Chinese New Year Animals Based on Your Zodiac Sign – Hollywood Life
The Chinese zodiac has 12 different animals which include the Dragon, Horse, Goat, Snake, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig, Rat, Ox, Tiger and Rabbit. Each Luner New Year, a new animal is adorned by participants in the holiday. Unlike the American zodiac which changes its sign every month, the Chinese zodiac only changes annually, meaning that your personal zodiac sign is based off of the year you were born. So, technically the “year of” your zodiac sign comes around every 12 years only.
2025 is officially the Year of the Snake and previous years have been 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2013. The 3 major personalities of snakes include being passionate, wise and sensitive. Celebrities who are the zodiac sign of the snake include Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Boy Dylan, per the The Messenger.
