2089 Chinese zodiac: Year of the Earth Rooster
The 2089 Chinese year will run from Thursday 10 February 2089 to Sunday 29 January 2090.
Its sign is the Yin Earth Rooster: 己酉 (Jǐ-yǒu) in the 60-year cycle.
Born 1 January – 9 February 2089? Then you belong to the previous Chinese year: the Earth Monkey of 2088.
Chinese New Year or Lichun?
Most calendars change the animal at Chinese New Year. Four Pillars (BaZi) astrology starts the year at Lichun, the Start of Spring, instead. For births around the turn of the year the two counts differ:
- 3 February 2089 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Earth Monkey before 10:54 China time and Earth Rooster from then on; by Chinese New Year, Earth Monkey.
- 4–9 February 2089: Earth Monkey by Chinese New Year, Earth Rooster by Lichun.
Dates and times in China time. The Chinese zodiac calculator converts them for your birthplace and shows both counts.
The Earth Rooster in Chinese astrology
