Here is the Chinese sign attributed to your year of birth, by cycles of 12 years. Be careful: we go here with the Chinese solar calendar that generally goes from the 4th of February to the next 4th of February to cover one Chinese year. So for example:
- If you are born on the 27th of January 1977, you are still a Dragon (year 1976).
- If you are born on or after February the 4th 1977, you are a Snake.
