Astrological Year

Western Astrology and Vedic Astrology (Indian Astrology) are based on the Zodiac Sign of the date of your birth. These astrological systems divide the year into12 periods, with each one being represented by a Zodiac Sign.

Chinese Astrology is based on the Chinese New Year of the year of your birth. Each year is represented by an animal, known as the Chinese Signs of the Zodiac, in a cycle of 12: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
