What animal is 1939 in the Chinese zodiac?
In the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, 1939 is the Year of the Rabbit. More precisely, the 1939 lunar zodiac year runs from February 19, 1939 to February 7, 1940. People born before February 19, 1939 are usually counted under the previous sign, the Tiger.
The 1939 Chinese zodiac is also connected with the Earth element. In traditional interpretation, Earth adds themes of stability, patience, responsibility, trust, and practical judgment to the natural Rabbit qualities. This is why the 1939 Rabbit is not read exactly the same as every other Rabbit year.
