Two zodiac signs fall within the Gregorian year 2061. 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

Stem & branch: 辛巳 · xīn-sì
Lunar year length: 384 days

Snake personality in tradition

The Snake is traditionally associated with thoughtfulness and intuition. These are cultural associations, not personality measurements.

The phrase “reflective & perceptive” describes a traditional association with this animal, rather than a rule about everyone born in 2061. The year element is one part of the calendar; it does not establish a person's complete five-elements or Bāzì chart.

我属蛇。

Wǒ shǔ shé. “I was born in the Year of the Snake.”

Snake compatibility in folklore

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