About Chinese Zodiac
The Chinese zodiac (Shengxiao) is a 12-year cycle where each year is represented by an animal. Your birth year determines your zodiac sign. The order is: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
Note: Chinese New Year falls between late January and mid-February. If you were born in January or early February, check the exact date to confirm your sign.
