Aurapure
Chinese zodiac
Year animal, Wu Xing element, and Yin/Yang polarity from the sexagenary (Ganzhi) cycle, with verified Chinese New Year boundaries — structural data, not predictions.
Quick answer
Your Chinese zodiac sign is the animal of the lunar year you were born in: 2026, for example, is the Fire Horse year (from 17 February 2026). Aurapure computes it deterministically — animal (生肖), Wu Xing element and Yin/Yang polarity from the sexagenary (Ganzhi) cycle — using verified Chinese New Year dates (lunisolar calendar). It is not a predictive horoscope: structural tradition data, with the affinity trines and the opposite animal.

Frequently asked questions
- Why doesn't January match the Gregorian year's animal?
- The animal changes at Chinese New Year (first day of the first lunar month), not 1 January. People born in January or early February often belong to the previous year's animal.
- What does birth time calculate?
- Optionally the hour animal (时辰): one of 12 two-hour earthly-branch slots. Not a forecast — a traditional cycle datum.
- Is this a future horoscope?
- No. We only show animals, elements, polarity, trines, and opposition — definitions of the 12-year cycle, with no predictive interpretations.
- Which animal is 2026?
- 2026 is the year of the Fire Horse (Yang), starting from Chinese New Year on 17 February 2026. Anyone born before that date still belongs to the year of the Snake.
- Which Chinese signs are compatible?
- Tradition groups the 12 animals into four affinity triads (三合): Rat-Dragon-Monkey, Ox-Snake-Rooster, Tiger-Horse-Dog, Rabbit-Goat-Pig. The opposite animal is six years away on the wheel. These are structural definitions of the cycle, not a forecast.
