CAVEAT: The Chinese lunar calendar was traditionally used to determine Zodiac animal signs. However, the above list is based on the modern Gregorian calendar. People born in mid-January to mid-February of each year may have a different animal sign in the lunar calendar versus the Gregorian calendar. To determine your animal sign using the lunar calendar, enter your name and birth date in the purple box at right and click the "Free Chinese Zodiac Reading" button. Once you know your animal sign, find it in the above chart to determine your Buddhist patron deity.
