What animal is 1995 in the Chinese zodiac?
In the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, 1995 is the Year of the Pig. More precisely, the 1995 lunar zodiac year runs from January 31, 1995 to February 18, 1996. People born before January 31, 1995 are usually counted under the previous sign, the Dog.
The 1995 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 Pig qualities. This is why the 1995 Pig is not read exactly the same as every other Pig year.
