According to Chinese Astrology, 1903 is the Year of the Rabbit and it is the Water element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1903 are Rabbits. The Chinese Rabbit year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 29 January 1903 and 15 February 1904 are considered born in the Chinese year 1903 and are a Rabbit sign. In addition, each Rabbit year is also represented by 5 elements in Chinese astrology that express character and behavior. Therefore, each year it is referred to with a different zodiac animal name and a different element name, and this repeats only once in 60 years. 1903 is also known as the Year of the Water Rabbit. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1903 is Yin (-) according to the Chinese calendar.
