What are your thoughts on it?
In my experience, it helped me look out for all kinds of human traits described in the system, gave identity to different years (making them seem more meaningful) and pretty much gave me a system of personalities to believe in.
Today, I know better than to settle completely for this, although it still seems like it's scores better than in a hit or miss scenario.
I'm an Earth Dragon (born in the hour of the Monkey), what are you?
(your element, which can be Earth, Fire, Water, Wood or Metal, is based on a 60 year cycle, and come in pairs. An even year is Yang, or male, and is the beginning of the pair. The odd year is a Yin, or female, and ends the pair. So 1988 is Yang Earth, 1989 is Yin Earth. Then 1990 is the start of the next pair, which is metal, so 1990 is Yang Metal, 1991 is Yin Metal, and so forth.)
Then there's this talk about lunar months having an effect on your personality as well, I don't know how to calculate that... Anyway, here's a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_astrology#Water
I did a search and saw that this topic has been discussed last fall and noticed that many people didn't buy all this mumbojumbo. I saw the Celtic and Zoroastrian horoscopes, and they pretty much work out too, for me at least, doesn't make em true. In the end, all that counts is what you believe in.
