Chinese Zodiac History
Legends and mythology are a big part of Chinese culture, especially in relation to the Chinese Zodiac. The 12 animals that appear on the Chinese Zodiac calendar include a rat, buffalo (ox), tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. It’s an unusual combination of animals for sure, and their appearance on the Chinese Zodiac is the topic of countless legends and is deeply embedded in Chinese mythology.

Anyway, the whole "horoscope" thing may seem a little less ridiculous now, as the mere 12 Chinese zodiac sign animals translate to 60 x 12 x 12 = 8640* different personalities based on the year, month and hour of your birth.
That is certainly comforting. Now there are just 800,000 clones of you on the planet. It also means that if you're born on Mars, with its 24.62 hour day, you have a chance of having no zodiac animal at all and thus no personality.
