Chinese zodiac

Enter your birth year: find your Chinese zodiac animal and its element.

What it's for

The Chinese zodiac assigns each year one of 12 animals, repeating in 12-year cycles, plus an element (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) over a 60-year cycle.

Note

The Chinese year doesn't start on January 1 but on Chinese New Year (late January/February): if you were born in the first days of the year, your sign may be the previous year's. Entertainment content.
