and soul and even one the concept of a consciousness.
One of the most interesting parts of Chinese Astrology (and many other Chinese Philosophical Systems) is the way in which they have been kept alive through history.
See, thousands of years ago, when these theories were developed, the people of Ancient China were not aware of the idea of religion.
As time went on, and religion was introduced, these philosophies were protected and carried forward by the Taoists. But, because the Taoists acted effectively as the "custodians" of many Chinese Philosophies, and because Taoism is a religion, these theories too were explained religiously.
Now, for the first time, the Philosophies of Ancient China are being restored to the way they once were. I found a website called Ming Man at www.ming-man.com. They have begun creating videos that beautifully explain everything there is to know about Chinese philosophy, and they do so in an upbeat, easy to understand way using graphically rich animations.
It's worth checking out and they offer free videos on their website www.ming-man.com/player (you'll need to open a free account) and on their YouTube channel www.youtube.com/user/mingmanproductions#p/u/0/gBQ2_AuNhAk&fmt=18
Chinese Astrology has 12 signs like western astrology does, but the Chinese name whole years after their signs, whereas western Zodiac signs only last for a month.
