How does the Chinese horoscope work?
In Chinese Astrology there are 12 zodiac signs and instead of being represented by constellations, the zodiac signs are represented by 12 animals. The animals in their corresponding order are as follows: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. These 12 animals mark periods of 12 years, so depending on the year you were born you will be characterized by one animal or another.
At the same time, according to Chinese astrology, the 12 signs are ruled by the five elements: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood. These elements are said to be the essence that makes up the universe. Each Chinese zodiac sign combined with the five elements produce a 60-year cycle: for example, a Wood Goat repeats itself once every 60 years.

The I Ching is an ancient oracle based on Taoism. It is performed with coins or sticks, to form a hexagram that has a meaning. The Hexagram is composed of two elements (fire, air, water… etc.) and its interpretation depends on the combination. Sometimes (not always) if it is mobile, you get a second hexagram that speaks of the future. The perfect service to do in times of change as during the Chinese New Year.
