The Chinese Zodiac consists of a 12 year cycle, each
year of which is named after a different animal that imparts distinct characteristics
to its year. This calendar is based on the cycles of the moon. Many Chinese
believe that the year of a person's birth is the primary factor in determining
that person's personality traits, physical and mental attributes and degrees
of success and happiness throughout his lifetime. To learn about your Animal
Sign, find the year of your birth among the 12 signs running about the
border. If born before 1936, add 12 to the year you were born to find your
year.
