What is my Chinese Zodiac?

The Chinese zodiac is an ancient system that assigns an animal and its reputed attributes to each year in a 12-year cycle. Unlike the Western zodiac, which is divided by months, the Chinese zodiac is based on years, with each year linked to a specific animal sign: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat (or Sheep), Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. This cycle is believed to influence the personality traits and fortune of individuals born in each year. The zodiac also plays a significant role in Chinese culture, festivities, and astrology. It is thought to have originated during the Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD) and has remained an integral part of Chinese identity and cultural expression, influencing people's lives, decisions, and relationships.
