The Chinese Zodiac is made up of a 12 year cycle. Each of the 12 years is represented by a different animal. Many Chinese believe that the year of a person's birth can determine personality traits. And that those traits are compatible and incompatible with others. This page focuses on just the compatibility, not the personality traits.
