Chinese Zodiac tea pets are small figurines made of ceramics in the shape of animals, that accompany you while you drink your tea, which is believed to bring you good luck. In Chinese astrology, each zodiac animal has certain features.
The traditional Chinese calendar features a cyclical dating method that repeats every 60 years, aka sexagenary cycle, which is overlapped by the Heavenly Stems and the Earthly Branches. Zodiac and Earthly Branches are in one-to-one correspondence.
Each year of the Chinese Zodiac is represented by a different animal: the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.
Horoscopes were developed around animal signs to predict personality traits and destiny. Each animal is known to have certain characteristics that a person born under the sign would demonstrate. The year a person is born determines their animal sign. For example, a person’s animal sign is a tiger if they were born in the year of the tiger.
