Chinese zodiac signs are different animal signs for each year. Many people believe it is possible to tell a person's personality based on his or her zodiac signs.
For example:
Rats are people born in 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 …. They are believed to be generous, charming, and creative. The suitable jobs for them are writers and critics.
Oxen or Bulls are people born in 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 …. These people are mentally alert, strong leaders, and good with their hands. Among the professions, they make good surgeons and hairdressers.
Monkeys are people born in 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004 …. These people are clever, skillful, and flexible. As for professions, they make good scientists and bankers.
Roosters are people born in 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005…. Roosters are described as deep thinkers, independent, and adventurous. They can make good restaurant owners and actors.
The Chinese zodiac is used in countries that historically have had a lot of cultural exchange with China, such as Viet Nam, Japan, and Korea. Most Western cultures use the Greek Zodiac, not the Chinese Zodiac. Nevertheless, the Chinese zodiac and the Greek zodiac have a lot of similar points. For example, they both use animals as symbols.
