Astrology traditions

Chinese astrology

Chinese astrology encompasses several traditions and systems developed in China for understanding time, character, relationships and cycles of change.

Chinese astrology describes a broad family of astrological traditions developed in China.

These traditions use systems, cycles and concepts that differ significantly from those found in Western astrology and Indian astrology.

What is Chinese astrology?

Chinese astrology includes several different methods rather than a single uniform system.

Approaches may draw on traditional calendars, cyclical patterns, the Chinese zodiac and other concepts developed within Chinese cosmology.

Different practitioners may therefore mean somewhat different things when they describe their work as Chinese astrology.
