Chinese Zodiac Symbols Affecting Your Chinese Horoscope

By Jane Mineralis

There are many stories in the world about how zodiac symbols came to be. But if you want to know the story behind the Chinese zodiac symbols, then you have to know the story of the Jade King and how he sent out a proclamation for twelve animals to be representatives of the Earth.

It is a story of a rat, ox, tiger, dragon, rabbit, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and a pig, and how they came to represent the Chinese Zodiac. There should have been a cat instead of a pig but that rascal of a rat did not invite the poor cat.

Each Chinese Zodiac Sign Represents The Year Of Your Birth

Once you get past the mythology portion of the Chinese zodiac symbols you can get down to how the Chinese zodiac sign(s) actually work. Each Chinese zodiac sign is made up of one of the aforementioned animals. One of the animal signs represents the year of your birth. Each of the signs rotate in a twelve year cycle. If you were born this year, then you would be an ox because this is the Year of the Ox. You can learn more at http://chinese.astrology.com.

One aspect of the Chinese zodiac that people do take seriously, is the compatible zodiac signs to their own sign. Sometimes, the Chinese zodiac sign compatibility factor plays a major role in personal relationships, because with zodiac signs, there are different personality characteristics that are said to represent the person’s true self.

Accuracy Of The Chinese Zodiac Sign

Whether or not this is true and should be believed, is for you to review and decide. Sometimes the Chinese zodiac sign is accurate and people really base their worldly decisions on whatever the prediction is for that day, month or year.

One important note: if you are a fan of zodiac signs tattoos and want to get your Chinese zodiac sign tattooed on your body, then make sure that the symbol is accurate. Words in a foreign language often do not translate into the same meaning in other languages.

On the website mentioned, there are zodiac pictures that you will find to be quite unique. It would be terribly unfortunate for you to get a tattoo of your zodiac symbol and later realize that it has no relation to the zodiac.

The Jade King And His Tricky Rat

Chinese zodiac symbols are rife with history and legend. Everyone interested in a Chinese zodiac sign should know about the Jade King and his tricky rat that outsmarted the cat. The cat would have been one of the twelve signs had it not been for the rat failing to give him his invitation.

That rat was crafty and so the pig got the cat’s spot. If you are interested in learning more about the mythology and the mechanics behind the signs and how they cycle through time, then you can always find more information on the internet.
