01 / Check the boundary

What is my Chinese zodiac if I was born in 2090?

Two zodiac signs fall within the Gregorian year 2090. 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 Dog is 2090?

2090 is a Metal Dog year. Its stem-branch name is 庚戌 (gēng-xū): the heavenly stem 庚 carries yang metal, and the earthly branch 戌 corresponds to the Dog.

Zodiac animal: Dog · 狗
Year element: Metal
Stem & branch: 庚戌 · gēng-xū
Lunar year length: 384 days

Dog personality in tradition

The Dog commonly symbolizes loyalty and companionship in popular accounts of the zodiac.

The phrase “loyal & sincere” describes a traditional association with this animal, rather than a rule about everyone born in 2090. The year element is one part of the calendar; it does not establish a person's complete five-elements or Bāzì chart.

我属狗。

Wǒ shǔ gǒu. “I was born in the Year of the Dog.”

Dog compatibility in folklore

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