With the Chinese New Year starting today through February 19th, some people may be unfamiliar with the animals used. There are actually twelve Chinese zodiac animals that are used to represent the years for more than 2,000 years now. The zodiac signs are an important part of Chinese culture because they “can be used to determine your fortune for the year, marriage compatibility, career fit, best times to have a baby, and so much more.”
For 2019, it’s the year of the Pig! We also thought this would be a great opportunity to discuss the zodiacs of two other animals, with the Year of the Horse most recently in 2014 and the Year of the Rooster in 2017.
