Actually These are not really an "Astrology" sign.
Astrology is a Top-Secert for ancient Chinese. People believed that knowing the stars could know lots of things so the emperor make 'Astrology' into a study that only a few people could learn.
The Rooster, Monkey, Tiger...you talk about is a sign of year,so it doesn't matter you were Leo or something else.
Those signs are: (in order)
Rat(鼠),Cow(or someone say Ox牛),Tiger(虎),Rabbit(兔),Dragon(龍),Snake(蛇), Horse(馬), Goat(or someone say Sheep羊),Monkey(猴),Chicken(or Rooster雞),Dog(狗),Pig(豬)
so when you born in (like me) 1991-i'm a sheep, and 1992 is a Monkey, 1993 is chicken, 1994is dog, 1995is pig, and than back to rat, so 1996 is a rat.
Why it happen is base on the way chinese count their year- tian-gan and di-zhi, it's a special way
Tian-gan got 10 characters(甲乙丙丁戊己庚辛壬癸)
Di-zhi got 12 characters(子丑寅卯辰巳午未申酉戌亥)
the counting way is like this (if Tian-gan is like a, b, c... and Di-zhi is like A, B, C...)the first year:aA than bB, than cC...10th year is jJ ,the 11 year is aK , so 60 years later will back to aA again
Chinese people put a story in each charater of Di-Zhi so that's why we have these signs.

Aquarius, but I have had two different Chinese signs, by two different sources. The computer said I am a horse. The place mat at the restaurant said I am a goat. So, I guess I am a mule? lol

I am an aquarius. Born in January of `92 (yes sorry i am young) so i am on border line of the `91 sheep and the `92 monkey.
chinese astrology doesnt go by your zodiac sign. it goes by the year you were born.

I though the Chinese signs were based on the year you were born, not the month/day (?)
Anyway, I'm a dog. Bow, wow.
