What’s Your Chinese Zodiac Animal? – 12 Zodiac Animal Signs
People’s birth years determine their Chinese zodiac signs. However, it’s not quite that simple. Each year is represented by one of twelve animals, but the “year” follows the Chinese lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar from January 1 to December 31.
Chinese Lunar New Year usually falls in January or February, and the exact date changes every year. If you were born between March and December, identifying your zodiac sign is generally straightforward. But if your birthday is in January or February, you may need to check whether the Lunar New Year had already begun that year to avoid choosing the wrong sign.
You can use a zodiac calculator to confirm your animal sign. Simply enter your Gregorian birth date, and it will convert it into the lunar calendar and show your correct zodiac animal.
