You are a Virgo Sheep, one of 144 possible pairings. If births were spread evenly across signs and years, about 1 in 144 people would share it. Your Western sign comes from your birth date. Your Chinese sign comes from your birth year, counted from Lunar New Year. The two systems evolved independently on opposite sides of the world and measure entirely different things about you.
