Chinese Zodiac

Neither calendar's 1 January decides it. Korean saju (the Four Pillars) starts the year at Ipchun, the solar term that opens spring around 4 February, so anyone born between 1 January and the day before Ipchun takes the previous year's animal: 20 January 1990 is a Snake, not a Horse. In everyday Korean life many families count from Seollal, the Lunar New Year, which falls between late January and mid-February, while in Japan the eto usually follows the calendar year from 1 January. If you were born in this window, check which rule a reading uses.

Zodiac personalities show general tendencies and individual differences exist. Detailed personality may vary based on birth month, day, and time.

Zodiac compatibility is for reference only. In real relationships, mutual effort and understanding are more important. Good relationships can be maintained even with incompatible zodiacs.

Even with the same zodiac, Four Pillars differ based on birth year, month, day, and time, resulting in different fortunes. For more accurate fortune, refer to Four Pillars analysis.
