The date boundary matters

The Lunar New Year in 2007 began on February 18, 2007. If your birthday was earlier, use the previous zodiac year instead of the Gregorian year alone.

This page uses the Lunar New Year boundary for a clear, consistent cultural experience. Some schools use the Start of Spring, which can produce a different answer near the boundary.

Animal + element, not animal alone

The twelve zodiac animals are paired with five elements in a repeating sixty-year cycle. That is why two people with the same animal but different birth years can receive different element themes.

These descriptions are cultural and artistic interpretations for reflection and entertainment—not scientific personality tests or predictions.

Why can two zodiac websites disagree?

Chinese zodiac years do not begin on January 1. Some traditions also use the Start of Spring, so boundary dates and the stated method matter.
