According to Chinese Astrology, 1906 is the Year of the Horse and it is the Fire element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1906 are Horses. The Chinese Horse year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 25 January 1906 and 12 February 1907 are considered born in the Chinese year 1906 and are a Horse sign. In addition, each Horse 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. 1906 is also known as the Year of the Fire Horse. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1906 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
