Chinese Year Chart

Finding Your Animal Year using the Chinese Year Chart

Use the Chinese Year Chart below to find when you were born. This chart also allows you to see your Element and Aspect as it relates to Chinese Astrology. If you were born in the months of January or February you need to pay close attention to the beginning and ending dates of the year because they do not correlate directly with our year. (Remember, the Chinese celebrate the Lunar New Year, not the Julian Calendar New Year.)
