Background
The Chinese zodiac assigns an animal and its reputed attributes to each year in a repeating twelve-year cycle based on the Chinese calendar. It remains popular across East, Central and Southeast Asia.
How it works
Your lunar birth year gives your animal sign; the twelve branches combine with the ten Heavenly Stems in a sixty-year cycle, and each sign is associated with the Five Elements.
