People born in 2008 are childless, which means Golden Rat. Heavenly Stem Yang Earth corresponds to Five Elements and Earth, so they are called golden-colored rats.
As of 2026, those born in 2008 will be 18 years old if their birthday has passed, or 19 years old.
People born in the year of the Rat are like this. Clever, witty and quick to spot opportunities. They are sociable and have a good sense of reality.
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 2008 and early February may actually be from the previous year, 2007, under the Year of the Pig. It is safe to check your exact zodiac sign by your date of birth.
