Frequently asked questions
How is my Chinese zodiac animal decided?▾
By the lunar year you were born in. The year starts at Lunar New Year (late January to mid February), so people born in January or early February may belong to the previous year's animal.
What are the five elements?▾
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Each element lasts two years and the full cycle of 12 animals and 5 elements repeats every 60 years.
What does yin or yang mean in my sign?▾
Even lunar years are yang (active, outgoing) and odd lunar years are yin (receptive, calm).
Which animals are compatible?▾
Traditionally animals four years apart (the same trine) get along best, plus one 'secret friend'. The animal six years away is the clash.
Is the Chinese zodiac scientific?▾
No, it is a cultural tradition and is for fun only.
