Zodiac Tools

Calculators and guides for the Chinese zodiac. Each tool shows how it works, runs in your browser and keeps your date private.

The Chinese zodiac assigns an animal, an element and a polarity to every year, and people have used it for centuries to talk about character and compatibility. It is cultural tradition, not science, and our pages say so plainly. What we can promise is correct dates, a clear explanation of every step and no tracking.

How our dates are calculated

The Chinese New Year dates on these pages are calculated from astronomy (the moments of the new moon and the position of the sun, counted in China Standard Time) and checked against dates known independently. The result is the exact start and end of every Chinese year from 1900 to 2100, which is what decides your sign.

For culture and entertainment. The Chinese zodiac is a traditional system of folklore and symbolism. It cannot predict events, and it is not medical, financial, legal or relationship advice. See the full disclaimer.
