However, there is one thing to note. In Myungri, the standard for the Chinese Zodiac sign is not January 1st but Ipchun (立春, around February 4th every year) . So, people born in January 1971 and early February may actually be from the previous year, 1970, which was the Year of the Dog. It is safe to check your exact zodiac sign by your date of birth.
