According to Chinese Astrology, 1921 is the Year of the Rooster and it is the Metal element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1921 are Roosters. The Chinese Rooster year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 8 February 1921 and 27 January 1922 are considered born in the Chinese year 1921 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. 1921 is also known as the Year of the Metal Rooster. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1921 is Yin (-) according to the Chinese calendar.
