Chinese Zodaic

The Zodiac traditionally begins with the Rat, so here is the sequence starting with the rat and the corresponding years

1984 Rat
1985 Ox
1986 Tiger
1987 Rabbit

1988 Dragon
1989 Snake
1990 Horse
1991 Goat (Lamb)

1992 Monkey
1993 Rooster
1994 Dog

1995 Pig

E.g. I am born in the year of the rabbit. That's my starting point, 1987 to find the next rabbit year just add 12 or subtract 12 to find previous rabbit year.

To memorize the zodaic u can memorize this story.

I imagine a rat wanting to charge an ox, but instead hit the tiger who growled scaring all the bunnies (rabit) until the noise woke a grumpy dragon. The dragon coiled itself like a snake on a horses leg which neighed noisily and woke all the lambs and made them crazy, therefore they acted like a monkey, crowed like a rooster and eventually barked like a dog, until a large pig oinked at them to keep quiet. :3
