What animal is 1950 in the Chinese zodiac?
In the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, 1950 is the Year of the Tiger. More precisely, the 1950 lunar zodiac year runs from February 17, 1950 to February 5, 1951. People born before February 17, 1950 are usually counted under the previous sign, the Ox.
The 1950 Chinese zodiac is also connected with the Metal element. In traditional interpretation, Metal adds themes of discipline, standards, precision, ambition, and clear boundaries to the natural Tiger qualities. This is why the 1950 Tiger is not read exactly the same as every other Tiger year.
