An "Animal Sign" refers to a symbol or representation of an animal that is often used in various cultural contexts, such as astrology or folklore. In many traditions, these signs are believed to influence personality traits and behaviors. For example, in the Chinese Zodiac, each year is associated with a specific animal sign, such as the Rat or Dragon, which recurs every twelve years. In addition to astrology, animal signs can also appear in totemism, where specific animals are seen as spiritual guides or protectors. Different cultures may interpret these signs uniquely, attributing various meanings and significance to each animal.
