How does the Western zodiac intersect with Chinese astrology?

Synonymous asked:


I’m curious if anyone out there is a bit of an expert on both Western and Chinese zodiac signs; how do they interact when trying to read a horoscope?

Bonus: I have a friend who is a Taurus and a Dragon, two signs which are roughly equivalent… so what are the implications of such a “double shot”?

What is the true basis of Astrology?

Lucanus asked:


What do zodiacal signs, some arbitrary configuration of some stars lined together, have to do with complex entities like “Water Bearer” for example? Where do these zodiacal names come from? And what is the basis of association between the arbitrarily joined stars, the signs and certain human traits?
When you check the astronomical position of the sun, you find it is not really in the sign where a common horoscope would say it is (Sidereal vs. Western Astrology). Why?
Is there logic and natural laws playing in this at all, or is astrology just some empty show to make fools of and get the money of many?
