Find your Shio.
Know the year boundary.

Calculate your Chinese zodiac animal, year element, and yin or yang. Compare Lunar New Year with the precise Li Chun solar boundary.

Your birth details

Enter the time written on your birth record. We resolve the timezone; do not adjust the clock yourself.

Manual location & clock-change settings

Only change this if the birth record resolves a repeated daylight-saving hour. Nonexistent clock times are always rejected.

Calculated without AI or a payment. Birth details are not added to reading history. City search sends the city text to our place-search provider.

CALCULATION, WITH CONTEXT

Your signs.
The assumptions visible.

Enter your birth details to see both Shio year conventions, alongside the actual UTC instant and location used.

No invented noon time. No fixed birthday cutoffs for the Sun. An uncertain or repeated clock time needs your confirmation.

HOW WE CALCULATE

Clear inputs. Explicit conventions.

Calendar dates use lunar-javascript. Solar and lunar positions and the Li Chun crossing use Astronomy Engine. Historical clock changes use IANA timezone rules through Temporal. Apparent solar time uses an approximate equation of time.
