What Are Chinese Zodiac Signs?
In the grand theatre of celestial traditions, the Chinese Zodiac occupies a deeply symbolic and venerable space. Steeped in ancient wisdom and elegance, this 12-animal cycle not only shapes individual personality insights but also dictates relationship compatibility, fortune, and life paths with a grace unique to Eastern astrology. But how many and which zodiac signs are there, what exactly is your Chinese Zodiac sign,and how do you calculate it with precision?
Unlike Western astrology, which assigns zodiac signs based on twelve months of the Gregorian calendar, the Chinese zodiac is woven into the rhythm of the lunar calendar, following a 12-year cycle. Each year is governed by one of twelve animals: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
How To Calculate Your Chinese Zodiac Sign?
Rinhee shared that your Chinese zodiac sign is determined by your birth year, not your birth month. However, there’s a delightful complexity to this: because the Chinese Lunar New Year typically falls between 21 January and 20 February, those born in these early months should consult a proper zodiac year chart to determine whether they belong to the outgoing or incoming animal year.
