Chinese zodiac signs and their elements
In Chinese astrology, the zodiac sign does not change every month but every year.Here, not only the birthday is relevant, as in Western astrology, but also the birth year.
There are 12 zodiac signs, and these repeat every 12 years, so a zodiac sign remains the same for a Chinese year.
The zodiac signs are associated with different elements.
However, the elements of the Chinese zodiac signs do not change annually, as one might think, but only every 2 years.
