The 12 Earthly branches are an astronomical means of telling time. The ancient Chinese, through the observation of the orbit of Jupiter, divided the celestial sphere into twelve sections, much like the modern Western zodiac. The 12 Earthly Branches are thus what is known as the Chinese zodiac: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig.

In Chinese astrology, the 12 Earthly Branches are a system used to represent time, directions, and zodiac signs. They correspond to the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each branch also has associations with specific elements, seasons, and yin-yang qualities, playing a crucial role in Chinese metaphysics and fortune-telling. These branches are integral to the Chinese calendar and traditional practices.
In China, any of the twelve animals, representing the twelve Earthly Branches, used to symbolize the year in which a person is born. With 12 earthly branches and 12 animals (the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig), Chinese show a person's year of birth. And this is the year of Tiger.

Chinese astrology is based on lunar cycles and animal signs, while Western astrology follows the zodiac and planets. Both offer personality insights and predictions but use different systems and elements.
