I'm interested in learning more about Chinese astrology. I'd like accurate information, though; what are some good websites to learn more about the subject? Same with Yin and Yang.

I'm pretty sure I'm a water Rooster, but I don't know if I'm Yin or Yang. Can you tell me? My birthday is January 26th, 1994.

You're Yin. That doesn't change on your birthdate, it is based on what sign you are. it's the same concept as in western astrology with the Feminine(Yin) Vs. Masculine(Yang) signs. In chinese astro, your fellow trine animals are the same Yin or Yang as you but your true soulmate and twin soul sign are of the opposite Yin/Yang as you.

For example, I am a Snake. That's Yin.
My twin soul sign is the Dragon. They're Yang. (most of my best friends)
My soulmate sign is the Monkey. They're Yang. (The sign the other half of my best friends are, plus most of my crushes, and my boyfriend. Other boyfriend was a Rooster).

Those two signs are compatible with me, but are supposed to bring me into balance since they are Yang while I am Yin. I am not really compatible with the rest of the Yang signs though. Only those two. My trine signs, Ox and Rooster are also Yin. So they are compatible with me but a lot like me. They don't bring me into balance. The chinese believe that Yin needs Yang and vice versa. So you'd be better off finding that chinese sign that brings what you need to balance you out rather than one who is just like you (trine).

so i've got a question....and it may be a ridiculous silly one....do the chinese signs change after the chinese new year, or do they follow the other calender?

See i'm in the second decan of aquarius so my birthday happens before the chinese new year. Would that then make me count as the year before the one i'm actually born in (according to the western calender) or the year that i'm born in, even though the new year is after my birthday?? I feel like it's the same as cusps, both have attributes that I identify with.

^ you are the animal of the year that has not passed yet according to the Chinese calendar.

I know what you mean though... I thought/felt for years that I was a rat (3rd decan Capricorn) adding confusion of not knowing how the new year changes differently, and some really shoddy calendar wheels explaining things too simply... 84 = rat, they'd say... well, of course, I *thought* I too, was rat sign... lol

not until later did I accept my sign as boar... and, I still collect rat objects... (I just like the buggers!) haha

I think this is because most of my friends/classmates are/were rats and dogs... I have a strong bond with those signs, "I get them"... ^^; (not that I don't "get" my fellow boars too though)

boar is always knocked by descriptions that insist they are gullible, and severely vulnerable. Even though they're said to relate best to Scorpios, they're given descriptions that would have you think they are negatively influenced Pisceans. :/

Especially, when you read from Western standpoint, where we view them as helpless little piggies (bacon)... lol

But, when you delve into things more you find out it is a cultural thing... boars are extremely fortunate (well liked) and unfortunate by the Chinese. Japanese/Tibetans give them a good deal more credit, I've found. I dislike using the term "pig" (for many reasons, not the least, the obvious connotations drawn from Western minds.... slovenly, boarish, fat)... ugh

Boars are fierce in many other cultures though, symbols of warriors, in Greece and India. Anyone who has seen that TV show on wild pig hunters in the USA have seen how dangerous it is to fight a wild boar, especially the mothers. >.<;

In China boars born around the time of the new year are considered /not/ as lucky as those born during other times of the year... because these boars are associated with the feast... they will live blessed lives, and be "fattened" up, by "friends" just so they can be feasted upon /later/ in life. >.<;;;

I've grown into the sign more, and recognizing it as only one part of me under Eastern astrological charting... has helped a great deal! I find I relate greatly to all 4 of my pillar beasts, (conception/life as well). Definitely a boar mother~ lol

Living among rats and dogs, their influence has surely rubbed off on me too though, no doubt... but, I no longer /think or feel/ in anyway, shape, or form, that I am rat sign... haha

anyway! lol sorry~ <3 ^^

..::The Male Rat In Bed::..

The male of the Rat persuasion is not shy when it comes to making sexual advances -- you are in most cases the instigator of the affair, and the riskier the better, because you just can't get excited over anything safe and secure. You prefer your assignations and intrigues to be conducted in a romantic locale, safe from prying eyes and potential informers.

You have the potential to provide night after night of hot, passionate jungle love. Once hooked, you tend to remain faithful -- even if you stray from time to time you'll wrack yourself with guilt, but your heart will remain committed. It's obvious that you're not the marrying kind, as your constant need for variety will defeat all but the most exceptional partner.

..::The Male Rat's Love Behavior::..

Stingy as he is, the Rat man is quite lavish when he loves. The women who have found their way to his heart can expect him to pay liberally for their jewels, dresses, furs, entertainment, travels to foreign countries and a myriad other whims. There is no secret to this generosity of his: Sentimentally insecure, he offers his women all he has, namely, money, with a view to keeping them. While he hardly ever loses his fortune in a bad business deal, he may lose it in an unfortunate love affair. Where matters of the heart are concerned, he usually forgoes his habitual perspicacity and lays himself open to exploitation by unscrupulous women who would not hesitate to fleece this willing victim.

The Rat male has a definite preference for the gentle, docile and somewhat capricious type of women — those who show dependence and immaturity and who willingly look up at their man as a protector and provider. Not overly jealous, he may sometimes incite them to flirt with other men, but on the tacit condition that they recognize his superiority over his rivals. He himself enjoys some sexual diversity and is not likely to be faithful to only one woman at a time.

..::The Male Rat's Personality::..

The Rat male is a hustler. You thrive upon your high-pressure, high-visibility job and use it to score further opportunities for personal enrichment. You have an eye for the finer things in life, and will attempt to impress newfound acquaintances with your savoir-faire and the size of your bankroll. You enjoy gambling, but are essentially cautious and will not go so far as to jeopardize that nest egg you're salting away for your golden years.

You have a wide range of contacts, mostly in the business world, but very few true friends that you can count on when the chips are down. You have an ear for gossip and enjoy nothing better than a nice juicy rumor, especially when you can use it to your own advantage. You can be very sentimental at times, primarily with regard to your family.

..::The Male Rat's Physical Background::..

Rats as a kind of animal may inspire disgust and fear to many of us. On the contrary, people born under the Rat sign of Chinese astrology are generally noted for their physical attractiveness and charm; more often than not, their outward appearance constitutes one of their best assets in life.

The Rat male has a relatively small head, with something that vaguely recalls the head of a rodent. Most noticeable are his high cheekbones, his elongated and somewhat hollow cheeks, his large ears and his pointed chin. One can hardly ever read this man's emotions or anger on his face which is always radiant with his extremely lively eyes and his ever-ready smile. Most Rat men wear an abundant mustache, which gives them an air of distinction and also of good-naturedness.

..:::The Male Rat's Productive Capacities::..

Meticulous and maniacal, the Rat male can do well in all professions where it is necessary to count, verify, sort out, or simply to be dependable. He makes an excellent accountant, comptroller, inspector, librarian, archivist or druggist - provided he be allowed to work at his own pace. His insatiable curiosity often leads him into a research career. Methodical and conscientious, he is noted for his efficiency, but generally lacks imagination, inventiveness and the sense of adventure. This is quite understandable with an individual like this man whose main concern in life is to search for security, material as well as emotional. Although many-sided and adaptable to any kind of work, he is more intellectual than manual. And as far as possible he chooses jobs that allow him to be always on the move - as a journalist, travel agent or commercial representative, for instance.

..::The Male Rat's Psychological Makeup::..

To the casual observer, the true Rat male is by no means easy to understand, his personality being a bundle of intricacies and flagrant contradictions.

A fanatic partygoer and clubman, he is always welcome in social gatherings, of which he is generally the life and soul. Soft-spoken, courteous, tactful, keenly interested in what people have to say but at the same time never at a loss for words, he perfectly knows the art of making people feel at ease and inclining them to trust him with their secrets. His reputation as an excellent conversationalist is rarely belied. He also knows how to tell the most unpleasant truths without offending, thereby avoiding to antagonize those with whom he has to deal; his sugar-coated talk helps him get out of all delicate or embarrassing situations. On the infrequent occasions when he deliberately wants to catch his interlocutors off their guard, he has enough mental sharpness and glibness to do so; his ability to shock is unequaled. Whatever the subject under discussion, he is always able to come up with a clever answer or startling, though relevant, comment.

..:::Seduction Of Male Rat::..

While the Rat person sometimes seems egotistical on the outside, they are really highly sensitive and sentimental on the inside. They are very emotional, and easily carried away by extremes of passion and jealousy. They love fiery love that is agitated and tumultuous day in and day out. The Rat person's only fear is finding out that they are enclosed in an all-encompassing, boring routine.

They won't hesitate to use their active imagination to preserve the freshness of their relationship. They know how to play the role of the lover, the loved one, and the faithful friend. To seduce a Rat man, you must be understanding, respect their taste for mystery, and spring a surprise or two on them at the right moments.
