The Chinese zodiac, known as shengxiao (/shnng-sshyao/, ‘born resembling’), is made up of 12 animals. The Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig are the animals in order.
At Chinese New Year (in January/February), the Chinese zodiac years begin and end. Each year of the 12-year zodiac cycle is symbolized by a zodiac animal, each with its own set of purported characteristics.
People in China believe that a person’s horoscope, personality, and love compatibility are all linked to his or her Chinese zodiac sign, which is decided by his or her birth year.

In Chinese astrology, what is a Leo?
The person born when the Sun crosses the constellation of Leo, the fifth zodiac sign of the solar calendar, is ambitious, proud, noble, generous, and spontaneous.
He is inherently attractive and personable, and he inspires admiration in others. His pompous and arrogant tendencies should be tamed as much as possible, especially if he wants to maintain strong relationships with his family and friends.
The native of the zodiac sign Leo is a sensual person who enjoys a luxurious lifestyle. He is also an esthete who despises vulgarity in his daily life. As much as he has a deep disgust for hypocrisy, pettiness and unnecessary brutality, he can get furiously outraged and even violent in the face of injustice.
Nothing can go wrong in the company of a Leo if one respects the rules he has established. Friends, family and business partners alike should feel protected and nurtured by his bright and fertile atmosphere.
Leo love compatibility
Leo, the Western zodiac sign, is the most similar to the Monkey, the Chinese zodiac sign. The lunar calendar dates of the Month of the Monkey do, in fact, nearly correlate to the solar calendar dates of Leo’s zodiac sign.

Why is Leo so fortunate?
The Leo personality is one of those signs that seems to have luck on their side all of the time, which can make other signs jealous. They have the ability to make things appear almost too simple, as if they don’t have to try. It’s just another advantage of being a Leo.
What kind of person should a Leo marry?
In general, fellow fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) are the most compatible signs for Leo friendships and romantic partnerships since they share their passion and heat. Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) offer a dynamic, fast-paced energy that could complement a Leo’s personality.
What color is the birthstone for August?
Peridot is a gem variant of the mineral olivine that ranges from yellowish green to greenish yellow. Peridot has been mistaken for other gems like topaz and emerald throughout history. The island of Topazios in the Red Sea, which is said to be the origin of the name “topaz,” actually produces peridot. The Shrine of the Three Holy Kings in Cologne Cathedral, Germany, is adorned with 200 carats of jewels that were mistaken for emeralds but are actually peridot, the August birthstone. Some historians even speculate that peridot was used in Cleopatra’s famous emerald collection.
The word “peridot” is derived from the Arabic word faridat, which means “jewel.” Many ancient and medieval societies prized this August birthstone. It first appeared in priestly jewelry in the second century BCE, and then in medieval Europe’s chalices and churches. The peridot birthstone has also been used as a protective charm for generations, guarding the wearer from bad spirits and “night terrors.”
