Asian zodiac: Astrologer shares each sign’s ‘most prominent trait’

The Asian zodiac, sometimes called the Chinese zodiac, is represented by 12 different animals all with different characteristics which make them unique. Astrologer Jessica Adams took a deep dive into the signs Rat, Ox and Tiger.

Rat (1900, 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032)

According to Asian astrology, Rat spends their life searching for a great love. Far from fiercely independent, this sign “needs a partner more than any other sign” and are looking for a “soulmate”.

What Rat wants from a relationship is a partner in all aspects of life, whether it’s “work commitments or weekend pursuits”. Jessica warned: “If you are with a Rat, be prepared – they don’t date, mate and relate the way other signs do.”

Rat is not keen to have meaningless flings and will not date just anybody to pass the time. When a relationship falls apart, Rat is the first to crumble and feel the loss of their love.

Jessica said: “They are looking for a deep bond that can last a lifetime and have enormous issues should a partnership ever fall apart.”

The astrologer continued: “It is interesting to note that three rats – Prince Charles, Bono and Alan Turing – formed youthful attachments which lasted. Charles eventually married his sweetheart Camilla.”

Ox (1901, 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021)

Ox is wholeheartedly devoted to their “roots”, finding it exceptionally hard to “switch social classes, cultures or countries”.

Jessica said: “Rather like an Ox, you belong to your own patch of turf. You have your ‘field’ and there is some far corner of it, which is forever yours.

“The Ox is tremendously proud of her/his neighbourhood or country and always flies the flag in some way.”

Jessica cited Richard Burton (Wales) and Walt Disney (Disneyland) as Oxen who stick firmly to their roots.

Tiger (1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022, 2034)

According to Asian astrology, Tiger thrives when surrounded by a bunch of people – but only if they are at a distance.

Jessica explained that Tigers are people who “need tribes of friends and allies” in order to function well.

However, this sign cannot be inextricably linked from a group as this is dangerous for its survival.

“Their friends and allies need them too,” Jessica explained, “but the Tiger is intensely individual, fiercely independent and must remain a little apart if the group is to remain cohesive”.

“Like Snow White among the Seven Dwarfs (released in The Year of The Tiger in 1938) the Tiger person is nothing without the tribe but also stands well apart from it.

“Tiger people typically have several teams or networks but are always outsiders.” One famous Tiger who epitomised this was the late Queen Elizabeth II, born in April 1926.

“Think of Her Majesty the Queen and the group of nations in her Commonwealth. She ruled this global network but was also distant from it.”
