The Chinese Zodiac For Beginners HD

The chinese zodiac for beginners. Hello once again, astrology fans. Today, we thought we’d shake things up a bit and do something a little bit outside of our usual wheelhouse. So far, we here at Bestie have made quite a few videos discussing topics and themes related to the astrological signs of the Western zodiac. As a change of pace, this week we decided to set our sights further east to see what other forms of astrology are out there for us to learn more about. Today, we will be taking a look at the Chinese zodiac, the twelve-animal themed signs that make it up, and each of the signs’ corresponding meanings. #ChineseNewYear #Astrology #ChineseZodiac Timestamps: 1.
