Chinese Zodiac Year Lookup
The animal repeats every 12 years; the full stem-branch name repeats every 60. This is arithmetic on Gregorian year numbers, calculated in the browser, not a birth chart or prediction.
Cycle example: 2026 corresponds to Horse and the Chinese year name 丙午, read Bing-Wu. 2014 is also Horse, but its year name is 甲午. This page does not list neighbouring same-animal years.
A year alone cannot determine a birthday near Chinese New Year or the Lichun solar term. Check the full date using the relevant calendar convention. This site's solar-to-lunar converter supports 1900–2100 only and does not resolve a Lichun-based year boundary.
