Chinese Zodiac Signs Calendar

Chinese astrology is an ancient discipline for interpreting and analysing human behaviour. It is an ancient oriental art to analyse personalities, but also to predict the future, which the East has been using for many centuries. Astrology, like psychology, meditation and yoga is a way to discover who we are and to be happier in ourselves.

The traditional Chinese calendar has the particularity of numbering the months and naming the years, unlike our Gregorian calendar which names the months and numbers the years. The passage of time is fundamentally cyclical depending on the observation of the stars, astrologers use the solar calendar for this.
