According to Chinese Astrology, 1953 is the Year of the Snake and it is the Water element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1953 are Snakes. The Chinese Snake year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 14 February 1953 and 2 February 1954 are considered born in the Chinese year 1953 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. 1953 is also known as the Year of the Water Snake. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1953 is Yin (-) according to the Chinese calendar.
