Chinese Astrology is an ancient art, which uses the time of birth, including the year, month, day and time, to reveal insights into a person's personality trails, lifestyle, health, career direction, and compatibility with others. Although the exact origin of the system is unknown, Chinese Astrology has guided the Chinese for over five thousand years and has a profound influence on our lives.

The Chinese system of zodiac is actually based on a ten-year Sun-Moon cycle that conforms to the ancient Chinese agricultural calendar. The cycle is divided into the five elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal as well as the twelve animals, which represent each year. The system is influenced by Yin (female) and Yang (male) cosmic force, which is said to be an interpretation of universal harmony and balance.

Chinese Astrology uses the balance theory of Yin-Yang Five Elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth) to predict people future. Not like other horoscopes, this Chinese Astrology won't tell your personality or your relationships with people, which you should know better than any Astrology. Here we are interesting in telling something about yourself, which you never know.

In spite of its popularity and usage, the astrology has many drawbacks. Some of them are given below.
Astrology is not a regulated field. It has much opposition between two conflicting forces or ideas. It requires a lot of skills to be an astrologer. Exploring the dimensions of astrological predictions requires accuracy and scientific temper.
As per the Sanskrit verse which says that only the Creator knows what is going to happen and others can only guess it, the astrology cannot fix anyone's future. It is probabilistic in nature.
Even an expert astrologer cannot predict with 100% success rate.
There are only few serious astrologers. Anyone with a pocket book on astrology claims to be an astrologer. Such fake astrologers are springing up in large numbers, playing with the credulity of the masses.
Even though the astrology is a great discipline, there is an impenetrable prejudice characterizing the majority of the educated people who consider astrology as mere superstition. Unless much time is devoted to the study and investigation, no one is entitled to hold their opinion on discipline like astrology.
The gross misuse of the sacred Vedic astrology has led to the present degradation of astrology. Not only the fake astrologers, but also many narrow minded scientists are responsible for this degradation.
The modern scientists also reject any investigation of the astrological claims.
