Chinese Zodiac
The Chinese zodiac is a repeating 12-year cycle in which each year is associated with one of twelve animals: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Unlike Western astrology, which is based on the date of birth within a calendar year, the Chinese zodiac follows the lunar calendar cycle — Chinese New Year shifts each year, falling between late January and mid-February.
Each animal carries unique personality traits that, according to tradition, influence the character, relationships, and destiny of those born under it. Beyond the 12 animals, each year is also associated with one of five elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water — creating a full 60-year cycle.
