Chinese zodiac

 

It derives from the observation of the 12-year period that it requires for the planet Jupiter (木星) to complete its orbit. Chinese associate each year with an animal and believe it help indicate fortune and the course of events. "Chinese zodiac" refers to the collective concept(生肖总称). For example: The Chinese zodiac is used to help people predict their fate. To refer to each animal in the zodiac, you can say "Chinese zodiac animal sign"(属相，指具体属相). For example: "The ox is one of the Chinese zodiac animal signs.". Or you can simply put it as "Chinese animal sign".

Horoscope

 

The horoscope serves as a map of the sun, moon and other stars in the sky over a specific location at a particular moment in time. It is used to analyze the character of individuals born at that time and predict their future. Astrologers (占星师) divide the year into 12 parts and each part has its own constellation. It is called the zodiac (黄道十二宫). However, we can't say "What's your constellation" (你是什么星座？). "Constellation" refers to the group of stars in the sky. We should use "star sign" in this context.
