According to Chinese Astrology, 1937 is the Year of the Ox and it is the Fire element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1937 are Oxs. The Chinese Ox year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 11 February 1937 and 30 January 1938 are considered born in the Chinese year 1937 and are a Ox sign. In addition, each Ox 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. 1937 is also known as the Year of the Fire Ox. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1937 is Yin (-) according to the Chinese calendar.
