Are You a Rooster?

People born in a year of the Rooster are called “Roosters” in China. However, Rooster years are generally dated by the Chinese lunar calendar (starting on Chinese New Year), so if you were born in January or February, use the tool on the right to see whether you’re a Rooster, according to “popular astrology”.

(Conventional Chinese astrologers consider zodiac years to start and end within a day of February 4 — ‘Start of Spring’ according to the traditional Chinese solar calendar.)

2017 Is a Fire Rooster Year
In Chinese element theory, each zodiac year is associated with one of five elements: Gold (Metal), Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth, which means that a Fire Rooster, for example, comes once every 60-year cycle.
