Chinese Horoscope stresses the character of the individual. By knowing one's own character, one can choose to work to overcome weaknesses and build on strengths.

While we all are individuals, it is believed that there are similarities among those born in a given year. The Chinese zodiac has twelve animal signs. Each year is associated with an animal, and each year is part of a greater cycle.

Here's all you have to do:
1. Select the animal associated with your birth year in the following table. (If you were born in January or February, please check the specific dates in the animal section. The Chinese New Year is not the same as the Gregorian New Year!)
2. Read the information associated with the animal. Also read the information about the Sixty Year Cycle and about your Chinese Hour of Birth.
3. Remember that we all have some strengths and some weaknesses. We have the power to make ourselves better!
4. Enjoy your visit!

Select the horoscope animal for your birth year. Note: Western astrology influences are given for each sign.

Curious why these particular animals were chosen? Tommye, Tao of Meow folklorist, tells all! See also legends of Spring Festival and Nian for legends about the Chinese New Year.

Who is Dwnn, you ask? My littermate, Taliesin, and I are better known as The Wicked Twins who established The Tao of Meow, a feline virtual ashram. As a public service, I have taken time away from lecturing on Confucius to provide you with a Chinese Horoscope reading based on my extensive studies made while sleeping on a stack of books.

From time to time I'll be adding other topics relating to Chinese Horoscope Studies. I don't actually do the adding, since my paws don't fit the keyboard. I make my human do the adding while I look out the window at birds.

We hope that you find these pages interesting and enjoyable. We welcome your comments. Guestbook by
