Do You Know Your Baby’s Chinese Zodiac Sign? Read About The Personality Of Babies Born In Each Of The Signs.

Most people know their star sign, but are you aware of the Chinese zodiac sign you were born in?

In western astrology of course, the signs change roughly at monhly intervals, but each year in the Chinese calendar year in the Chinese zodiac lasts for about a year.

The Chinese zodiac signs are all named after animals. Legend has it that as Buddha was about to depart this world he called all the animals together to say farewell. Only 12 turned up so, to show his appreciation of their loyalty, he promised that from that day on each year would be named after one of them.

Chinese astrology is based on the lunar calendar and the beginning and end of each year does not fall on the same day each year. Chinese new years fall any time from late January to early February; the actual date can vary by up to 3 weeks. So for babies born at this time of year it is necessary to consult the charts to see which Chinese year he or she was born in.

In much the same way that each of the western zodiac signs have their own character traits, people born during Chinese years also share certain aspects of their personality.

The current Chinese year is the year of the Rat which runs until January 25th 2009.
