The Chinese year of 2016 began on 8 February 2016 and ended on 27 January 2017. People born between those dates belong to the Fire Monkey (丙申).

Clever and playful. The Monkey is known for curiosity and a quick sense of humour.
Chinese zodiac years change at the Lunar New Year, not on 1 January. If your birthday is before 8 February 2016, your sign is the one from the year before, the Wood Goat. If it is after, you are a Fire Monkey.
