anything else?

so i'm new to chinese astrology.
so far i know that there are elements and signs based on what year you were born in.
is there anything else that needs to be considered.

like in western astrology you have
moon, sun, saturn, jupiter, mars, etc

does chinese have more than these two things?

Yes, an awful lot more: get at least one of the books I have mentioned in my posts to the "5 Elements" thread in the Chinese astrology forum (a real good one is the "Chinese Astrology Bible" I listed there)

Nooooooooooo
I wanted this to be easy
LoL

Sorry, not even Mahabote astrology is easy! But that doesn't mean it can't be fun! And to ever really be "good" at any approach to astrology, its GOT to be fun for you!
