So I am curious, does the Chinese zodiac really work like how it says it does on the back of those paper place mats they had in the strip mall Chinese place that was probably actually owned by Koreans that I went to as a kid or is that a bastardized version?
It’s a lot more complex compared to the Western Zodiac and what you get on those placemats
I’m not calling myself an expert, but I do know that in addition to the animal signs, you also have the five elements, whether or not that cycle is possessed of yin or yang, and also that cycles heavenly and earthly stem

So yeah, the placemat is not fully informative
Dang it paper place mat that was probably bulk purchased from a sketchy company in San Fransisco! Why would you lie to me while I’m eating egg rolls
