Once again, a new year is approaching. According to the Chinese Zodiac Calendar, the year is 4703 instead of 2005 and is the Year of the Rooster. Chinese and Far Eastern people have a zodiac similar to those of the West. However, unlike that of the West, the Eastern system has a cycle of twelve years instead of twelve months. Each year of the cycle has it's own particular animal-symbol with meaning, origin and influence stretching back to ancient India and China. Many Chinese believe that the year of your birth will determine your personality traits, physical and mental attributes and the degree of success and happiness in your life. Find out about your zodiac sign the Eastern way by finding the year of your birth among the twelve animals: rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and boar.
