People born in 1973 are Gyechuknyeon, which means Black Ox. Heavenly Stem Yin Water corresponds to Five Elements and Water, and is called a black cow.
As of 2026, those born in 1973 will be 53 years old if their birthday has passed, or 54 years old.
People born in the year of the Ox are like this. They are sincere, persistent and have a strong sense of responsibility. We quietly build trust and achieve great things.
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 1973 and early February may actually be from the previous year, 1972, under the Year of the Rat. It is safe to check your exact zodiac sign by your date of birth.
