Which Flower Tea Are You Based on Your Lunar Zodiac?

Deeply rooted in Chinese mythology, astrology, and traditional calendar systems, the Chinese zodiac is believed to date back over 2,000 years, possibly to the Han Dynasty. It evolved alongside the Chinese calendar, which is a lunisolar calendar used to organize agricultural activities, festivals, and rituals. Years later, it still serves as a personality qualifier but also has amazing astrological and cultural significance. Each animal sign is believed to influence the characteristics and destinies of people born in its corresponding year. The zodiac is also tied to the five elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, adding even more detail and meaning to each special animal.

The animals are also divided into Yin (feminine, passive) and Yang (masculine, active) forces. Maybe you know some of this already! It's likely you've heard of the Chinese zodiac, because it still endures today, influencing many aspects of daily life in East Asia and making its way into parts of Western culture. You'll find it used in personality assessments, wedding plans and even business decisions. It's also widely recognized during Chinese New Year celebrations when people engage in festivities and honor the zodiac animal of the year.
