Find your Chinese zodiac sign by birth year — 1924 through 2031, all 12 signs on a repeating 12-year cycle.
Each animal governs one calendar year, then the cycle repeats every 12 years in the same order. The highlighted year is 2027, the Year of the Goat.
Jan/Feb caveat: Chinese New Year doesn't fall on January 1 — it moves between January 21 and February 20. If you were born in January or early-to-mid February, this year-based chart may be off by one sign for your specific birth date. Use the site's exact zodiac calculator for a Spring-Festival-accurate result.

The 12 signs repeat in the same order every 12 years — Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig — so your sign also governed the years 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 years before or after your birth year.
Most disagreement comes from the Jan/Feb boundary — some simplified charts assume the zodiac year starts January 1, when it actually starts on the Chinese New Year date (which falls between January 21 and February 20). Anyone born before that year's Chinese New Year is technically still in the previous animal's year.
If your birthday falls in January or early-to-mid February, this simplified year-based chart may not be accurate — you need the exact Chinese New Year date for your birth year to know for certain. Use the site's exact zodiac calculator, which handles the Spring Festival boundary precisely using your full birth date.
2027 is the Year of the Goat — specifically a Fire Goat year, since the Chinese calendar also cycles through five elements alongside the 12 animals. It begins on Chinese New Year, February 6, 2027.
