What animal is 1942 in the Chinese zodiac?
In the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, 1942 is the Year of the Horse. More precisely, the 1942 lunar zodiac year runs from February 15, 1942 to February 4, 1943. People born before February 15, 1942 are usually counted under the previous sign, the Snake.
The 1942 Chinese zodiac is also connected with the Water element. In traditional interpretation, Water adds themes of wisdom, intuition, flexibility, communication, and deep observation to the natural Horse qualities. This is why the 1942 Horse is not read exactly the same as every other Horse year.
