Chinese horoscope

Calculates the year element of the Chinese horoscope based on the (birth) date.
In the Chinese horoscope the year of the Chinese calendar is under the influence of one of the twelve sings and one of the five elements. The calculation generates the following descriptions:

1. Character of the year sign (e.g. Rat)
2. Character of one of the five variations of the year sign (e.g. Fire Rat)
3. Character of the year element (e.g. Wood Yin)

The twelve signs are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Hare, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig
The five elements are Fire, Wood, Earth, Metal, Water.

In the setting page you can easily adjust the following:

• Descriptions of the twelve signs
• Descriptions of the five variants of each of the twelve signs (e.g. Fire Rat)
• Descriptions of the five elements and their yin and yang types (e.g. Metal Yang)
• Change the language

You can change your settings in the wp-admin menu.
