Chinese Zodiac Sign
Here is a fun depiction of the Chinese lunar years broken down by animals.
The twelve Chinese zodiac animals are Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig, Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, and Dragon.
Each year the Chinese New Year changes from one zodiac animal to the next. That next year is in celebration of the new animal and the personality it possesses.
Some in Chinese mythology (Chinese astrology) that those people born in the year of a specific animal's year possess personality traits similar to that animal's sign within the zodiac year.
