The twelve animals
The Chinese zodiac runs in a twelve-year cycle, each year ruled by an animal with its own character. Your birth year sets your animal sign.
Animal and element
Each animal also carries one of five elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal or Water — which colors its nature. Together they describe your zodiac year.
