Questions

How do I find my Chinese zodiac year?

Find your birth year in the chart. If you were born in January or February, check the start date: if your birthday is before that year’s Chinese New Year, your sign is the one in the row below, from the previous year.

Why does the Chinese zodiac year start on a different date each year?

Chinese New Year follows the lunisolar Chinese calendar. It usually falls on the second new moon after the December solstice, which always lands between January 21 and February 20.

Find your sign from your exact birth date with the Chinese zodiac calculator.
