How Does the Chinese Zodiac Calculation Work?
The Chinese zodiac is based on the lunar calendar, not the Gregorian calendar. Each zodiac sign corresponds to a specific year, and the transition occurs on Chinese New Year (Spring Festival), which falls between January 21 and February 20.
- If you were born before the Spring Festival, you belong to the previous year's zodiac sign.
- For example, if you were born in January or February, your sign depends on whether your birth date is before or after the lunar new year.
- This calculator uses accurate lunar new year dates from 1900 to 2035.
