THE CHINESE ZODIAC
A Sky of Twelve Signs
Each sign keeps its own place in the night. Scroll to meet all twelve, their natures, and the bonds that draw them together or apart.
UNDERSTANDING THE SKY
Reading the Bonds
In Chinese astrology every sign answers to the others in four ways.
Allies of the San He trine. These signs share your rhythm and lift you without effort.
Your Liu He secret friend. A quiet bond of luck that steadies you from the side.
The Harm and Punishment ties. Small frictions that wear slowly and ask for patience.
Your Liu Chong opposite. The strongest pull in the other direction, workable only with care.
One pair defies the ledger. Snake and Monkey both combine and punish, favorable and troublesome at once.
