About Chinese Zodiac
The Chinese zodiac (Shengxiao) is a 12-year cycle, with each year represented by an animal. The cycle began in 4 CE.
Combined with the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), the complete cycle is 60 years (12 animals × 5 elements).
Note: Chinese New Year falls between January 21 and February 20. If born before Chinese New Year, use the previous year for your zodiac.
