How the Chinese zodiac works
The Chinese zodiac assigns one of twelve animals to each year in a repeating cycle: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Each animal is also linked to one of five elements, and the full combination of animal and element returns every 60 years.
Because the zodiac year starts on Lunar New Year, which falls between late January and mid-February, people born early in the calendar year often belong to the previous animal. That's why the calculator above asks for your full birth date.
