The Chinese Zodiac is based off of birth years. Similar to astrology, it follows a cycle of twelve.
To figure out your Chinese Zodiac, look at your birth year. You can go backwards or forwards by subtracting or adding twelve. The Chinese New Year falls at the end of January or February, so you may want to keep that in mind!
