Name-Rashi (Zodiac sign), Ghati-Hour, Chinese Rashi (Zodiac sign) — Instant free calculation; 10+ more and Vedic tools below
The Chinese zodiac is a 12-year cycle — each year carries an animal sign (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig) taken as an emblem of those born in it.
Note: the Chinese year turns not on 1 January but at the Chinese New Year (late January to mid-February) — January-February births may belong to the previous year's sign; the calculator handles this boundary automatically. The system is independent of Vedic astrology — enjoy it as an interesting parallel; the axis of prediction remains the Vedic chart.
Is the Chinese sign as authoritative as the Vedic rashi?
They are independent systems of two civilisations — Vedic prediction stands on planetary computation; the Chinese cycle is a year-sign tradition. This site's predictions are Vedic.
Born in January — which sign is mine?
If born before that year's Chinese New Year, the previous year's sign applies — the calculator decides this from your exact date.
Should I read both systems together?
For interest, yes; for decisions, no — marriage and career calls belong to Vedic kundali matching.
