Frequently asked questions
How is the Chinese zodiac determined?
It cycles through 12 animals by year; note the Chinese New Year start is not accounted for, so early-year dates are approximate.
What if my date is near a boundary?
Dates on the cusp use the standard sign ranges; the matching sign's date range is shown alongside it.
