❓ FAQ
Q. Is the Chinese zodiac calculated by lunar calendar?
A. This calculator uses the solar calendar. Traditionally, the Chinese zodiac uses the lunar calendar, but modern calculations typically use the solar birth year.
Q. Is it lucky when this year is my zodiac year?
A. Traditionally, your zodiac year (本命年) is considered a year of change and challenges. It's often viewed as a year requiring extra caution rather than being lucky.
Q. Are the zodiac date ranges accurate?
A. For those born on boundary dates (e.g., March 20-21), the actual sun position may vary. Check both signs if you were born on a boundary date.
Q. Should I consider both Chinese and Western zodiac compatibility?
A. Chinese zodiac comes from Eastern astrology and Western zodiac from Western astrology - they're separate systems. Feel free to enjoy both for fun.
Q. What are the Five Elements?
A. The Five Elements (五行) are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. In Eastern philosophy, these are considered the fundamental elements of the universe.
