Chinese astrology is an ancient divinatory and philosophical system based on cosmic cycles, the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), Yin and Yang, and a zodiac of twelve animals — Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig — associated with sixty-year cycles. Unlike Western astrology based on birth month, Chinese astrology relies primarily on the birth year (lunar calendar), though birth month, day and time complete the profile through the 'Four Pillars of Destiny' (Ba Zi). Developed in China over 3,000 years ago, this system is intimately linked to Taoism, Confucianism and traditional Chinese cosmology. It is used to understand personality, relational and professional compatibility, life cycles and favourable or unfavourable periods. In Switzerland, certified Chinese astrologers practise in Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich and Bern. In Portugal, Chinese astrology is practised by trained consultants in Lisbon, Porto and other cities. Consultations typically last 60-90 minutes and provide detailed analysis of constitutional strengths and weaknesses, luck cycles, compatibilities and personalised recommendations.
