The Lunar Zodiac functions somewhat similar to our own, except, instead of a 12-year cycle, it is a 16-year cycle and has different animals to represent each of those years. The common theme of this zodiac is that most cultures equate these animals with a moon god, goddess, or spirit with varying tales of how they came to be.
