Chinese astrology
The astrology of China, read on this site through BaZi (八字, 'eight characters'): the year, month, day and hour of your birth, each written as a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch, with the element of the day you were born, your Day Master, at its centre. It uses the twelve animals and the five elements rather than the zodiac signs, and its own calendar of solar terms rather than the Western months.
