Chinese zodiac

Chinese New Year, 1920 to 2044

Your Chinese sign depends on your birth year, but the Chinese year does not start on 1 January: it starts at the Lunar New Year, between 21 January and 20 February. A birth in January or February may therefore belong to the previous year's sign. Find your year, then compare your birth date with the New Year.
