The Chinese zodiac, also known as Shengxiao, is a 12-year cycle where each year is represented by a specific animal. Unlike Western astrology which uses birth month, Chinese zodiac calculation by date considers your birth year according to the lunar calendar.
For over 2,000 years, Chinese zodiac by date has been used to understand personality traits, predict compatibility, and guide important life decisions. Our calculator by birthday helps you find your exact zodiac animal instantly.
Each of the 12 animals (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig) governs one year in the cycle. Your birth date determines which animal influences your personality and fortune.
