Legends of the Chinese Zodiac Signs

The Chinese Astrology Signs are based on a Lunar year not a Solar Year. The Chinese Zodiac Signs are like the Western Horoscope Signs in that there are twelve of them. Chinese Astrology Signs are based on the year that you were born rather than the day of your birth. Each of the twelve Chinese Zodiac Signs is represented by a particular animal. 

Many years ago, according to an Ancient Chinese legend, Buddha decided to choose animals as the signs of 12 year cycle. He summoned all the animals to be present at a meeting next morning and he would secretly select the first 12 animals arriving to be the signs of a year respectively.

They came in this order: (click on each of the animal to read more about their characteristics)
