Lunar New Year
Glossary · Last updated: 2026-07-26
Chinese Sheng Xiao year animals switch at Lunar New Year (Spring Festival), usually late January through mid-February.
Born on January 10? You may still be the previous year's animal. Our app shows a boundary notice when your birth date sits within three weeks of Lunar New Year.
Different from Losar
Tibetan Losar is a related but separate new-year date. Chinese and Tibetan animals can match while switching on different days.
