How accurate are Chinese horoscopes?

Just like to know... For example sheep/boar compatibility etc?

I'm not sure,, but maybe there is a correlation between sidereal astrology and the Chinese horoscope,ie I would be a Capri (sea goat) in sidereal, born in year of the goat (Chinese) and an Aquarius (or water bearer) by typical western astrology....its probably just coincidence—

very very very very!

believe me they reveal a very specific aspect that I feel coveres mental and more deeper soulful dimensions that the western horoscopes which are more about personality, outer personality

i feel the chinese horoscopes are more linked to eastern philosophy where it's more about karmic tendencies, past lives and future lives and karmic imprints that we carry in our minds

sorry to go too much into this but I'm a buddhist and I understand chinese astrology at its own level and I feel it touches on a very progressive tone in terms of life experience, than just the here and now and passing

it's been very spot on for me over the years and helped expalin things and people where horosopes had fallen short, like completing the picture when western astrology may have reached some limits

what's your chinese sign ?

xoxoxoxox

I'm a Boar I'm evil. >D

Ive no idea what my chinese starsign is!
I was born on Dec 22nd (Capricorn)

Strange to say that in our western astrology, eveyone concurs that aquarians and virgos are a no no! However when I delve into chinese horoscopes and discover I am the Fire Horse and he is the Wood tiger......we are supposed to get along fabulously!!! Who do I believe:-)................—?? when he is a bold virgo boy..so true that wesern astoplogy....when he is a good virgo boy....oh so true that chinese astrology:-) - So as you can see, I am a walking contradiction!!!!!minds are for changing...:-) That australian astrrology guy Milton does a real good take on chinese signs...check him out:-)
PS I have to say I love rabbits...and snakes:-)

@dogsbody

u need a year 🙂

The chinese zodiac is very accurate, and also tend to relate more to the longevity of a relationship, than the initiation of one. (That's where western astrology comes into play)

I picked up a good book called the new astrology by suzanne white years ago where it combines asian and western astrology. I never found a book that has been so close to pinpoint my exact personality to date.

You can probably find an almost full copy on google books if you want to take a look at it. Remember that not all of the book has been filled.

Just found out that I am a monkey! 😄

I have some doubt about Chinese horoscopes, How can ALL people born in a year have the same "traits".?? Maybe we need to mix both western astrology with chinese astrology ! lol

I find the chinese signs to be fairly accurate but when it comes to the compatability stuff I'm always attracted to the ones I'm not supposed to be.

I never have a problem with roosters or rats for example. I find them quite attractive and I don't think they're overly critical and blunt. I think they're honest. As a rabbit, some of the signs I'm meant to like are, for like of a better term, pansies.

"How can ALL people born in a year have the same "traits".??"

You do realise that judging people by their year animal/element is exactly like assuming everyone born under the same sun sign in the western zodiac has the exact same personality, right? There are 'four pillars' in Chinese astrology - an animal and element each for your year, month, day, and hour of birth. It's actually supposedly the 'day' animal that truly represents you rather than the 'year' animal. So although I'm born in the year of the Fire Tiger, I'm actually a Water Snake because of my date of birth.

edumacate yourselfs! ;P

if the day I was born is a rooster day then I am a Virgo somehow. whaaaaat?

Well I am year of the Rat (wood rat to be precise), and I have always been drawn to and get along well with Monkeys & Dragons - my 2 best matches according to chinese astrology 🙂 I dunno how accurate it is, but I do find that interesting...

Then again, my mum is a horse and they are supposed to be the rat's enemy. Which is not so accurate, considering as we are extremely close friends in addition to being mother & daughter...

You need to be careful here. The day you were born does not determine what Chinese sign you are. The year you were born does. If you are a virgo than you are a virgo, but pending on the year you were born you can be a virgo tiger, hours, pig etc. There are many virgos of different personalities. Chinese astrology helps us understand why some virgos act the way they do.

Look at it this way. The Chinese sun sign is the general characteristic of a generation born in one year. These are general traits. Western sun signs are monthly traits. So if you are a born in Septemeber 1980 than you are a monkey with a virgo accent.
