You think you know it, the Yin and the Yang, the 5 elements, the 12 animals: the Rat, the Buffalo, the Tiger...
It is then easy to distinguish periods of success, of neutrality, or of failure: Chinese Astrology is a tremendous tool to determine the nature and the date of the main events of a life. Chinese and Western Astrologies are magnificently complementary: Western Astrology is best used to describe the inner personality while Chinese Astrology gives precise information about the external unfolding of a life. Besides, using both Astrologies helps to remove all ambiguities.
It is not always simple for example, with Western Astrology, to know if a transit of Saturn (a transit occurs when a planet passes again on the position
it already had in the native chart) indicates the failure of an enterprise, or the maturity of someone directing all his/her energies to a long-term realization.
In this case, the study of the corresponding Chinese period generally allows to decide.
