Your birth year

Solar year — before early Feb counts as the prior animal
Enter your birth year and press Reveal.
In brief
Your Chinese zodiac sign is the animal of your birth year on the twelve-year cycle, carrying a fixed element and yin or yang polarity. It shapes temperament and how you relate to others, and the zodiac year turns at the solar new year in early February, not January 1.
Frequently asked
Does the Chinese zodiac year start on January 1?
No. The zodiac year turns at the Chinese solar new year in early February, so people born in January or very early February usually belong to the previous year's animal. FengSpark accounts for this.
What are my best-matched animals?
Your two trine (Three Harmony) partners and your Six-Harmony animal are your most natural allies, while the animal directly opposite you on the wheel is your clash, the relationship that needs the most patience.
Is the zodiac animal the whole of Chinese astrology?
No, it is the coarsest layer. Your full BaZi, the four pillars and especially your Day Master, describes character and destiny in far more depth. The animal is a quick, friendly starting point.
