Born in Malaysia or Singapore before 1982? Your clock ran half an hour behind today’s, and we correct for it. How it changes a chart

Your family on one zodiac scroll

Everyone in the family as their zodiac animal, painted on one hanging scroll, with who is the closest pair, who are allies, and what 2027 holds for each. Made on your phone: the names and years are not sent to us.

Born in January or February? Chinese New Year falls between 21 January and 20 February; tick the box if the birthday came before it, and the sign is the one before.

How the signs are read

  • Each person’s sign is their birth year’s animal, counted from Chinese New Year, not 1 January.
  • A natural pair (Liu He, 六合) is the closest tie between two signs; a trio (San He, 三合) is three signs that pull the same way.
  • Opposites (Chong, 冲) and frictions (Xing, 刑; Hai, 害; Po, 破) are where to be patient, not a forecast of trouble.
  • The year’s line compares each sign with 2027’s animal; someone born in the same sign is in their own year (Ben Ming Nian, 本命年).
