What Kind of Parent Are You?

To find out your Chinese Zodiac, animal and element, start at our Chinese Zodiac page. Once there you can locate your year of birth to determine which is your animal. People born in late January and most of February need to look carefully for their animal. The Chinese New Year occurs on the 2^nd New Moon after the Winter Solstice, which varies each year. Therefore, the Chinese year start date changes between January 21st and February 20^th every year. Someone born on February 1^st might be the animal of the preceding year or the incoming year.

Once you determine your animal, go to the linked animal page from the main page and see which element you have. I was born in April 1968, so I am a Monkey. I visited the page for Monkey. Between January 30, 1968 and February 16, 1969 the element is Earth. I am an Earth Monkey. If I had a child during the Year of the Fire Rooster, I would parent them as an Earth Monkey.
