Calculate Your Chinese Zodiac Sign

The Chinese Zodiac is an ancient system that assigns an animal sign to each year in a 12-year cycle. Your sign is determined by the year of your birth and is believed to influence personality, destiny, and compatibility.

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter Your Birth Year: Type the year you were born in the “Birth Year” field.
2. Calculate: Click the “Calculate” button to reveal your Chinese Zodiac sign.

Understanding Your Result

Once you input your birth year and hit calculate, the calculator will display your Chinese Zodiac sign. Each sign has unique characteristics and is associated with specific years. For example, if you were born in 1990, your Chinese Zodiac sign would be Horse. The cycle repeats every 12 years, so those born in 2002 or 1982 would also be under the sign of Horse.
