Every year, there is a lot of talk about the Chinese horoscope, but not everyone is so clear about how this Asian zodiac works. However, knowing the sign of each of the people with whom you have some kind of relationship can be very useful to know what they are like and how they will behave in different situations. Below we give you all the details of the Chinese horoscope so that you know what they mean when they say that we are in the year of the Monkey, the Horse or the Pig. This is everything you should know about the Chinese horoscope.
This is the Chinese horoscope: know all the details
The Chinese horoscope, like the Western one, is based on signs, but instead of talking about Capricorn, Aries or Pisces, the Chinese zodiac contemplates 12 animals. And, depending on the year in which you were born, you will belong to one or another sign. However, it is necessary to take into account that the Chinese horoscope is guided by the Chinese calendar, which depends on the lunar cycles. Therefore, the year begins approximately in our February. Therefore, if you were born in the first weeks of the year, you will feel more identified with the sign of the previous year.
Every year, one of these signs is the protagonist of a year. For example, 2016 corresponds to the Year of the Monkey and 2017 to the Year of the Rooster. The qualities of the sign that stars each year affect the way of being of the people who were born during it. Therefore, if the Tiger is impulsive, all those who are born in a year of the Tiger will also have something impetuous.
