No. I don't believe that the world is divided into 12 different personalities and we are controlled by the stars at all. When you read your horoscope, it is easy to relate to a few things because they are so generic. They are more fun, than factual, to me.

no. all the people born during the same year as me are supposed to be highly intelligent, which doesn't seem to match my actual experience with them.

Well, they are too many fakes about Chinese astrology, just as the "Baby gender prediction": http://www.chinese-tools.com/astrology

i dont believe in any of the astrology..... they are good for nothing... i read them when i m getting boar...

chinese astrology is not only those yearly signs... just as the western astrology is not just those monthly signs... they do have astrology done by birth time and date that should help increase the accuracy of them

I dont believe in any kind of astrology. Why? I think it is a big steaming pile of BS.

no, but I think it is interesting.

The animals I believe in. They do seem to represent the character of the person for the most part.

Yes, along with your zodiac and element. I've researched it quite a bit and anyones we've searched and looked up with all 3 together, they make a good profile of a person. Before I start explaining let me tell you why the animals are in the order they are so you get to know the animals a little bit. The jade emporor(god) invited all the animals to heaven for a party and all the animals that attended were awarded a year in there name. The rat and the cat Hitched a ride on the ox, and when the ox was crossing the river the rat pushed the cat off into the water(this is why cats hate water and why cats and rats are swarn foes) right before the ox reached the beach the rat jumped off of him and claimed 1st place in the race Awarded the 1st year, part of the 1st trine of animals and is Yang. The ox finished 2nd and was awarded 2nd place in the zodiac, 1st animal in the 2nd trine and is Yin. (Symbolizing two opposites with parts of eachother in eachother, when one is at its highest the other is at its lowest completely equal but different.) The third animal was the tiger, It was hard with the currents pushing against him but with his powerful strength he was awarded the 3rd place in year and 3rd trine 1st animal and is Yang. The rabbit arrived with a big thump on the shore not really knowing how it got so far but was awarded 4th place in the year 1st animal in the 4th trine and is Yin. The dragon appeard in 5th place and explained he would have been there sooner but helped the animals and creatures on earth, he saw a poor rabbit clinging to a log and gave it a puff of breath to shore. The emperor was pleased and awarded The dragon the 5th year and the 2nd animal in the 1st trine and is Yang. A galloping horse appeared Under its hoove a snake was hidden its appearence frightend the horse giving the snake 6th year and 2nd animal 2nd trine Yin, and Horse 7th year 2nd animal 3rd trine Yang, Not long after that the Ram Monkey and Rooster came to shore, They explained how rooster spotted the raft and how ram and monkey cleared the weeds together. Ram(Sheep or Goat) was awarded 8th year, 2nd animal 4th trine Yin, Monkey 9th year 3rd animal 1st trine Yang, and Rooster 10th year 3rd animal 2nd trine Yin, The dog Appeared almost too late, He explained the water was too much of a temptation and that he took a bath before coming lost track of time a bit, He was suppose to be the best swimmer, Anyways he was awarded 11th year 3rd animal 3rd trine and is Yang. Just about when the emperor was about to call it a day he heard an oink come from the shore, The pig explained he had to eat before he left and stopped off at a feast, after a nap he continued the race and was awarded 12th place 3rd animal 4th trine Yin. The 1st trine is power animals, they make good leaders they can do a whole lot of good or bad. 2nd trine is the stubborn soulmates to conquer life through endurance, appliaction and slow accumalation of energy. The 3rd trine seeks a true love and like-minded with humanitarian causes. 4th trine is the calmest of all the animals They are Artistic and well-mannered and seek beauty and a sensitive lover. On top of your animal sign you have an element sign Either Wood, Water, Earth, Fire or Metal. Wood-Generous, Warm, Persuasive, Co-operative, Seeks to Expand and Grow Idealistic, Ethical, Enthusiastic, Seeks to Explore Fire-Dynamic, Humanitarian, Enterprising, Adventurous, Restless Competitive, Leadership Skills, Strong, Single-minded, Loves a good laugh Earth-Powerful, Patient, Militaristic, Prideful, Prudent, Stable, Reliable, Hard-working, Ambitious, Stubborn, very energetic, Seeks to Conquer Disciplined, Rigid, Controlling, Tenacious, Logical, Governed by Service and Duty to Others Metal-Determined, Self-reliant, Unyielding, Strong, Tenacious, Forceful Reserved, Needs Personal Space, Sophisticated, Seeks pleasure, caring, respectful. Water-Secretive, Self-destructive, Charming, Intuitive, Deceptive, Passive-Aggressive, Compassionate, Sensitive, Creative Flexible, Addictive, Manipulative, Compliant, Eloquence, Intellectual, Betrayal Elements react with eachother- Wood feeds Fire; Fire creates Earth (ash); Earth bears Metal; Metal collects Water Water nourishes Wood. Overcoming: wood parts earth; earth absorbs water; water quenches fire; fire melts metal metal chops wood . If you average all this (animal and Element) along with your Zodiac sign It can be Pretty accurate. But thats just my opinion.

Astrology was considered as a science at one time in the history. Everybody used to believe it. But the knowledge was lost in between and today's astrologers are not capable of predicting things they way it used to be. I do nto know Chinese astrology which eventually might have originated from vedic astrology. I heard and read about Vedic astrology. There were serious thoughts on this.

Not anymore. I used to believe in those stuff, until it controlled my life. It only gave me fear every coming month because of reading my monthly prediction. Until I read the Bible I finally got out from my miserable gullible state. Chinese astrology is based from the stars and planets with very complicated computation or formula, if this is the basis for predicting one's future then it is completely blows off the case because we are discovering new planet, pluto is not even a planet anymore, the universe is expanding, the light of the stars in the sky is not current, it probably went off several hundred years ago. It is written in the Bible that we must not rely our faith in the stars but only in our Mighty GOD our creator. Stars are use only for sign (ex. directions) but not to predict future events. Free yourself.
