The
Asian Zodiac, based on the lunar year cycle, is
shared by the Japanese, the
Chinese, and other people worldwide. Like the
Western Zodiac, the Asian Zodiac is
based in part on the idea that people born in the
same time period tend to share
certain personality traits. While, the Western
Zodiac assigns astrological signs
based on the month in which a person was born, the
Asian Zodiac assigns
astrological signs based on the year in which a
person was born. In the Asian Zodiac,
each year has a corresponding animal sign that
repeats in twelve-year cycles. The
lunar year typically begins in late January or early
February each year. In 2007,
February 18 will mark the beginning of the Year of
the Pig/Boar.
Various folktales explain why the zodiac signs, or
animals, are arranged in the order
they appear.
