The ancient Chinese developed a sophisticated science of astrology that continues to have a profound influence in China today. Rooted in Taoism, it evolved into a system vastly different from Western astrology; rather than determining personality by the time of year in which you were born, Taoist astrology focuses on the year itself to determine one's character. The years form a twelve-year cycle of signs, each named after an animal. This Feng Shui hanger depicts the twelve Chinese Zodiac animals. Made from Chinese coins and features a traditional Chinese silk knot and red tassel for prosperity. Hang by your front door of your home, office or business to bring harmony, happiness and good fortune to all that pass by it.
