Chinese Love Horoscopes

Chinese horoscope is based on the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac. These are 12 animals, namely Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.

It is said that Buddha once invited all the animals from the forest to a meeting. But, only 12 animals showed up. He gave each animal a year, and said that every person who was born in the year of that animal would possess the inherent qualities of that animal.

Chinese horoscopes are also governed by 5 elements, namely Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Each element is connected with a planet: Jupiter to Wood, Mars to Fire, Saturn to Earth, Venus to Metal, and Water to Mercury.

Thus, Chinese astrology follows a 60 year cycle which is a permutation and combination of these 12 signs and the 5 elements.
