The Difference between Chinese and Western Astrology

Western astrology is used by some astrologers in love compatibility. The first and common method in how they do it is by comparing the signs of the couple through the method of analyzing the zodiac signs compatibility. This compatibility is usually based on whether the zodiac sign belong to the same element. These elements can be under the FIRE signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) or EARTH signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn), or AIR signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) or WATER signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces).

Western astrology also makes use of sun signs and moon signs. There are tables available that shows the sign that the moon is at during the day you were born which differs from year to year. What astrologers do is compare both sun signs to forecast your compatibility with your partner. Later on, astrologers compare sun sign with its respective moon sigh and the other way around. You should have at least two matches in the four comparisons as the minimum criteria.

On the other hand, Chinese astrology which is another way of horoscope reading is resolute a person’s destiny by the position of the major planets at the person’s birth together with the position of the Sun, Moon and the comets. Chinese horoscope readings are based on their zodiac sign which is strictly on a 12 year cycle. Chinese horoscopes corresponded by the twelve aforesaid animals which each sign is for one year. Every Chinese zodiac signs symbol is specified the symbol according upon your year birth and they rotate according to a twelve year cycle.

As you noticed, there is a major difference between Chinese and Western astrology as there are many things that can be based on astrology predictions such as giving forecast to your horoscope.

Immemorial horoscope and astrology signs have been included and part of our culture as the days go by. Each person has its own unique birth chart or natal chart that differs to one another. But despite of the number of people who strongly agree with astrology reading, there are still those who don’t believe anything and skeptic about astrology and divination.

The legend of astrology and its astrological star sign started when the first known astrologers thought that people who were born under a specific constellation had the similar characters. These beliefs have been developed through the past years and a lot more associations were accredited with each astrology sign. In early 1900s, the beliefs about astrological signs have become prominent as it was much easier to give its definitions.

Journalists who have whose major interest is astrology started writing them. The development of horoscopes in media has become its results and basis. However, different astrology forecasts depends on horoscope also as some zodiac signs have a closer link to another signs. It is the reason why even other people have the same birth date and horoscope signs and yet their characters and personalities differ.
