Bok (astrologie)

Die Bok (Chinees: 羊, yáng) is die agtste dier in die twaalfjaarlikse siklus van die Chinese astrologie, volgens die Chinese kalender. Dit hou ook verband met Oos-Asiatiese diereriem- en kalenderstelsels. Die Jaar van die Bok word verbind met die Aardse taksimbool 未.^[1]

Dit kan ook as Skaap of Ram vertaal word^[2]^[3] omdat die Chinese woord yáng meer akkuraat vertaal word as Caprinae, ’n takson wat beide bokke en skape insluit.^[4]
