The twelve signs
Each Chinese year has one of twelve animal signs. Pick one for its friends, its enemy, its years and what it is like.
Your birth date gives your sign, your numbers and your best dates.
Find your sign by birth year
Born between 1 January and 20 February: you may be the sign of the year before. Chinese New Year falls between 21 January and 20 February, so if you were born before 21 January, you always are. Each sign's page has the exact dates.
