The eastern zodiac is similar to the western one in that is consists of a repeating cycle of 12 'totems' that correspond to personality types - the eastern ones are all animals, while the western ones are only partially so (e.g. Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio). The number 12 is one of those numbers often given mythical significance. While the western signs of the zodiac each represent a month, eastern ones each represent a year. With both types of zodiac a popular activity is calculating the romantic compatibility between two people.

The 12 signs of the cycle, in order, are: the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Sheep, the Monkey, the Rooster, the Dog, the Boar/Pig, the Rat, the Ox, the Tiger, and the Rabbit. They are governed by the 5 Eastern elements. Earth, being the central element, governs all the signs but chiefly the Dragon, Rat, and Ox.
