To begin with Japanese Zodiac Sign – 干支 (ETO) refers to the Chinese zodiac, which consists of 12 animal signs and 10 heavenly stems. Each animal sign is associated with a particular year in a 12-year cycle.
Each animals of “ETO” has each meaning like this:
Saying: “The market becomes turbulent as the tiger runs through the market with great force.”
