Why Should You Learn the Basics of
Chinese Love Horoscope?

You may not realize, but learning about the Chinese love horoscope gives you a fascinating topic to discuss with your partner.

Psychologists noted for a long time our tendency to establish lasting relationships with those like us. Relationship compatibility is always a hot topic - it can help you open a conversation with a woman anywhere.

Every woman is familiar with the Western (solar) zodiac, but when it comes with the Chinese one, many haven't even heard of it, but would be thrilled to.

Unlike the Western zodiac version, Chinese astrology doesn't calculate the positions of sun, moon and planets at the time of birth. Your Chinese horoscope shows your prevailing personality and character traits based on your birth day, birth 'season' and birth hour.

Chinese love horoscope may seem complicated if you learned the occidental horoscope system (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc.) first, but it's actually not. In fact, it is pretty simple. Each of the 12 signs in the oriental zodiac represents a specific animal depending on your birth year.

Here's the list of the 12 Chinese love horoscope signs with their corresponding birth years and their main characteristics:

1. The Rat - 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948, 1936

The Rat can be false, manipulative, selfish and obstinate.

2. The Ox - 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949, 1937
