It's your Chinese year of birth that determines your Chinese animal sign as well as your Chinese cosmic element.There are five elements in all: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water. Every set of two consecutive years is governed by a Chinese cosmic element. Chinese years also evolve in cycles of ten years each.The Chinese zodiac is a cycle of twelve Chinese years placed under the signs of the twelve following symbolic animals: Rat, Buffalo (or Ox), Tiger, Cat (or Rabbit or Hare), Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat (or Sheep or Ram), Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig (or Boar).The Chinese New Year's day, therefore, is movable - just as Easter Day, which is also tributary of the moon - and takes place somewhere between January 21 and February 20 according to astronomic circumstances. Any Chinese year invariably begins with the second new-moon day after the winter solstice.
