最新 02-24

The similarities between both forms of astrology are many, and their differences are minor. Similarities between Indian and Chinese astrology are as follows:

中印兩個國家在星象學上有很多的相似之處，不同的地方比較少。相同之處如下：

·They both have 12 signs.

都有12個星象

Both the Indian and Chinese astrology have 12signs in their zodiac. They are named as follows :

印度和中國的星象學中都有12個星象，它們的命名如下：

In Indian astrology, there are Mesha (Aries),Vrishabha (Taurus), Mithuna (Gemini), Karka (Cancer), Simha (Leo), Kanya (Virgo), Tula (Libra), Vrishchika (Scorpio), Dhanu (Sagittarius), Makara (Capricorn), Kumbha (Aquarius) and Meena (Pisces).

在印度星象學中，它們是：Mesha（白羊座）, Vrishabha（金牛座），Mithuna（雙子座），Karka（巨蟹座），Simha（獅子座），Kanya（處女座）,Tula（天秤座）,Vrishchika（天蠍座）,Dhanu（射手座）,Makara（摩羯座）,Kumbha（水瓶座）和Meena（雙魚座）.

In the Chinese zodiac, the signs are given animal names and in order, they are: Rat (Dhanu), Ox (Makara), Tiger (Kumbha), Rabbit (Meena), Dragon (Mesh), Snake (Vrichavha), Horse (Mithuna), Sheep (Karka), Monkey (Simha), Rooster (Kanya), Dog (Tula), Pig (Vrishchika).

在中國生肖中，這些星象以動物名稱按順序進行排列，它們是：鼠（射手座）、牛（摩羯座）、虎（水瓶座）、兔（雙魚座）、龍（白羊座）、蛇（金牛座）、馬（雙子座）、羊（巨蟹座）、猴（獅子座）、雞（處女座）、狗（天秤座）、豬（天蠍座）

Major difference is that in the Chinese Zodiac, Dhanu (Rat) is first instead of Mesh (Dragon).

細微的不同在於，在中國生肖中，射手座（鼠）排在了第一位，而非白羊座（龍）。

·They have similar rules on compatibility.

它們在匹配上也有相似的規則。

In the Indian zodiac, signs ruled by the same element are best compatible with each other, meaning water signs (Karka, Vrishchika, Meena) are best compatible with water signs, fire signs (Mesha, Simha, Dhanu) are best compatible with fire signs, earth signs (Makara, Kanya, Vrishabha) are best compatible with earth signs and air signs (Tula, Kumbha, Mithuna) are best compatible with each other.

在印度星象學中，由相同行術控制的星象符號之間可以相互完美匹配，也就是說，水性星座（巨蟹、天蠍、雙魚）與水性星座之間可以完美匹配，火性星座（白羊座、獅子座、射手座）與火性星座之間可以完美匹配，土性星座（天秤座、水瓶座、雙子座）與土性星座之間可以完美匹配。

In the same vein, in Chinese Astrology, Horse (Mithuna), Dog (Tula) and Tiger (Kumbha) are best compatible with each other and so on and so forth.

同樣，在中國星象學中，馬（雙子座）、狗（天秤座）和虎（水瓶座）彼此之間也是最佳匹配，其它的同樣也是如此。

Also, just as opposite signs in the Indian zodiac experience a lot of friction and difficult compatibility, in Chinese astrology,opposite signs such as Dog and Rat, experience the same difficulties in compatibility

此外，正如在印度星象學中存在相剋和不匹配的星象，在中國星象中同樣存在這樣的情形，比如狗和鼠，就存在星象上的不匹配的情況。

·They both use elements.

他們同樣使用行術

Indian astrology has four elements (fire, earth, water and air) while the Chinese zodiac has five (water, earth, fire, wood and metal). The Chinese wood element corresponds to the Indian water element and its metal element corresponds with the Indian fire and earth elements.

印度星象學有四行（火、土、水和氣），而中國星象學中有五行（水、土、火、木和金），中國的木行術對應印度的水行術，金行術對應印度的火行術和土行術。

There are however a few differences between the Indian and Chinese astrology:

然而，中印星象學中也有細微的差異性：

·Chinese astrology signs are based on the lunar cycle while Indian astrology signs are based on the solar cycle.

中國星象是基於月曆，而印度星象是基於太陽曆。

·The Chinese New Year is on a different day every year due to its lunar cycle. Chinese astrology years are on a sixty year loop and each year consists of an animal sign and an element. These animals go in order from Rat to Ox to Tiger and so on. The animal for each year changes. The elements also change from wood to fire to earth to metal and water. The elements, however, last for two years at a time instead of one like the animals.

中國新年每年都不在同一天，因為其使用的是月曆。中國星象每六十年為一個循環，每年由一個動物屬相和一個行術組成。這些動物屬相從鼠到牛到虎…等等，動物屬相每年改變一次。行術也從木到火到金到水等依次變換，不過行術是每兩年一變換，而動物屬性是每年變換一次。

From the above, it is clear that the Indian and Chinese astrology share a lot in common for determining personality traits of individuals born under the various signs as their signs are parallel to each other.Therefore it should be noted that neither astrology is superior to the other but that both forms can better help the individual comprehend his behaviour patterns and hopefully predict his future.

從以上我們可以看出，中印兩國星象學有很多共通的地方，它們決定了個人在出生時各種各樣的星象所反映的他們與同樣星象的人的性格特徵。不過，應該指出的是，不存在哪國星象學都優於另外一國星象學的說法，但這兩種形式都可以更好地幫助個人理解他的行為方式，並有望用來預測他的未來。
