How do I find my Chinese zodiac sign?

Enter your birth year into the calculator above. The Chinese zodiac assigns one of twelve animals to each year in a repeating 12-year cycle: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. If you were born in January or February, check whether your birthday falls before or after Chinese New Year, as the zodiac year boundary shifts each year.

Does my Chinese zodiac sign change based on my birth month?

Your zodiac animal is determined by your birth year, not your month. However, if you were born in January or early February, you may belong to the previous year's animal — the Chinese zodiac year starts at Lichun (Start of Spring, around February 3-5) in BaZi tradition, or at Chinese New Year in folk tradition.

What are the 12 Chinese zodiac animals in order?

The twelve Chinese zodiac animals in order are: Rat (鼠), Ox (牛), Tiger (虎), Rabbit (兔), Dragon (龍), Snake (蛇), Horse (馬), Goat (羊), Monkey (猴), Rooster (雞), Dog (狗), and Pig (豬). This sequence has remained unchanged for over 2,000 years.

Is Chinese zodiac the same as Western astrology?

No. Chinese zodiac uses a 12-year cycle of animals determined by birth year, combined with the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) and the Heavenly Stems system. Western astrology uses a 12-month cycle of constellations (Aries, Taurus, etc.) based on the sun's position at birth. The two systems are entirely independent.

What is the Chinese zodiac element for my birth year?

Each zodiac year has both an animal sign and one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), creating a 60-year cycle. The element comes from the Heavenly Stem of your birth year. Use the calculator above to find your specific element — for example, 1988 is an Earth Dragon while 2000 is a Metal Dragon.

中國生肖（生肖, Shēngxiào）是一個十二年循環的系統，每年對應一種動物。這個系統至少從漢代（公元前206年–公元220年）就開始持續使用，其起源可能更為久遠。點擊下方任何動物，閱讀其完整的性格分析。

中國生肖如何運作

中國生肖以十二年為一個循環，每年對應一種動物。但這個系統遠比動物本身更為深奧——每年還包括：

天干——十天干之一，決定年份的五行元素（木、火、土、金、水）及其陰陽極性
地支——十二地支之一，對應生肖動物
五行——來自天干的元素塑造性格與運勢，形成六十年一循環的獨特動物-元素組合

這意味著雖然您的生肖動物每12年重複一次，但完全相同的動物-元素組合每60年才重複一次。例如，1988年的土龍與2000年的金龍截然不同。
