Chinese Astrology Signs: The Five Elements and The Animal Zodiac

Of the a wide range of astrological superstitions that we have today, a standout amongst the most well known forms is the confidence in Chinese astrology signs. This is maybe one of the most established existing convictions today, going back to the extent the Shang line. The Chinese astrology depends on "calendrical" cycles, which is somewhat different from that of the Western and Indian astrology signs. 

The Chinese astrology signs that we realize today shows up in two forms. The first is the one dependent on the five components or the "Wu Xing" of the Chinese logic. These five components comprise of different natural substances that are related with the five major planets in our nearby planetary group. These components are Wood, spoken to by the planet Jupiter; Water, spoken to by Mercury; Earth, spoken to by Saturn; Fire spoken to by Mars, and Metal or Gold, spoken to by Venus. According to the old oriental reasoning, the fate of an individual can be resolved according to the places of these major planets amid the season of that individual's birth, and related to the moon, sun and comets' situations also.
