Chinese zodiac 2021
The Chinese year of 2021 began on 12 February 2021 and ended on 31 January 2022. People born between those dates belong to the Metal Ox (辛丑).
Yin Metal
辛丑xīn-chǒu
Steady and patient. The Ox is admired for hard work and for keeping promises.
Chinese zodiac years change at the Lunar New Year, not on 1 January. If your birthday is before 12 February 2021, your sign is the one from the year before, the Metal Rat. If it is after, you are a Metal Ox.
