Frequently asked questions
How is my star sign determined?
Western astrology assigns a sign to each range of dates — for example, Aries runs from March 21 to April 19. The sign boundaries shift by a day or so between years, so dates near a cusp can vary.
How is my Chinese zodiac animal determined?
The Chinese zodiac cycles through twelve animals, changing at Lunar New Year rather than January 1. The animal repeats every twelve years.
What is the Chinese zodiac element?
A ten-year cycle pairs each animal with one of five elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal or Water — so a full cycle of animal plus element takes sixty years.
