Hello, I'm new to this tribe. So, I know that I am a Dog (because I checked the Chinese astrological placemat at the Chinese restaurant & that's what it said) (I took one home for future reference) but how do you know what element goes with it? Say, Fire Dog, Water Goat, etc. I used to think that Chinese astrology didn't mean as much as the traditional Western kind but then I pulled my head out of my butt (for a little while ...)
& now I want to know all about it!
