The meaning and symbolism of the twelve zodiac signs have profound significance in traditional Chinese culture, and each zodiac sign has its unique symbolic meaning and cultural connotation. The application of the twelve zodiac signs in numerology is mainly reflected in the association with personal destiny, personality traits, and the theory of the five elements. In numerology, the combination of the twelve zodiac signs and the earth's branches forms a person's eight-character chart. This birth chart not only represents a person's birth time, but also carries the understanding and prediction of fate. By analyzing the heavenly stems and earthly branches and the corresponding twelve zodiac signs in the birth chart, numerologists can interpret a person's personality traits, career development, health, interpersonal relationships, and future auspiciousness and fortune. Each zodiac sign has its own unique character traits and destiny. For example, people born in the Year of the Rat are usually intelligent and adaptable, but may be too concerned about trivial matters. People born in the Year of the Dragon are ambitious and have leadership skills, but may be arrogant and difficult to approach. These personality traits are not only related to the zodiac itself, but also closely related to the five elements corresponding to the zodiac. The Five Elements theory advocates that wood, fire, earth, metal, and water interact with each other. The birth years of different zodiac signs correspond to specific five element attributes, which helps people to have a deeper understanding of their own destiny.

The twelve zodiac signs are opposite each other, and they are mutually opposed.
The first group is: Rat + Cow
The mouse represents wisdom and flexibility, while the ox represents diligence and progress. Wisdom represents having a clear direction, while diligence represents being determined to do something before taking action, winning first and then fighting. It is not enough to rely solely on wisdom and strategy. You also need to work diligently, thinking without doing is useless.
The second group is: tiger + rabbit
The tiger represents bravery and the rabbit represents caution. A person who is not cautious will only be brave, which is called recklessness, and recklessness will inevitably lead to misfortune. However, on the contrary, being cautious and hesitant, always being anxious when encountering opportunities, worrying that hesitation will lead to procrastination, and not taking action will result in a lack of courage, which is equivalent to missing opportunities.
The third group is: dragon + snake
The dragon represents strength, the snake represents flexibility. People should learn to balance strength and softness. If they are too hard, they will be easily broken, and if they are too soft, they will be easily bullied. If they should move forward, they should move forward, and if they should stop, they should stop.
The fourth group is: horse + sheep
The horse represents the goal, while the sheep represents the harmony and the flow. This is a spirit of being a person. Of course, one must have the ideals and ambition to pursue goals. However, if you encounter setbacks, you still need to learn to adapt to the environment and accept these changes. Otherwise, this person's spirit will easily collapse.
The fifth group is: Monkey + Chicken
Monkey represents flexibility, chicken represents constant. If a person is flexible and changeable, they often lack constant rules and determination, and they are prone to deceitful behavior, even resorting to any means, which will lead to great misfortune. On the contrary, if one only stubbornly remains unchanged, walking a path until it becomes dark, and when one gets older, one can only use brute force instead of cleverness, the outcome will only be a dead end. Therefore, one must learn to go with the flow.
The sixth group is: Dog + Pig
Dogs represent loyalty and principle, while pigs represent easygoing and casual. To be a person and to do things, one must learn to be round on the outside and square on the inside. One must be able to get along harmoniously with others and adhere to one's own position and principles. Always externalizing without internalizing, stubbornness is not a good result. Principles are used to demand yourself, and when you demand yourself, you can influence others. When others don't follow principles, you have to learn to adapt and pass the way. This is what Chinese culture calls "the middle way." When looking at things, we should look at their two sides. A wise person will balance and move forward harmoniously, without being extreme or persistent.
