  1. Know the two zodiacs

    The star sign follows the Sun through 12 signs, so it depends only on the day and month: Leo runs from 23 July to 22 August. The Chinese zodiac gives each lunar year one of 12 animals, so it depends on the year.

    Star sign = day and month; Chinese zodiac = lunar year.
    Star sign = day and month; Chinese zodiac = lunar year.

  4. Check Lunar New Year

    The lunar year starts on Lunar New Year, between 21 January and 20 February. 9 February 2024 is still the Rabbit, because the Dragon year began on 10 February. The tool says when a birthday falls before it.

    9 Feb 2024 = Rabbit; 10 Feb 2024 = Dragon (Lunar New Year).

  5. Read the element and year name

    Each year has an element (wood, fire, earth, metal or water) and is yin or yang; with the animal they form a 60-year cycle such as 甲辰 (wood Dragon) for 2024.

  6. Check edge dates and copy
