FAQ
Why does my January birthday give a different animal than I expected?+
Chinese zodiac follows the lunar calendar, not Jan 1. New year falls between Jan 21 and Feb 20. If you're born before lunar new year, you're the previous year's animal.
What about the element?+
Heavenly stem cycle. Each animal pairs with an element for a 60-year cycle. 1985 was Wood Ox, 2045 will be the next Wood Ox.
