• The Outer Animal is traditionally what most Westerners think of when they think of Chinese Astrology. It is the animal assigned to all persons born within any given year.• The Outer Animal is the most superficial element of the zodiac- it is simply the way that you appear outwardly to others, not necessarily how you really are.

• The secret animal is thought to be a person’s truest representation, since this animal is determined by the smallest denominator: a person’s birth hour. It is therefore important to know the exact time of birth to determine it. It is also important to compensate for daylight savings time.
