About Chinese Zodiac

The Chinese Zodiac is a traditional system of assigning an animal to each year in a 12-year cycle. Each animal represents different personality traits and characteristics. The cycle begins with the Rat and continues through the Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.

The Chinese Zodiac is based on a lunar calendar, which means the year starts on the new moon after the winter solstice. People born between January 1 and January 19 are usually considered to have the zodiac sign of the year they were born in, while those born after January 20 are considered to have the zodiac sign of the following year.
