What animal is 1955 in the Chinese zodiac?
In the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, 1955 is the Year of the Goat. More precisely, the 1955 lunar zodiac year runs from January 24, 1955 to February 11, 1956. People born before January 24, 1955 are usually counted under the previous sign, the Horse.
The 1955 Chinese zodiac is also connected with the Wood element. In traditional interpretation, Wood adds themes of growth, kindness, planning, and steady personal development to the natural Goat qualities. This is why the 1955 Goat is not read exactly the same as every other Goat year.
