Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Chinese zodiac calculated?▼
The 12-year cycle follows the lunar calendar: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, pig. The year switches at Chinese New Year (or Lichun, Feb 4). 2025 is the Year of the Snake.
What if I was born in January or February?▼
Check carefully — the zodiac year begins around Feb 4, not Jan 1. A January 1990 birthday belongs to the Snake, not the Horse.
