What's difference between Chinese Five Element astrology and Chinese zodiacs?

Chinese Five Element astrology is required people’s birthday to predict the fortune. Chinese zodiacs just need the birth year to do the prediction. The birthday contains the birth year, month and day astrological information. Therefore, Chinese Five Element astrology is more accurate than Chinese zodiacs. But we don't know the animal zodiac name of the birth day without a Chinese Astrology calendar.

Why do we still need the Chinese zodiacs?

The fortunetellers still can do the prediction, if a person doesn't know the birthday. Sometimes, we know people's age, but not birthday. Then we can still study a person's personality without asking the birthday.

Chinese Zodiacs provide quick information for the relationship between two animal signs. This relationship can apply on the animals in any location of the birth chart. For example, 2018 is the year of the Dog. If your animal sign of the birth day is dragon, then you should read the relationship between the dragon and the dog. This is because the "year" zodiac sign is related to your appearance in public and the "day" zodiac sign is related to your internal personality.

What's your Chinese zodiac sign?

The Chinese zodiac sign is from the Chinese Astrology Stem-Branch Calendar. We can find our zodiac signs of Chinese astrology birth chart from the Stem-Branch calendar using our birthday. Your Chinese zodiac sign is one from the birth year. The Chinese Astrology Stem-Branch Calendar is a solar calendar. The first day of the astrological year is the day the sun enters the 315th degree on the tropical zodiac. This day is around February 4, each year. This day is not from Chinese Lunar Calendar. This day is nothing to do with the Chinese New Year Day. The Chinese New Year Day of 2018 is February 16, 2018, which is a new moon day.

The predictions of 2018 Chinese Zodiacs

The Chinese zodiac name of 2018 is Male Earth Dog. Brown is connected to the color for Earth. 2018 Chinese Brown Dog Year starts on February 4, 2018 in China’s time zone.

2018 is Male Earth Dog. Male Earth is connected to dry soil, wall, mound or mountains. The major five elements inside Dog is Male Earth too. The sign of 2018 Earth Dog is mountains over mountains. 2018 will be a very strong Earth. That implies the events related to land, real estate, county territory, agriculture, earthquake, mineral and the Earth will be more active than before. In Chinese astrology, Earth is also connected to stability, meditation and religion. Many people will be interested in spiritual or religious study.

The mountain of 2018 appearing in the front of us means something is blocking our view or our path. That's a sign of obstacle. We need to climb over it to see the other world. So we need to find a flat road around the mountains to find our way. Either way, we need to take extra effort to reach our destination. Therefore, 2018 is a challenge year for many people. We need to use our wisdom to find the better way to conquer the mountains. If you can do it, then you will be ahead of many others. If you cannot, then you will behind the world.

The mountains of 2018 are related to stability, slowness, stubborn, laziness and conservativeness. If you are too lazy and lack of the diligent spirit, then you will miss career or money opportunity. The Original Chinese Horoscope 12 Branches page explains where 12-branch signs come from using the life cycle of the plant. Dog Month is October. Fruits on the tree had ripened. If we don't pick and sell them right away, then they will be rotten very soon. That implies we need to complete our unfinished project quickly. Otherwise, our income source will disappear soon...
