What Is Your Chinese Zodiac Sign?(Don’t Get It Wrong)

Chinese zodiac signs are primarily based on the Chinese calendar. The Chinese Zodiac is a 12-year cycle. Each year in the cycle is related to an animal, which is said to influence people born within that year profoundly. But do you know your exact sign?

It might seem a simple question to most of us since we can match our birth year or use the lunar new year’s first day to determine our Chinese Zodiac. But the real method is that we need to use Li Chun day instead. Still, things get complicated if you are born in January or February because the date of li Chun (立春) is different every year.

Those born before Li Chun day belong to the Chinese Zodiac of the previous year. For example, those born on 10 January 1980 belong to the Goat Chinese Zodiac sign, not the Monkey.

However, some people still need clarification about which Zodiac they belong to, so we crafted a simple yet comprehensive chart to guide you.

When Do You Use The Chinese Zodiac Sign?

Once you get the right Chinese Zodiac sign, you can use it to explore your personality, inner traits, annual zodiac sign forecast, zodiac compatibility and others.

1. Know Yourself

Knowing your Chinese zodiac sign is important because it can help you understand yourself better and make decisions that will improve your life.

For example, the personality traits of each animal are associated with the following:

• Rat – intelligent, quick-witted
• Ox – hardworking and patient
• Tiger – courageous and ambitious
• Rabbit – gentle and kind
• Dragon – ambitious and confident
• Snake – sophisticated and eloquent
• Horse – brave and determined
• Goat – humble and cooperative
• Monkey – mischievous and curious
• Rooster – observant and hardworking
• Dog – honest, loyal, dependable
• Pig – self-disciplined and straightforward

However, all these traits are generalized and if you are keen to understand more about yourself, use Bazi or Zi Wei Dou Shu instead. It is because it is calculated based on your birth date and time.

2. Read The Annual Chinese Zodiac Forecast

The Chinese zodiac is a traditional practice people have used for many centuries to predict events and happenings in the future. You can use it if you know what they can expect from their lives in different aspects like love life or career in the coming year. However, since it is a general prediction, you can take it with a pinch of salt.

3. Compatibility in Love, Career and Friends

Many people use this system to study the compatibility of two people based on their zodiac signs. Therefore, you can use it to find out your best match or what kind of person you will get along with. Do you know that some bosses even go to the extent of employing people that are compatible with their zodiac sign?
