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.

What does it mean to have an earth personality?
Fire personalities are bursting with energy and excitement. They can be amusing, playful, impulsive, competitive, and driven by themselves.
The inclination to be: impulsive, impatient, intolerant, a desire for rapid pleasure, overcompetence, attention-seeking, and the tendency to burn out due to doing too much is the subject of the lesson.
Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus:
Methodical, dependable, loyal, practical, hardworking, disciplined, patient, strategic, cautious, and frequently rule-bound, Earth type personalities rely greatly on routines or rhythms.
Their focus is on the tendency to be too cautious, conservative, inflexible, stuck, or critical, as well as the inclination to let habits or routines to confine them.
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are the signs of the zodiac.
The element air symbolizes the mind’s tendency toward objectivity, flexibility, and versatility.
The Air types are divided into two groups: introverted intellectuals and socialites and networkers who thrive on communication.
They are quick thinkers, adaptable, flighty, busy minds, sensitive nervous systems, and have a proclivity for overthinking, which can lead to issues like insomnia, worry, and a continual changing of their minds.
Emotions, the subconscious, imagination, and spiritual awareness are all represented by water. They are nurturers, and their compassion, empathy, and emotional intelligence are boosted. They have a dreamy, imaginative, and creative disposition that can make them want to live in a fantasy world or need to get away from the constraints of reality.
Emotional attachments, self-sacrificial patterns, procrastination, deep emotional fluctuations, and victim type patterns are all possibilities.
So who’s your perfect match?
This is a fiery, passionate, turbulent, and frequently competitive mix. The sex life can be fantastic at best, and the arguments and ego habits can make this combination quite aggressive at worst.
Earth can anchor and build things to last for a long time, while fire may inspire. The difficulty is that the Fire person can become frustrated and impatient, while the Earth person can become rushed or agitated.
There is a significant amount of mental and physical activity. Work and social life will both be crucial. The difficulty in this combo is the Fire’s impulsive quality of leaping before looking vs the Air’s overthinking quality of worrying or overanalyzing things before struggling to get into action mode.
This is a reactive mixture because fire can boil water and water tends to extinguish fire.
At best, the Water person can offer empathy to the mix, while the Fire person can encourage Water to take action.
