Editorial approach
Clear answers.
Thoughtful context.
We keep the language modern and approachable while respecting the depth and variety of Chinese zodiac traditions.
How the calculator works
The calculator uses the browser’s Chinese calendar to identify the lunar year for a selected birth date. That matters because the Chinese New Year falls between late January and late February rather than on a fixed Gregorian date.
How we write about signs
Our stories draw on the familiar zodiac race legend and commonly shared traditional associations. We use words such as “often linked with” and “traditionally associated with” because interpretations vary across regions, families, and schools of thought.
Independence and transparency
Lunar Zodiac is an independent educational project. If advertising is added in the future, ads will be clearly separated from editorial content. We do not accept payment in exchange for changing a sign’s description or ranking.
