Chinese Zodiac and Astrology
What's your Chinese Zodiac / birth year?
There are a logs of legends flying around as to how the Chinese Zodiac came to be. The story I learnt was that the Jade Emperor wanted a way to measure time. On one of his birthdays he decided to name a year for the first twelve animals in a local race held for him. Of course, there is a lot more to this story that is more interesting. I'm not sure where I found this list, but for now, take a look over this list and find the year you were born.
