According to Chinese Astrology, 1966 is the Year of the Horse and it is the Fire element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1966 are Horses. The Chinese Horse year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 21 January 1966 and 8 February 1967 are considered born in the Chinese year 1966 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. 1966 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 1966 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
