According to Chinese Astrology, 1941 is the Year of the Snake and it is the Metal element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1941 are Snakes. The Chinese Snake year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 27 January 1941 and 14 February 1942 are considered born in the Chinese year 1941 and are a Snake sign. In addition, each Snake 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. 1941 is also known as the Year of the Metal Snake. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1941 is Yin (-) according to the Chinese calendar.
