What animal is 1962 in the Chinese zodiac?
In the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, 1962 is the Year of the Tiger. More precisely, the 1962 lunar zodiac year runs from February 5, 1962 to January 24, 1963. People born before February 5, 1962 are usually counted under the previous sign, the Ox.
The 1962 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 Tiger qualities. This is why the 1962 Tiger is not read exactly the same as every other Tiger year.
