Find your Chinese zodiac sign and element

• Your sign comes from the lunar year, not January 1.
• Born in late January or February? Your sign can flip.
• Your element is tied to the same birth year.

The five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) add a second layer to your animal sign. Think of the element as the "tone" of your year.

Example: both 2014 and 2026 are Horse years, but 2014 is Wood Horse while 2026 is Fire Horse.

Use the calculator on the main Chinese zodiac page to get your sign and element.
