Chinese zodiac daily fortunes are based on the ancient system of astrology that has been part of Chinese culture for over 2,000 years. Each of the 12 zodiac animals — Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig — has unique characteristics that influence daily luck in different areas of life: career, love, health, and wealth. These daily predictions draw from traditional Chinese almanac (Tong Shu) calculations that consider the interactions between the heavenly stems and earthly branches. While daily fortunes are meant for entertainment, many people enjoy checking their zodiac forecast as a fun way to start the day!
