Hi everyone,
I have been looking into Chinese astrology as another one of my interests. Can you ever get enough of astrology? I'd like to use my own data as an example to clarify.
My stats: July 23, 1976, Time: 1:26pm
Fire Dragon (element and YEAR ANIMAL)
Goat (month animal, aka INNER ANIMAL)
Goat (6th lunar month - see below)
Goat (time of birth, aka SECRET ANIMAL)
To get your year (including your element), inner, and secret animal go to:

If your not sure of your lunar month go here

LUNAR MONTHS
1st - Tiger
2nd - Rabbit
3rd - Dragon
4th - Snake
5th - Horse
6th - Goat
7th - Monkey
8th - Rooster
9th - Dog
10th - Pig
11th - Rat
12th - Ox
Okay, so let's break all of this down:
The ELEMENTS are Water (Mercury), Metal (Venus), Fire (Mars), Wood (Jupiter), Earth (Saturn).
The YEAR ANIMAL is what others perceive you to be.
The INNER ANIMAL is assigned by the month of birth. This dictates your love life and inner persona and is critical to a proper understanding of your compatibility with other signs. It may be considered what the individual wishes to become, or believes to be their true self. Your LUNAR MONTH also affects your inner animal.
The SECRET ANIMAL is determined by exact time of birth and is your own true sign which your personality is based on. It is important to compensate for daylight savings or any clock adjustment performed by your country, as it is mapped according to the sun's location and not the local time.

So I guess upon review of this, people perceive me to be assertive/aggressive on the outer appearance since I'm a Fire (Mars) Dragon (Aries). However, my true self (inner animal) is a sheep (equated with Cancer) and doubly influenced as my lunar month is also in the same sign (Cancer once again). So my compatibility is better off with other water signs according to this. Interestingly, yet again my secret animal (time of birth) is in the sign of the sheep (yikes triple Cancer). Wow, does this mean passive-aggressive tendencies or what? lol
Well this was fun for me. I got lots of this information from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_astrology and www.chineseastrologyonline.com. If you want a free "zi wei dou shi" chart I found online (although not comprehensive in it's interpretation) you can check out www.purpleking.com or the Wikipedia link has some links at the bottom of the page you can check out (however no interpretation). I've had my chart done once before professionally and it's surprisingly accurate. Enjoy!
