Your astrological Chinese sign

Your sign is related to your date of birth.

The year of the DOG is finished. Since February, 18 , we are in the year of the PIG.

A Chinese year doesn't start at set dates, as it is the case with our western calendar, but it starts at new moon. It is the same for the months, which can be described as "lunar months".
The year of the Pig started on February, 18 and it will end on February 06 2008.

The Chinese signs of the zodiac refer to animals. But the particularities ascribed to each one are somewhat different from our western ideas. Thus, in Chinese astrology, the Snake or the Rat can represent good powers whereas we generally don't ascribe these qualities to them.
