Today's video will discuss The 12 Chinese Astrology Signs and What They Mean for You.
What’s Your Zodiac Sign?
Your birth year determines your Chinese zodiac sign, but it can get tricky, as the lunar calendar varies from the solar, or Gregorian, calendar.
Because the dates of Chinese New Year change every year, individuals born in January or February will need to pay special attention to their birth date in addition to their birth year.
What is my Chinese astrology sign, and what does it mean?
1. Rat
Birth years of the Rat: 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Next year of the Rat: 2032,
“We normally say Rat is smart, charming, and imaginative. “That’s how he got first place.” The Rat secured first place in the emperor’s legendary race by riding on the back of the Ox, and jumping off just in time to cross the finish line. This enviable wit is a source of pride for people of this Chinese astrology sign. As it happens, Rat is most compatible with Ox, as well as with Dragon and Monkey.
2. Ox
Birth years of the Ox: 1913, 1925, 1937,1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009
Next year of the Ox: 2021
Duped by the Rat, the Ox came in second place. “Ox is very determined and generous and patient. “Ox is also considered very hardworking.” Those virtues will help people born in Ox years through 2021, the year of the Metal Ox, because in Chinese astrology, your year is actually considered unlucky. That’s because being born is said to antagonize a Chinese god of fortune named Tai Sui, earning you his curse. “He’s going to be against you.“You’re trying to fight that monster.” One way to ward off the evils of your birth year is to wear red, an auspicious color in Chinese culture. Snakes, Rats, and Roosters are the best matches for an Ox.
3. Tiger
Birth years of the Tiger: 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010
Next year of the Tiger: 2022
“The third one is Tiger.“Tiger is very adventurous. [Chinese] consider people in that year very lucky. The negative side is that Tigers can be kind of dramatic and cocky.” Interestingly, Forbes once did a study of the 400 richest Americans and found a disproportionately large number of them were Tiger babies! Tiger goes well with Dragon, Horse, and Pig.
4. Rabbit
Birth years of the Rabbit: 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011

Following the Tiger is the Rabbit. People born in Rabbit years are described as smart, kind, and docile. Rabbits do not get along with Snakes, which knows from personal experience. Rabbits are said to get along famously with Dogs, Goats, Monkeys, and Pigs.
5. Dragon
Birth years of the Dragon: 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012
Next year of the Dragon: 2024
Dragons are incredibly important to Chinese culture, so naturally, the Dragon is a very popular Chinese astrology sign. “Dragon is warmhearted and enthusiastic. The birth rate will actually even increase during that year because everyone wants a Dragon baby. “There is such a huge competition when Dragon babies need to go to college, because [they] are facing more competitors.” She also notes that Jack Ma, owner of Alibaba and one of the richest men in China, is a Dragon. Dragons pair best with Roosters, Rats, and Monkeys.

Next year of the Snake: 2025
Next up: the Snake. “We say that Snake is like the mini Dragon, so that is very popular as well. “They’re very curious and wise, but they can also be jealous and greedy. Snake goes really well with Ox” Dragons and Roosters are optimal matches for a Snake.
