What animal is 1951 in the Chinese zodiac?
In the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, 1951 is the Year of the Rabbit. More precisely, the 1951 lunar zodiac year runs from February 6, 1951 to January 26, 1952. People born before February 6, 1951 are usually counted under the previous sign, the Tiger.
The 1951 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 Rabbit qualities. This is why the 1951 Rabbit is not read exactly the same as every other Rabbit year.
