Welcome to the world of the Chinese zodiac! If you're not familiar with it, the Chinese zodiac or shengxiao (/shnng-sshyao/ 'born resembling'), is a system of divination that assigns a different animal to each year in a repeating 12-year cycle. It's a way of understanding ourselves and the people around us by tapping into the traits and characteristics of these animals. But it's not all serious business – the Chinese zodiac is also a source of fun and entertainment, with its animal signs appearing in all sorts of art, literature, and media. So, whether you're a rat, a dragon, a goat, or something else entirely, we hope you'll join us in celebrating the rich cultural tradition of the Chinese zodiac!

So, what animal sign are you? Let's find out!

2023 is the year of the rabbit

The year of the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac is a time when people are believed to be more calm, gentle, and kind. These are all great qualities to have, and if you were born during a year of the rabbit, you might have some of these traits! Some other years of the rabbit include: 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, and 2011. It's always interesting to think about how astrology and the movements of the stars might influence our lives and personalities. Whether you believe in astrology or not, it can be fun to explore the different animal signs and see which one you relate to the most!
