There's some thought that the reason astrological signs (or Chinese signs for that matter) work, is because in a round-a-bout way, everything influences everything. ie: astrologically speaking a Leo will have similar characteristics of another Leo simply because of the season the earth was in at the time of they're birth (no matter how far apart). All about temperament. Chinese go by sets of years. My guess is... and really, everything I'm writing here is a guess... you are what you take in with your first breath.

It's always easy to dismiss something you do not agree with. The nature of your disagreement however, could say something about yourself.
