What animal is 1990 in the Chinese zodiac?
In the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, 1990 is the Year of the Horse. More precisely, the 1990 lunar zodiac year runs from January 27, 1990 to February 14, 1991. People born before January 27, 1990 are usually counted under the previous sign, the Snake.
The 1990 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 Horse qualities. This is why the 1990 Horse is not read exactly the same as every other Horse year.
