Questions about the Chinese horoscope
What does the monthly Chinese horoscope cover?
A month for each animal: the arc rather than the single day, and where the effort of the coming weeks is best spent.
Which Chinese zodiac animal am I?
Your animal comes from the year you were born, with the boundary at the lunar new year rather than 1 January. Anyone born in January or early February belongs to the previous animal.
Is this the lunar month or the calendar month?
The calendar month, so it lines up with the one on your wall. The year readings follow the lunar boundary instead.
