Your True Chinese Astrology Sign

Get to know your true astrology sign. Most people commonly associate Chinese astrology with the 12 zodiac symbols of the Chinese Astrology horoscope. While that is interesting, it makes up less than an eighth of your true astrology sign. Chinese astrology, based on Tao astrology, reads your birth data using not just your birth year, but also the natal month, day and hour. Each data is further composed of 2 factors: the Earthly Branches (which is the 12 Chinese Zodiac Symbols) and the Heavenly Stems. Hence your real life astrology is a combo of 8 zodiac symbols, which makes up what is know as the "Four Pillars".
