Chinese Zodiac Today

Your animal comes from the year you were born. Today has an animal and an element of its own — the reading is what happens when the two meet.

Today is 壬戌 — a Water day. ·

Pick your sign

No birth date, no sign-up. Just your animal.

Not sure which one is yours?

Enter your birth date. The saju year turns at 입춘 (start of spring, around 4 February) rather than on 1 January, so a January birthday belongs to the previous year's animal.

Your birth date (solar calendar)

We keep nothing. The date only travels in the address bar.

Your sign is one of twelve.

A zodiac animal is your birth year — one of the four pillars. Your birth month, day and hour add three more, and together they narrow twelve outcomes down to something much smaller. That reading is not the same as this one.

Questions people ask

Is my zodiac animal decided on 1 January?
No. The saju year begins at 입춘, the start of spring, which falls on 3–5 February depending on the year. If you were born in January or the first days of February, your animal is the previous year's. That is why the finder above asks for the full date and not just the year.
Why does the reading change every day?
Each day has its own pillar — a heavenly stem and an earthly branch, with an element attached. Your sign also has an element and a branch. The reading is the relationship between the two, so it changes as the day changes, and it is the same for everyone who shares your sign.
Is a zodiac reading the same as a saju reading?
No, and it is worth being plain about it. A zodiac reading uses one of your four pillars, so twelve people out of twelve get twelve answers. A full saju reading uses your birth date and hour as well, which is a far narrower picture. This page is the free doorway to that.
Do you use a random number anywhere?
No. Everything here is worked out from your animal and the date. Reload the page as often as you like — it will say the same thing until the day turns at midnight Korean time.

Saju is a tradition of interpretation, not a prediction of fact. Read it as a way of framing your day, not as advice for medical, legal or financial decisions.
