WHAT CHINESE ZODIAC ANIMAL AM I?
The Chinese animal zodiac or shengxiao, which means "born resembling", is arranged in a repeating cycle of 12 years.
It therefore features 12 different animals.
The animal changes at the beginning of the Chinese New Year, and traditionally these animals were used to date the years.
However, Chinese New Year is a movable celebration, dictated by the lunar cycle.
January 24 is a new moon and the celebrations last until February 8, around the time of the full moon.
In 2021 the celebration, also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, will take place on February 12.
The ox is the zodiac animal for 2021.
