The Chinese zodiac follows the lunar new year: January and early-February birthdays may belong to the previous animal.

About Zodiac Sign Calculator

The zodiac sign calculator tells you which western zodiac sign and which Chinese zodiac animal belong to your date of birth. Enter one date and you get both systems side by side: your star sign with its element and polarity, and your Chinese animal with its element from the five-phase cycle.

Western signs follow fixed date ranges through the solar year — Aries starts the cycle in late March, Pisces closes it. The Chinese zodiac works differently: it assigns one of twelve animals to each lunar year, paired with one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) that repeat on a sixty-year cycle.

Use it to answer the classic “what is my zodiac sign” question, check a friend’s sign before a birthday, or find the animal for a birth year. The lookup runs instantly in your browser and includes the personality traits traditionally linked to each sign and animal.

How to use Zodiac Sign Calculator

  1. Pick your date of birth in the date field.
  2. Read your western zodiac sign with its date range, element, polarity, and traits.
  3. Check the Chinese zodiac card for your animal, its element, and yin or yang polarity.
  4. Born near a sign boundary or in January or February? Read the cusp and lunar-new-year notes to see whether the neighboring sign or previous animal may apply.

Frequently asked questions

By the position of the sun on your birthday. Each of the twelve signs covers roughly one month — Aries from about March 21 to April 19, and so on around the year. Only the day and month matter, not the year.

The exact moment the sun changes signs shifts slightly from year to year and depends on the hour of birth. If your birthday falls on a boundary date, both neighboring signs may apply — the calculator flags this for you.

The Chinese zodiac follows the lunar calendar, and the new year starts between late January and mid-February. If you were born in January or early February, you may belong to the previous year’s animal.

Western signs group into four elements — Fire, Earth, Air, and Water — with three signs each. The Chinese system uses five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) that rotate through the years, so each animal-element pairing recurs every sixty years.
