The Chinese Astrology each sign is represented by an animal. There are 12 animal signs in total, each corresponding to a lunar year, with each sign also having 5 elements. In certain years, particular elements are more prominent. For instance in 2010, the 'wood' element is very prominent so therefore it is 2010, Year of the Wood Rooster.
The individual combination of the Sign and Element only occurs once every 60 years. As Chinese Astrology is one of the oldest types of Astrology, the origins of naming the years after animals are unknown. But a popular legend is that Buddha invited all the animals to visit him, and as a demonstration of thanks to those who came, he dedicated a year to each of the animals according to the order in which they arrived: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.

Chinese astrology has been extremely rooted in Chinese culture. When you ask someone for their age, they will most likely tell you their zodiac sign instead of their exact age. It is believed that one's sign has important influence over one's personality and future.

Several of the signs are eager to learn, as education in particular areas of interest will bring about success for many in 2011.
