In Chinese astrology, your zodiac sign depends on the year you were born, and every 12 years, the cycle begins again from the Year of the Rat all the way to the Year of the Pig.
Every zodiac year is marked by its unique flavor and traditions depending on its ruling sign, which represents specific traits and characteristics with some zodiac years culturally recognized as more powerful than the rest.
