In Chinese Astrology terms, 2017 is the year of the Fire Rooster. People with persistence and flexibility will find abundant opportunities to prosper.
There are 12 animal signs of the zodiac based on the chinese calendar. Most people know the animal of the year they were born but did you know you also have an animal for the month you were born, the day you were born and even the time you were born. Each of these animals relate to one of the five elements (fire, earth, metal, water and wood) and how they interact indicates a lot about what is going on in your life at any particular time.
