How to Confirm Your Chinese Zodiac Sign?

The Chinese Zodiac is based on a 12-year cycle, with each year represented by an animal. These animals in order are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. The Chinese Zodiac changes on Lunar New Year. 

Below are two simple ways to find your zodiac sign:

Method 1:
For most years, you can calculate the remainder of (birth year - 4) divided by 12, then match it to the sign order:
•    Remainder 0 → Rat
•    Remainder 1 → Ox
•    Remainder 2 → Tiger
•    Remainder 3 → Rabbit
•    Remainder 4 → Dragon
•    Remainder 5 → Snake
•    Remainder 6 → Horse
•    Remainder 7 → Goat
•    Remainder 8 → Monkey
•    Remainder 9 → Rooster
•    Remainder 10 → Dog
•    Remainder 11 → Pig

Example: Birth year 1990
(1990 - 4) ÷ 12 = 1986 ÷ 12 = 165 with remainder 6 → Zodiac: Horse.
