01 / Check the boundary

What is my Chinese zodiac if I was born in 1919?

Two zodiac signs fall within the Gregorian year 1919. Choose the row containing your birthday. These dates include both the first and last day; the animal changes at Chinese New Year, not on January 1.

02 / The story of the year

What kind of Goat is 1919?

Zodiac animal: Goat · 羊
Year element: Earth
Stem & branch: 己未 · jǐ-wèi
Lunar year length: 384 days

Goat personality in tradition

Yáng can refer to a goat or sheep; English lists may also say Ram. The sign is often linked with kindness and harmony.

The phrase “kind & creative” describes a traditional association with this animal, rather than a rule about everyone born in 1919. The year element is one part of the calendar; it does not establish a person's complete five-elements or Bāzì chart.

我属羊。

Wǒ shǔ yáng. “I was born in the Year of the Goat.”

Goat compatibility in folklore

Goat, Pig and Rabbit form a traditional harmony group of three. Ox sits opposite Goat, six places away in the twelve-animal cycle. These describe symbolic positions, not evidence of who will make a good partner.
