Personality, keywords, strengths and weaknesses reflect widely known folklore of the Chinese zodiac, not fortune claims. The fixed element and yin/yang are the standard correspondences of the earthly branch (distinct from each year's element). Years are derived from the 12-year cycle. Compatibility (trine, six harmony, clash) follows traditional Chinese astrology groupings. About our data
