Want To Know Who's Good For You?

A central foundation of Chinese astrology is the concept of Yin and Yang, which expresses the

balanced wholeness of two opposing but complementary forces. To start with, yin and yang are

usually reflected in the character traits of individuals, so these are revealed in the astrological

readings of the different animal signs. What animal sign a person is born under, whether yin or

yang, plays a big part in defining their personality. Yin and yang attributes also offer leads

regarding compatibility with other animal signs. Thus not only do we look at birth elements, we

also examine whether the element has a yin or a yang essence. This has a bearing on whom we

get along with and who amongst the other animal signs will be most beneficial whether as a

friend or romantic partner.

Yang animal signs generally reflect people who are impetuous, gregarious and decisive. Yin animal

signs tend to be people who are thinkers and philosophers. Likeness gets along with likeness, so you

will notice your horoscope allies (the three signs that make up your triangle of affinity) share the same

yin or yang trait as you. On the flip side of the same coin, you will notice your astrological archenemy

(the animal directly opposite you in the zodiac wheel) will also be yin if you are yin, and yang if you are

yang. Horoscope secret friends however (people who are beneficial in your life without you realizing it)

will be yin if you are yang. And yang if you are yin. So secret friends complete the wholeness of the Tao.

Your secret friend will make you whole. It is thus useful to be familiar with the personality profiles of each

of the 6 yang animal signs and the 6 yin animal signs.
