About Chinese Zodiac
The Chinese zodiac is a 12-year cycle where each year is associated with an animal sign. Combined with the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), this creates a 60-year grand cycle. Your animal sign is determined by your birth year, though those born in January or February may fall under the previous year's sign, as Chinese New Year falls between late January and mid-February.
