ZodiaziChinese Zodiac Calculator
Enter your date of birth. The calculator uses the start of the Chinese lunisolar year, so January and early February birthdays get the right animal.
Your date of birth is used only for this calculation. It is not stored and does not appear in the page address.
Find your Chinese zodiac animal, element and yin or yang from your date of birth, using the exact start of each Chinese year.
How it works
The calculator finds the Chinese year your birthday falls into, using the date of Chinese New Year. The year's Earthly Branch gives the animal, and its Heavenly Stem gives the element and yin or yang. Days are counted in Chinese time; the time and place of birth are not needed for the zodiac sign.
The calculator covers dates from 1 January 1901 to 31 December 2100.
