In the Chinese Zodiac System, we do not need to know the date or month of our birthday. If we just know the year we are born in, we are good to go to explore the world of Chinese Astrology with open hearts.
Rat
Rat represents wisdom
The Rat is the first Zodiac Sign in Chinese Astrology. The Rat is known to be very quick-witted, swift in action, smart, and even persuasive. As these are some strengths of the Rat, there are weaknesses too. Rat is quick to anger, stubborn, and somebody who likes to gossip a lot.
Ox
The ox represents someone patient and conservative.
They do not like to explore new things or things out of their comfort zone. They are hardworking but a little narrow-minded. They are creative but a bit prejudiced. People deem them as lethargic and somebody who is not good at communication.

The Tiger in Chinese Astrology represents an authoritarian figure, courageous, and confident.
Tiger is a very majestic animal in the animal kingdom. With indomitable fortitude, they turn impossible into possible. Although they can be a little emotional and arrogant. They are also very impetuous.

Rabbit signifies gentleness and compassion.
Rabbit is the bearer of good luck, intelligent, and highly creative. However, these people can be easily duped, are prone to overthinking, and become the worst critics of themselves.
Dragon
The dragon is a symbol of the Chinese Nation.
In fairy tales, we have seen Dragon being cold and warm at the same time. Dragon Zodiac Sign is someone fearless, intriguing, and warm-hearted. However, they can be tactless and overconfident too. Most of these people become entrepreneurs in their lives.
Snake
Snake is a gregarious animal who is very sensitive to sensory stimulations of its surroundings.
The Snake in Chinese Astrology is introverted, smart, and agile. A lot of people who fall under this Zodiac are very attractive physically. However, they are prone to be greedy at times and can go to the extent of belittling others.
Horse
This sign is the most independent out of all others.
The Horse enjoys traveling. These people are energetic and active, popular, and have odd fashion choices. But sometimes they can be very arrogant. They possess an intelligence that is not of an intellectual type. They have a very strong emotional intelligence which makes them relatable and approachable to others.
Sheep
The Sheep people are shy and peace-loving.
They do not like confrontation. They are imaginative and the dreamers of Chinese Zodiacs. However, they can be pessimistic to a point of no return. When things get rough, they turn their head from reality towards their imaginative world.
Monkey
They are cheerful and represent flexibility.
This is the Ninth Chinese Zodiac Sign. These people are very loyal and like to be the initiators of change. They are also charismatic but can be restless and are irritable easily.
Rooster
The rooster represents punctuality and fidelity.
Just like a Rooster wakes up people on time by its call, these people are known to be very punctual in their routine. A Rooster is very observant and attentive. They are extremely loyal, hardworking, and even gunny. Sometimes, they can be prone to aggression if provoked incessantly.
Dog
The people born in the year of the Dog of Chinese Astrology have the best traits of human nature.
I say this because they are extremely patient, giving, and loyal. Just like Dogs, they are self-righteous in their personality and straightforward with an intact moral code. But to others, they may seem cold. But when you get to know them, you will be pleasantly surprised by how warm and gentle they can be.
Pig
This twelfth zodiac sign represents the carefree spirit of a child.
People born in the year of the Pig are loving, honest, and tolerant of others than people generally are. Most of them go through proper education and like to do something that serves humanity. On the negative side, they can be very critical and self-indulgent.
