Well, typically in any generalized Chinese Astrology books, they mention Fire Horse, because if you are born in that year, in my case 1966, you aren't just a regular Horse, you are a Fire Horse.

The Metal, and Wood and all that other stuff is associated with TOB, from what I've read.
One is your Sign.
The other is your Element.

See what I'm sayin?

Anyway, my son is a pig. Funny thing... from when he was a toddler he's been utterly fascinated with pigs.
He had a huge collection of pig statues and animals.
He had me box them all up when he got "too big," but he asked me to put them in the attic, he didn't want to throw or give them away.
He left only ONE pig out, a stuffed 'Babe' pig that I put in his Easter basket when he was 17 mos. old.
He hides that one on the top bunk, under a pillow when his friends come over.

In my family we seem very suited with our chinese signs compared to our Astro signs.

Like my Virgo mom is a dog.
My Scorpio Dad is a snake.
My Pisces daughter is a sheep.
My Leo daughter is a Tiger, and so on.... so that's cool!

Here are the equivalents of Chinese signs to Western signs, if anyone is interested in how they correlate. They are assigned based on shared traits and similar personalities.

The Rat = Sagittarius
The Ox = Capricorn
The Tiger = Aquarius
The Rabbit = Pisces
The Dragon = Aries
The Snake = Taurus
The Horse = Gemini
The Sheep = Cancer
The Monkey = Leo
The Rooster = Virgo
The Dog = Libra
The Pig = Scorpio

I have a book that gives descriptions of each combination, but I can't find a decent site that has them for online reading. The descriptions I've seen so far are far off-base, but maybe someone else knows of a good site that has decent ones?

It's really important to know there are four parts to a Chinese astrology chart, so if you are only going by your year you are missing the other three parts! Your year, month, date, and hour each have their own animal/element combination and together they are the four pillars of your chart. You can find out all four of your pillars here: http://www.fourpillars.net/calculator.php

And, also just FYI for those interested, the elements correspond with planets.
Water = Mercury
Metal = Venus
Fire = Mars
Wood = Jupiter
Earth = Saturn

That's interesting... funny, I was thinking about this earlier before coming here. So if I'm a metal dog. Metal is Venus.
The description is very much like me. My neighbor at work pulled hers up too and it was SO much like her. And I have 3 people in my life all born in 1969 and while two of them are a lot alike, the other is so opposite. So the 4 tiers makes sense there.
I never really thought of Chinese astrology as anything serious because any of these calculators I've seen in the past only go by year which is too basic...

anyway...rambling again...
