Chinese Astrology, Layer by Layer

Start with the sign everyone knows — your Chinese zodiac animal — then go deeper: your complete Fate & Fortune, a birth chart drawn from your full date and time of birth.

What’s Your Chinese Zodiac Animal?

Free

Enter your birth year and month. The zodiac changes at Lunar New Year (Spring Festival), not on January 1 — so the month matters if you were born in January or February.

Is your fate already written in the stars?

Fate & Fortune — A Complete Chinese Astrology Reading

Your animal sign comes from the year alone. Fate & Fortune uses your full birth date and time to place fourteen major stars across twelve palaces — self, career, wealth, relationships and more. Try the complete reading experience below.

Based on the Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star) system of Chinese astrology.

Birth time — choose what you know

I know my exact birth time
From a birth certificate or family record. We convert it to the traditional two-hour period automatically. I roughly know the time of day
“Born in the afternoon” is enough — your chart only needs the two-hour period, not the minute. I don’t know my birth time
Answer a few questions about yourself and we calibrate the most likely chart — a traditional technique called dingpan. You can also skip and get a partial reading.
