The Chinese year does not begin on 1 January
Chinese New Year changes date and can fall between late January and mid-February. That is why using only the birth year fails for many people: someone born in January 1990, for example, may still belong to the 1989 animal.
12 animalsThey repeat in a fixed cycle and describe the main archetype.
5 elementsMetal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth add nuance to every animal.
Yin y YangThey alternate each year and show how energy tends to express itself.
Three layers that form one profile
The animal is the best-known layer, but it is not the whole story. Two people born under the same animal can express it differently because element and polarity reshape its character.
The animal
It is the main archetype: your instincts, natural way of relating, and the qualities you develop most easily.
El elemento
Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, or Earth adds a decisive nuance, making the same animal more flexible, energetic, stable, creative, or determined.
Yin or Yang
It shows the direction of energy. Yin tends to process before acting; Yang tends to project outward and take initiative.
