Chinese Zodiac Signs

The Chinese calendar features a cyclical dating method that repeats every 60 years, and is based on two cycles that interact with each other. The Chinese zodiac is divided into 12 parts which are represented by 12 animals and five elements which are metal, water, wood, fire, and earth. Each animal in the zodiac is associated with its own element, while each year is assigned an element. Using the combination of these two elements is believed to define a person's personality.
