There are many stories in the world about how zodiac symbols came to be. But if you want to know the story behind the Chinese zodiac symbols, then you have to know the story of the Jade King and how he sent out a proclamation for twelve animals to be representatives of the Earth. It is a story of a rat, ox, tiger, dragon, rabbit, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and a pig, and how they came to represent the Chinese Zodiac. There should have been a cat instead of a pig but that rascal of a rat did not invite the poor cat.

How the Chinese zodiac symbols came to be is a great story and lends an air of storytelling to this branch of astrology. A Chinese zodiac sign is assigned according to the year of your birth. Take for example that this is the Year of the Rat. People born in this year and twelve years ago are considered to be under this Chinese zodiac sign. Each sign occurs once every twelve years.

One aspect of the Chinese zodiac that people do take seriously is the compatible zodiac signs to their own sign. Sometimes, the Chinese zodiac sign compatibility factor plays a major role in personal relationships, because with zodiac signs, there are different personality characteristics that are said to represent the person’s true self. Whether or not this is true and should be believed is for you to decide. Sometimes the Chinese zodiac sign is accurate and people really base their worldly decisions on whatever the prediction is for that day, month or year.
