Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Western zodiac?
Chinese astrology uses a twelve-year animal cycle tied to lunar New Year dates, not monthly sun signs.
Which animals are included?
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
Can I spin for lucky numbers too?
Add custom slices with favored digits beside animals if your celebration mixes both traditions.
Does the wheel know my birth year?
It does not calculate years, you interpret which animal matches your birth date separately.
