The Chinese zodiac year by year
The Chinese sign depends on the year of birth, but the Chinese year does not start on 1 January: it begins at Chinese New Year, between 21 January and 20 February. A baby born in January can therefore have the sign of the previous year.
| Year | Sign | Chinese year starts |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Tiger (Water) | 1 February 2022 |
| 2023 | Rabbit (Water) | 22 January 2023 |
| 2024 | Dragon (Wood) | 10 February 2024 |
| 2025 | Snake (Wood) | 29 January 2025 |
| 2026 | Horse (Fire) | 17 February 2026 |
| 2027 | Goat (Fire) | 6 February 2027 |

Let the family guess the birth date
With Pikki's guess the baby game, friends and family predict the date, weight or name. Who will get the sign right too?
How can I know my baby's sign before birth?
Enter the due date to get the most likely sign. Only about 4 to 5% of babies arrive on their due date, so check the neighbouring signs too if it falls close to a change.
Why can a January baby have the previous year’s Chinese sign?
Because the Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, between 21 January and 20 February. Before that date, it is still the previous year.
What about the rising sign?
The rising sign depends on the exact time and place of birth. This calculator gives the sun sign, the one people usually mean by "star sign".
