Find Your Japanese Zodiac Animal
Enter your birthday to discover your Japanese zodiac animal and what it means in everyday life. We use the commonly recognized calendar year in modern Japan. Traditionally, however, the zodiac year is often counted from around Setsubun (around Feb 3–4) , so people born before then may be associated with the previous year. If you would like to check your traditional zodiac animal, enter the previous year and search again if your birthday is before Setsubun.
