Zodiac year, or Ben Ming Nian, is any year of your Chinese zodiac animal sign, determined by your birth year. As there are 12 animal signs, a year of your birth sign comes once per 12-year-cycle: when you are (about) 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, and so on.


When is your Zodiac Year?


Your zodiac year starts from Chinese New Year and ends on the last day of the Chinese lunar year (Chinese New Year's Eve). For example, 2020 is a year of the Rat, and Rats' zodiac year starts from Chinese New Year 2020 (January 25th), and ends on February 11th, 2021.
