I was learning about the Chinese zodiac (生肖/ 属) in my class yesterday and thought it’s an interesting topic… so - 你属什么? (traditional chinese: 你屬什麼?)

If you don’t know, you can find out from this: What Is My Chinese Zodiac, Calculator, Astrology Chart to Find Animal

我属羊

Which was quite a disappointment for me when I found out. I had really hoped for dragon or at least tiger…

My teacher of yesterday showed me the Chinese zodiacs. She is a 羊 like you and also seemed to be not entirely happy. :rofl:
I am a 牛， both in Western and in Chinese zodiacs. So, there is no way out. :laughing:

I love this topic! 我属狗! :dog:

We actually created a Chinese Zodiac Calculator a while back that is available on our website. Just enter your birthdate in the generator to find out about your animal, lucky numbers and lucky colours according to Chinese culture.

Here you go:

Our previous team member Jan also wrote about the origins of the Chinese zodiac, which I found very interesting as I didn’t know why these animals specifically and why this specific order of appearance:

I’m also 羊. So clearly @Andreas-Mandarin-HSK_6 , all the best people are 羊! None of that showy 龙 stuff like @Max :rofl:

I’m a lion in the Western calendar, so this sheep can roar :lion: :wink: :joy:

Lucky indeed! I got the pig :skull: :laughing: But I have just been reading about the Year of the Pig and despite being last in the race, we’re supposed to be lucky, living a comfortable life and optimistic, so I’ll take that :wink: and at least I found Julie Andrews on the celebrity list!

Any more pigs in the house?

I am a Rabbit :rabbit2: my country also has a similar Zodiac and the difference is that my birth year was a cat year, combined with the Western Zodiac, mine is Leo so basically I’m still a cat but Rabbitis is indeed very cute. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

This is mine :smiley: an earthy dragon :star_struck:
