How the calculator works
How does a Chinese zodiac calculator work?
It matches your date of birth to the Chinese lunar year you were born in. Each lunar year is ruled by one of twelve animals, so the calculator uses the Lunar New Year boundary rather than January 1 to find your sign.
What is my sign if I was born in January or February?
Births before Lunar New Year belong to the previous zodiac year. This calculator applies the exact lunar boundary for each year, so January and early February birthdays are assigned correctly.
What is my Chinese zodiac element?
Every zodiac year is also linked to one of the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal or Water, on a sixty-year cycle. The calculator shows the element traditionally associated with your birth year.
