How to use this tool
Enter a year of the Common Era from one onward. The rule uses the remainder after subtracting four and accepts no birth month or day, so it does not apply Lunar New Year boundaries.
Results and examples
2024 maps to Dragon under this rule, and 2036 maps to the same animal twelve years later. An early-year birthday needs a separate check against the convention you intend to follow.
Limitations
- Lunar New Year and Beginning-of-Spring birth-year boundaries are not implemented.
- The animal label does not establish personality, compatibility or future events.
