How does Chinese Astrology work with the elements????

Question

Okay in regular astrology I am a Capricorn and all other Capricorns like me are earth signs but in Chinese astrology my mom and my grandpa are both snakes but they have different elements! Why????

Answer 1

www.jinti.com , an introduction website to China. Here you can find plenty of news and things about China as well as meet a lot of American Chinese. You can talk about China and make friends with them.

Answer 2

Because they were born a different year.

Each year the element changes even if it is the same sign as twelve years ago, it's still a different element.
