FAQ
What Chinese zodiac sign is someone born on February 4, 1981?
February 4, 1981 falls in the 辛酉 year — the Metal Rooster. Note that the zodiac year follows the solar calendar (changing at 立春, early February), not January 1, so dates in January and early February belong to the previous animal year.

The zodiac animal is one of eight characters in the full chart. The Day Master — here 癸 (Yin Water) — is the element that represents the person; classical BaZi reads everything else relative to it.
