• Tiger: 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962
• Rabbite: 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963
• Dragon: 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964
• Snake: 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965
• Horse: 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966
• Goat: 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967
• Monkey: 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968
• Rooster: 2017, 2005, 1993, 1981, 1969
• Dog: 2018, 2006, 1994, 1982, 1970

It repeats every 12 years, so if you were born before 1960 just keep counting down till you find your year.

It all depends on the year you were born. This year, 2012 is the year of the dragon. the Chinese zodiac is a cycle of 12 signs. Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, money, rooster, dog, and boar.

so next year will be year of the snake
