About Elements in Chinese Astrology

Astrology's naysayers are often silenced when reminded that this age-old art is based on math and science. Such is certainly the case where the Chinese Elements are concerned.

Ancient Chinese astrologers favored a 60-year cycle, a tendency common to both Eastern and Western astrology. In this cycle, each 60-year span is a third of the "Great Solar Cycle" of 180 years. It is also equivalent to the number of years it takes to assign each of the five Chinese Elements to one of the twelve animal signs (5 x 12 = 60).

As such, the Chinese Elements add an extra layer of meaning to each of the animal signs. Whether it's reinforcing a stern disposition or mellowing a happy-go-lucky mood, the Elements of Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth serve to put our basic "animal" characteristics in a sharper light.

Coming Next Year : Year of the Dog

Dogs are incredibly loyal, honest and dedicated. They speak up when there is something wrong, and defend their family and home.

Dogs can be playful at times but are often serious and alert for trouble. If they're tired and cranky, they can be quite sharp. Dogs tend to worry about issues and can often be jealous or concerned for no reason. They are quite loyal but are never quite sure if the person they're with is being loyal, and this irrational fear can cause many problems.
