Chinese astrology divides the signs by years. It is believed that people born in the same year, share the same traits. Chinese astrology is based on the lunar calendar where each month begins with a New Moon and lasts for approximately 29 days. The year begins in January/February. The date is decided by the LuniSolar Calendar, which is based on the cycles of the moon and the time of solar year, and is generally 21–51 days behind the Gregorian (internationally-used) calendar. The date of Chinese New Year changes every year, but it always falls between 21 January and 20 February – that is the second new moon after the winter solstice.
