Western Zodiac Equivalent ..

...to the Chinese Zodiac Signs.

Chinese Astrology has its own Zodiac symbols as does Western Astrology. Oftentimes it is very difficult for one to decipher and understand how the zodiac sybmols of Chinese and Western Astrology relate to each other. In the Chinese Zodiac, there are 12 animal signs. These 12 signs are, in order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each one of these Chinese Zodiac signs embody their own personality.

For example, the Rat in Chinese Astrology, is known to be mentally sharp and always on the go. Rats are known to be the creative type who tend to think outside the box. If there is any protest, movement, or party, Rats are often in the middle of things since people tend to be drawn to the charming nature of the Rat. They also tend to think well on their feet. For all the positives of the Rat, their negatives are that they can be too impulsive and not patient enough with others who need more time to digest situations or who are more rational. So it is easy to be a friend of the Rat, but it is considerably more difficult to be a Rat's close friend.

So the Rat in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Sagittarius in the Western Zodiac.

The Ox in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Capricorn in the Western Zodiac.

The Tiger in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Aquarius in the Western Zodiac.

The Rabbit in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Pisces in the Western Zodiac.

The Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Aries in the Western Zodiac.

The Snake in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Taurus in the Western Zodiac.

The Horse in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Gemini in the Western Zodiac.

The Sheep in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Cancer in the Western Zodiac.

The Monkey in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Leo in the Western Zodiac.

The Rooster in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Virgo in the Western Zodiac.

The Dog in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Libra in the Western Zodiac.

Finally, the Pig in the Chinese Zodiac is akin to the Scorpio in the Western Zodiac.

Pigs are quite intelligent and clean animals actually. They never sleep or eat where they butter and they are smarter than dogs. They are also used to hunt specific items such as truffles. Its always the thought of the disgusting fat farm pig eating garbage that we get when we think of the pig. Sometimes the word Pig is also switched with the usage of Boar in asian zodiac. Im sure you can handle being a boar? At least they eat from the woods and have tusks for defense. Quite tough animals, even better quality meat. A pig can have an extended orgasm for 30 minutes too.

Yes, Ox & Capricorn seem to be mirror images of each other, especially when it comes to the work ethic.

Why are the Chinese Astrology correlations related to Western Astrology? In other words would for instance a libra/ox and a libra/rabbit be compatible. Libra and Libra are compatible - ox and rabbit are somewhat compatible - so in a broader sense would capricorn and pisces correlations be worth exploring?
