Source-linked guide · Updated 28 September 2026The cycle used by this site is Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. It repeats every twelve years. English labels can differ; you may see Sheep or Ram where this interface says Goat.
A result such as “Year of the Horse” tells you where the selected birthday falls in our calendar convention. It does not show how a person behaves, whom they should marry, or what will happen to them.
