Good link for beginners http://celestteal.bizland.com/

An introduction to the houses and angles http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/contents.html

Remember too that each hour that we are born is under a different sign, according to the Chinese astrology method, starting with midnight Aquarius/Tiger. I have seen this work. Example I was born at 8:30pm, the hour of the Dog/Libra. I would give off the appearance of a Libra, even though I was born the year of the Rooster/Virgo.

I also get along very well with those born in the hour of Leo/Monkey and Aries/Dragon, which fits my Sag/1st house and Venus in Aries, but I also like those born in the hour of Virgo/Rooster, and Capricorn/OX. I know many outspoken Tiger/Aqua year people who are Pisces or Virgo, and other aspects do not give a reason. For that reason I do trust this system and I encourage everyone to look closely at Chinese symbols.

Each animal is an element and that element that you are lacking is what you are attracted to. Lacking in water you are attracted to both water physically and water people in both western and chinese. The water represents mother, so your mother was not available. There is an animal for the day, month, year and hour of your birth and they add up.

I was born the year of the brown rooster/virgo, month of the green snake/taurus, day of the green horse/gemini, and hour of the green dog/libra. My elements are mainly feminine, and my missing element is water, my lucky colour is black, my favorite direction is north and I love the water.

When I looked at my ex's symbols he had the same elements, only the year was different.

I have read charts this way.
Take a look at http://www.chineseastrologyonline.com/
There are several good books out there too.

I'm an Aries Sun/Scorpio Rising
Day: Male Metal, White Tiger
Month: Male Metal, White Dragon
Year: Female Wood, Green Rabbit
Hour: Male Fire, Red Dog

Water is my lucky element as well, I've wanted to live next to the ocean for years. I find the lucky direction interesting ~ a feng shui book (by Lillian Too, I think) showed my lucky directions as Southwest for success, West for good relationships, Northwest for good health, and Northeast for learning. North is supposed to be one of my worst, I can't remember why that is though.

That link to Chinese astrology you gave - I've known for years I was born year of the Ox - it doesn't say that here... what's the difference in this site?

Thanks,

As a result of these differences, is the "compatibility" section accurate?

So you are an earth woman with an air ascendant, hmmm that combination is said to be very take charge, and discriminating. Very true.

Yes, I've always been a night person. Even as a child.

I'll go back into the site and give it another look.

Thanks -

I tend to like roosters as well ~ my sun is in the Sixth house too, I keep meaning to post something in one of your threads.

I used to love being up all night, especially when drawing or painting. Over the last few years I've needed to be out in the sun and fresh air more, but there are times when I still love it.

I am like an instrument always on, vocalizing opinions but they about feelings, empathy that kind of thing.

I'm very domineering emotionally in some ways, and now as I get older I am more vocal. That's my real self, my first house. I feel I need to move more towards the Sag now, but my motivations are Scorpio/12th.

Thanks, yes I like Roosters too
They are kind of physical.

I am seeing a Rabbit now, my opposite, very hard to read but sensitive which suits my Neptunian nature. Time will tell if I can handle him.
