Zodiac

Zodiac is represented by twelve animals that are also used to number and date things. It is a repeating cycle of 12 years, with each year being represented by an animal and its reputed attributes. Traditionally these zodiac animals were used to date the years. 
In order, the 12 animals are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. Each year is associated with a zodiac animal. People born in a certain animal year are believed to have attributes of that animal, which could either help or hinder a relationship. 
An important use of the Zodiac is to determine if two people are compatible, in a romantic relationship or any kind of relationship.
In ancient times, in order to tell the time, people divided a day into twelve 2-hour periods, and designated an animal to represent each period, according to each animal’s “special time”.
