Each animal has symbolic meanings given to it by the ancient Chinese. These animal attributes comes in six contrasting pairs that must be harmonized, like yin and yang, and are the primary factor governing the order of the zodiac. (Presumably the attributes most valued by ancient Chinese are first and so on.)

The strong yang attribute comes first, then the balancing yin attribute.

[+] SPOILER

Rabbit: Caution. - Caution without valor leads to cowardice.
Dragon: Strength. - Strength without flexibility leads to fracture.
Snake: Flexibility. - Flexibility without strength leads to compromise.
Horse: Forging ahead. - Forging ahead without unity leads to abandonment.

BE WARNED: Your birth sign year is considered an unlucky year - so be prepared and make it through (stock up on those red underwear :grin_wink: )

[+] SPOILER
As the Chinese zodiac recurs every 12 years,each zodiac sign will meet their birth sign year at age 12, 24, 36, etc. It's said people who are in their birth sign year will have bad luck.

For example, people who were born in a Monkey year should be more careful in all aspects, including their career, fortune, health, and love in Monkey years, such as 2016, 2028, 2040, and 2052.

According to ancient Chinese superstition, the best way to avoid bad luck is by wearing red items, such as red underwear, red socks, and red hairbands/wristbands.

I think the combo may make a difference on whether you are a male or female and it sounds like each animal has a gold, wood, water, fire sign as well...which apparently can influence your personality as well.

Mousy: this year your and Xye's babies will be 2016 FIRE MONKEYS

Personally I just look at this for fun because how can you lump so many people into the same categories...we are all influenced by our situations and environments etc

Monkey: but you wouldn't be marrying an actual monkey
