In addition, each Rat year is also represented by 5 elements in Chinese astrology that express character and behavior. Therefore, each year it is referred to with a different zodiac animal name and a different element name, and this repeats only once in 60 years. 2008 is also known as the Year of the Earth Rat. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 2008 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
