Questions about the Chinese horoscope
How is the Chinese daily horoscope different from the Western one?
The Western horoscope reads your sun sign, set by the date within the year you were born. The Chinese one reads your animal, set by the year within a twelve-year cycle. They describe different things and can be read side by side.
Which Chinese zodiac animal am I?
Your animal comes from the year you were born, with the boundary at the lunar new year rather than 1 January. Anyone born in January or early February belongs to the previous animal.
How often is the Chinese horoscope updated?
Today and tomorrow are written a day ahead, the weekly before Monday, the monthly before the first, and each year page once for its year.
