Our software determines your Chinese zodiac animal using the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. Unlike the standard calendar year, the Chinese zodiac year begins on Lunar New Year, which falls on a different date in January or February each year.
Your Chinese zodiac sign is based on your exact birth date, not only your birth year. This is especially important for anyone born in January or February.
