chresti, if it were an american astrology there'd be organizations with an agenda to give equal astrological representation for the other families/orders/phylum!
Avatar 8:22pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Chinese Years come in pairs, so to speak. The first is the Yang or Active expression of a principle or quality, & the next the Yin or Receptive expression. 🐅Tiger is Yang & acts on beliefs & passions - then 🐇Hare is domestic & security minded & a healer, for example. Domestic 😸Cat is a pretty good symbol for this I think ! But 🐇Hare also has many association with, for instance, the ☽Moon that are ancient & archetypal Legends... More broadly, there are many Calendars & Astrologies in the World - & it's always a question of what the Signs symbolize as Metaphors for the Societies that use it...

i think the domestic cat is not far removed from the tiger, and practically opposite the rabbit in most ways.

...Astrology of course is a very broad topic - & it characterizes Metaphysics to qualify interactions & associations & interrelatedness. There is very much an Astrology of Herbs & Medicines - in the West from Antiquity ...& continuous & never interrupted in Asia (if somewhat challenged by Modernism).

Easy to see your point. But it's about Context.
Has in fact been said getting Astrologers to agree is like Herding Cats ...overtly said with frustration - but with I think a presumed subtext of pride...

Of course - ultimately everyone gets their own Chart, not just one Sign.
In the Chinese System you get a Month, Day & Hour as well as Year Animal - the Four Pillars :
psychicscience.org...
- & as you might expect - the subject of Chinese Astrology & Metaphysics as is rich, deep, wide & complex as their Culture suggests it must be...

right on,Rabbit. (although i don't understand where pride, or what most people call pride, comes in @834)
- but it surely is traceable. certainly the modern ("western") astrology but even the ancient one, at least several millenia.
...regarding animal characteristics i fairly trustingly refer to native american culture , and animal "totems". ...although some asian animals wouldn't be considered... but then - who's to decide what animal characteristics a dragon has?!

'Pride' there is referring to Astrologers being proud of being freethinkers ...while they identify with their philosophies as humans generally do.

I see it as essentially ~ approximately every Continent has their own native Calendar - & corresponding Astrology. Much - I posit - like the situation with Scales & Musics ! (& I further posit - not coincidentally ??) As for the Americas (as named by Europeans for an Italian Mapmaker) - the only real PreColumbian one known & successfully researched is the MesoAmerican (Mayan~Aztec) one :
www.azteccalendar.com
www.mayanmajix.com...
- which is both highly developed & quite independent of Europe or Asian ones indeed.

Dragon is the only 'imaginary' creature in the Chinese Zodiac - which otherwise has been termed pretty 'barnyard' (people are not always flattered to be called Rats or Boars - but again, context). I think this reflects the very practical & down-to-earth traditional Culture of China - also reflected in say Taoism as a philosophy of Natural Cycles & Elements & the like. Which - I happen to admire & appreciate about it...
Dragons are in fact said to have 'larger than life' personalities (John Lennon, Zappa, Dali for examples) - to speak of one characteristic...
Dragon in the Chinese symbology is nonetheless very much a Force of Nature - as you probly know, rather distinct from the Western conception...
