Chinese Zodiac Year Chart-Canadian Immigrant Magazine

Chinese Zodiac Year Chart For Famous Celebrities and their Zodiac Signs, click here.

In traditional China, the calendar is based on the lunar year, so the new year varies from anywhere between January and February. A popular folk method which reflected this cyclical method of recording years are the Twelve Animal Signs. Every year is assigned an animal name or "sign" according to a repeating cycle: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Therefore, every twelve years the same animal name or "sign" would reappear.

Those who are born between January and February will need to take special care in the calculation of their zodiac sign. To get the exact zodiac year, see the date range as shown below.
