Both the East and West Zodiacs have 12 signs, but they are distinct signs. The Western Zodiac is centered on the constellations' star signs. The Eastern Zodiac was inspired by a legend in which twelve species were challenged to compete in a contest. Fire, Earth, Water, and Air are the four components that refer to the signs of the Western Zodiac. Fire, Earth, Water, Metal, and Wood are the five components that refer to the signs of the Eastern Zodiac. The Western Zodiac starts with the sign of Aries, which marks the start of the Spring Equinox. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. The Eastern Zodiac starts with the first winner of the race: the Rat. It all comes to a close with the Pig, who came in last. Your Sun sign is defined by the month you were born in Western Astrology. The year you were born determines your sign of Eastern Astrology (find out your Chinese Zodiac sign here). The Western Zodiac is ruled by the Solar (Sun) Calendar, with the first sign of the year starting at the Spring Equinox. Winter has come to an end, and spring has begun. Meanwhile, the Eastern Zodiac is ruled by the Lunar (Moon) Calendar, which starts the year with the Chinese New Year, which is often the second New Moon after the winter solstice. So, what is the relationship between each Chinese Zodiac sign and the Western Zodiac sign? It has a lot to do with Jupiter. Jupiter travels around the Western Zodiac in twelve years, spending almost a year in each sign. It spends the Year of the Ox in Capricorn, the Year of the Snake in Taurus, the Year of the Rat in Sagittarius, and so on, as a general law.
