Other Chinese zodiac signs today
Two people with the same zodiac animal can have different Heavenly Stems in their birth years, so their relationship to today’s stem (a Ten God) differs and so does the reading. Birth years follow the Gregorian calendar year; if you were born in January or early February, your Saju chart may count the earlier year as your zodiac year. This reading is for entertainment and reflection, not a substitute for professional advice.
