According to Chinese Astrology, 1930 is the Year of the Horse and it is the Metal element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1930 are Horses. The Chinese Horse year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 30 January 1930 and 16 February 1931 are considered born in the Chinese year 1930 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. 1930 is also known as the Year of the Metal Horse. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1930 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
