Chinese Astrology & Western Astrology
by Yu-Ching Yen
When I was a child, my parents told me that I was a Dog according to Chinese astrology. While I was in university, I learned about Western astrology and found out that I was a Gemini. Today I will analyze both Chinese and Western astrology. First, I figured out that there are several differences between the Dog and Gemini. Second, I also found out that the Dog and Gemini have some similarities. It was only after I compared and contrasted the Dog with Gemini that I finally realized that my personality was a combination of the two.
First of all, it is interesting that Gemini sometimes has "a bit lacking in responsibility;" on the other hand, the Dog "has a strong sense of duty and responsibility." Another difference is that Gemini can "be somewhat childish in demeanor and may sometimes annoy others" whereas "the Dog is sensitive to others and empathizes with them." These are some opposite personality traits between the Dog and Gemini.
Secondly, Gemini and the Dog also have some similarities. For example, "the Dog has pessimistic thoughts. Dogs think about situations beyond their control, such as natural or human disasters." Likewise "Gemini sometimes defaults to a more positive mental state." In addition, "Gemini is rather curious and inquisitive by nature." Similarly "the Dog has a strong curiosity." When Dogs are told a story or hear of an event, they need to know all the facts.
In conclusion, after comparing and contrasting between the two kinds of astrology, I think that I possess different traits from both of them. For example, I am "in charge of and am sensitive to something I am interested in." In contrast, "I don't care about other things I don't like." I also see eye to eye with the similarities of Gemini and the Dog. That's why I figured out that I am like both of them.

Comparison and Contrast of My Astrology

People usually have a Chinese horoscope and a Western horoscope. They may not only have the same dispositions, but also different ones because Chinese astrology is decided by every year in a twelve-year cycle. Therefore, it's different from Western astrology, which is decided by one's birth month. Accordingly, I cannot believe both of the them. I will introduce some examples about the the consistent and inconsistent cases.
Firstly, I will explain the similarities between my signs of both astrology, the Ox and Virgo. The Ox is quiet and steady, and Virgo shows conscientiousness. The Ox has a disposition of being steady; so similarly, Virgo may indicate conservative conscientiousness. Moreover, the Ox has a logical mind, which helps me to be conscientious.
Secondly, in contrast to the previous paragraph, I will explain my opposite case. If Virgo's character is conscientious, that implies diligence. Unlike the former case, it may occur in contradiction to the Ox's character, which is steady because extreme diligence may not be steady. Furthermore, the Ox has a hot-headed character. If this trait is exhibited, Virgo's character will not maintain its levelheaded nature.
To sum up, there are some conflicts between Chinese and Western astrology. Although they may have similar factors, they have equally different factors. Thus, it's difficult to believe them.
