FunHow to use this tool
Find the Western star sign and Chinese zodiac animal for a birthday. The Western sign comes from the date, the Chinese animal from the year in a repeating twelve-year cycle.

- STEP 3Read the Western sign and the Chinese animal side by side.
The Chinese animal is taken from the calendar year. Births in January and early February fall before the lunar new year, so the animal for those dates belongs to the previous cycle year.

Frequently asked questions
Why do cusp dates vary by a day between sources?
Sign boundaries track the sun's position, which shifts a little each year. Fixed-date tables round to the most common boundary.
Why might my Chinese animal look wrong?
The Chinese new year falls between 21 January and 20 February. A birthday before it belongs to the previous animal, and this tool uses the calendar year as an approximation.
