The Chinese zodiac is different from the conventional zodiac. It is known as ‘shengxiao’ in Mandarin, which translates to ‘born bearing resemblance to’. The Chinese zodiac is a collection of animal signs that repeat every twelve years. Besides this, the astrological predictions are also based on the five elements of nature – earth, fire, water, wood, and gold. People born in a specific year are believed to exhibit traits of the animal and the element that stands for that year.
This year, the Chinese New Year falls on 16th February and ends on February 4, 2019. As per the Chinese zodiac, this is the year of ‘Dog and earth’.
