Find your Chinese zodiac animal based on your birth year, along with the general traits associated with it. Someone born in 1995 falls under the Pig, while someone born in 2000 falls under the Dragon — the 12-year cycle repeats continuously, so anyone born in years like 1983, 1995, 2007 or 2019 shares the same zodiac animal.

Frequently asked questions
How is the zodiac year determined?
It follows the traditional 12-year cycle based on the Chinese lunar calendar, tied to your birth year.
Does the zodiac year always match the Western calendar year?
Not exactly — since it follows the lunar calendar, the zodiac year can start slightly later than January 1st, usually between late January and mid-February.
What if I was born in January or early February?
You may actually belong to the previous year's zodiac sign if you were born before that year's Lunar New Year date — check the exact date for your birth year.
What are the 12 zodiac animals in order?
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig, repeating every 12 years.
