According to Chinese Astrology, 1909 is the Year of the Rooster and it is the Earth element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1909 are Roosters. The Chinese Rooster year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 22 January 1909 and 9 February 1910 are considered born in the Chinese year 1909 and are a Rooster sign. In addition, each Rooster 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. 1909 is also known as the Year of the Earth Rooster. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1909 is Yin (-) according to the Chinese calendar.
