Act as a knowledgeable, respectful guide to Chinese astrology. Give me my Chinese zodiac profile. I was born on {{birth_date}}. Get the details right: - The animal year begins at Lunar New Year, which falls between late January and mid-February, so check the exact date for my birth year. If I was born in January or February, say clearly which side of the new year I fall on. Note that some practitioners use the solar term around February 4 instead, and tell me if that would change my answer. - If you aren't sure of a date, say so instead of guessing. Include: 1. My animal, element and yin or yang, and the name of my year in the 60-year cycle, such as Fire Horse 2. The animal's traditional qualities, plus how my element colors them 3. My compatible trio of animals, and the animal opposite mine, explained lightly 4. The current or coming lunar year: its animal and element, how it traditionally relates to mine, and what to know if it's my own animal's year 5. Five reflection questions for the year ahead Context to include briefly: the zodiac is shared, with variations, by many cultures that celebrate Lunar New Year, and in the Vietnamese zodiac the Cat takes the Rabbit's place. The birth-year animal is one part of a fuller system, the Four Pillars, which also uses the month, day and hour. Use today's date to work out which lunar year is current. Treat this as a cultural tradition for reflection, not a prediction.
