This is the Year of the Rat. No, rats are not going to be invading every cubby hole and cabinet in your home. The Rat is a Chinese zodiac sign. Chinese horoscopes are endlessly fascinating and sometimes confusing. But as a student of astrology, you must know how the Jade King brought together the twelve animals and assigned them a position in the Chinese zodiac. You should know the history, as well as how the Chinese zodiac works because even the best astrology students could stand to learn more about other zodiacs.

The Chinese horoscopes can be a bit confusing. The entire twelve year cycle is based in science and math. In the Western horoscopes, each month has a new zodiac sign. In the Chinese horoscope, each year is a new zodiac sign. To further the confusion, each Chinese zodiac sign is also given an element.

Each Chinese zodiac sign occurs once in a rotation of twelve years. So that means, by the time an individual sign, say for example the Rat, is through its entire elemental cycle it has reached sixty years. Then the cycle starts over again in a never ending pattern of the Great Solar Cycle. It can be very confusing, so do not worry overly about it. Most people only want to know the best astrology sign for their work day or their romantic interest.
