About the Chinese Zodiac
The Chinese Zodiac is a 12-year cycle where each year is represented by an animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Your zodiac animal influences personality, career aptitude, relationship compatibility, and annual fortune.
Unlike Western astrology based on birth month, the Chinese Zodiac uses the birth year — with the year starting at Lichun (Start of Spring, around February 3-5), not January 1. For a more precise analysis, try our free Bazi Calculator which uses all four pillars of your birth chart.
