Chinese Zodiac Calculator FAQ

Q1: What is the Chinese Zodiac based on?
A: It’s a 12-year cycle, where each year is represented by an animal sign. The cycle repeats every 12 years and starts with the Rat.

Q2: What if I were born in January or February?
A: The Chinese zodiac is based on the lunar calendar, so if you're born before the Chinese New Year (which changes yearly), you might belong to the previous year's sign. This calculator assumes birth after the Lunar New Year.

Q3: Is this tool accurate for determining compatibility or fate?
A: It's intended for entertainment and cultural exploration. While based on traditional beliefs, it doesn’t predict real-world outcomes.

Q4: Can I use this for others?
A: Absolutely! Just enter anyone's birth year to discover their Chinese zodiac sign and traits.

Q5: Are personality traits the same for everyone with the same sign?
A: Not exactly. The zodiac gives a general idea of traits, but each individual is shaped by more than just their birth year, such as environment, upbringing, and personal choices.
