Chinese Zodiac Cycle Explorer
Explore the animal, element, polarity and stem of a Chinese cycle year.
This is a calendar-cycle lookup, not a birth-date zodiac calculation. Chinese New Year and Li Chun boundaries are not January 1.

What this tool does
The result uses the sexagenary year sequence and the conventional 1984 Jia-Zi (Wood Rat) anchor. It returns a cycle designation for the entered year; this alone does not determine the animal sign of a person born near a year boundary.
