A Chinese zodiac calculator that determines your zodiac sign using your full birth date and the Chinese New Year boundary.
The pitch
Zodiac Compass is an independent website that helps visitors check their Chinese zodiac sign from a full birth date. The calculator uses Chinese New Year as the boundary between zodiac years rather than January 1, making it more accurate especially for births in January or early February.
The site publishes guides to the twelve animals, the five-element cycle, and compatibility themes. It also provides horoscopes and personality insights for each zodiac sign. The calculator supports birth dates from 1900 through 2100.

Quick answers
How is my Chinese zodiac sign calculated?
Enter your birth date and Zodiac Compass compares it with that Gregorian year's Chinese New Year. Births before Chinese New Year belong to the previous zodiac year.
Why can my zodiac sign differ from a simple birth-year chart?
Chinese zodiac years begin on Chinese New Year, not January 1. If you were born in January or early February, the exact Chinese New Year date for your birth year matters.
Which birth dates can I calculate?
The calculator currently supports birth dates from 1900 through 2100.
