The Chinese Zodiac is an ancient and accurate system used by millions throughout the world. Chinese astrology is based on cycles: a cycle of twelves years, continually repeated. The 12 Chinese astrology years are symbolized by twelve Celestial Animals : Rat (Mouse, Mongoose), Ox (Buffalo, Bull, Cow), Tiger, Rabbit (Hare, Cat), Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat (Sheep, Ram), Monkey, Rooster (Chicken, Cock, Phoenix), Dog and Pig (Hog, Boar). The animal names sometimes differ with the country they originate. The Chinese Yearly Horoscopes are constructed around these 12 Animal Signs.

Your Chinese Astrological Zodiac Animal Sign is derived from the Chinese Lunar Year of Birth that you were born. The Chinese New Year changes and could start anywhere between 21st January and 20th February, depending upon the year. If your Date of Birth falls into any of the following Chinese Lunar Years, then, if you are born in the Year of the Ox, you are identified by your Celestial Animal, the Ox (or Buffalo or Bull or Cow).

In Chinese Hsia Calender, 2007 is the 4704th year and significantly, is also the fourth year of the New Feng Shui Land Luck Cyclic Period 8. The forthcoming new Chinese Lunar Year is from 18th February 2007 to 6th February 2008. The next Chinese New Year, the Yang Earth Rat will begin on 7th February 2008.
