However if you were born in January or February, chances are good that you were actually born in the previous Chinese year, depending on what date Chinese New Year occured. If you're still unsure what your Chinese zodiac sign is, consult this the sixty-year cycle chart (scroll partway down).

This thread almost always turns into a "What's your sign?" thread anyway , it's still a sneaky way to figure out how old someone is!
