Introduction to Chinese Astrology
Chinese astrology, a fascinating 5,000-year-old art, revolves around the lunar calendar. Similar to other astrological systems, it involves creating horoscopes based on the star and planet positions for each of the twelve zodiac signs, determined by one's birth year.
