The Chinese Zodiac goes by years and not by months. The animals involved are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. Each animal is repeated every 12 years.
Chinese scientists still don't know how zodiac animals originated. It's a mystery.
Certain animals became more powerful or respected and held the ranks for their defined years of reign.
Animal symbols in the Chinese New Year calendar repeat every 12 years.
There are no particular number on all English Zodiac signs. They are based on people not animals, but China is based on animals, the Chinese Zodiac signs have 12 animals (Dog, Pig, Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey and Rooster.)
The Chinese zodiac, unlike the astonomical zodiac, is not categorized into months, but years. The animals are: rabbit, dragon, tiger, ox, horse, snake, monkey, rooster, rat, pig, and dog.
Western Zodiac consists of different days, whilst Chinese Zodiac is about years.
Lion, bull, scorpion :)
In Chinese Zodiac It Is The Tiger
The animals on the Chinese zodiac don't stand for months. They stand for years. The year 2013 is the Year of the Snake.
Aquarius is the western astrology sign of the water-bearer, who is usually depicted as a male human. There's no restriction on what "animal" of the Chinese zodiac any western astrological sign can be, since the Chinese zodiac is based on year (approximately) and the Western zodiac is based on month (approximately). It's like asking "What years does December fall in?"
The Chinese Zodiac is based on years, not months.
