The Chinese Zodiac

The Chinese zodiac calendar is much more complicated than any of you would think. I'm here to set things to rights. If you were not born in January of February you are safe to say that the year of your birth is the right year for the chinese zodiac. If you know it I guess you don't have to go to the calendar (unless you really want to). I was born in January of 1986, which, according to popular belief, I am a Tiger. But the real canendar says the 1986 year does not begin until February 9. This, in turn, makes me an Ox. So you might want to check out the calendar before you see what traits your Chinese Zodiac has. Have fun!
