Secret Animals of the Chinese Zodiac

by

Interested in what you have read but still feeling a little less than 100% on your defined sign and element? Well that could be because you have a little secret.

A secret animal that is.

No, we’re not done with signs yet. The Chinese zodiac has one more fun surprise for us in the form of the secret animal.

The secret animal is said to be the truest representation of a person’s being because it is represented by the smallest amount of time – a two hour period. Your secret animal is based on your birth hour:

23:00 - 01:00: rat
01:00 - 03:00: ox
03:00 - 05:00: tiger
05:00 - 07:00: rabbit
07:00 - 09:00: dragon
09:00 - 11:00: snake
11:00 - 13:00: horse
13:00 - 15:00: sheep
15:00 - 17:00: monkey
17:00 - 19:00: rooster
19:00 - 21:00: dog
21:00 - 23:00: boar

So whereas you may have been born in the year of the horse, your qualities may tend towards that of the rooster if you were born between five and seven pm and are true to yourself.

If you have your year animal sign the same as your secret animal sign, then you don’t need to be reading this! You probably identify very strongly with the traits in your year animal sign and don’t have much use for the secret animal sign.

As I mentioned before, you need to be careful with the Chinese calendar because it doesn’t line up with the Western calendar. Be sure to double check the dates of you birth against the calendar provided here.
