Chinese Zodiac Year Chart
For Famous Celebrities and
their Zodiac Signs, click here.
In traditional
China, the calendar is based on the lunar year, so the new year varies
from anywhere between January and February. A
popular folk method which reflected this cyclical method of recording years are
the Twelve Animal Signs. Every year is assigned an animal name or "sign"
according to a repeating cycle: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse,
Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Therefore, every twelve years the same
animal name or "sign" would reappear.
Those who are born between January and February will need to take special care
in the calculation of their zodiac sign. To get the exact zodiac year, see
the date range as shown below.
