1975 Chinese Zodiac: Year of the Wood Rabbit

1975 is the Year of the Wood Rabbit — a Yin Wood year. The animal sign is the Rabbit, the fourth of the 12-animal cycle.

1975 carries the Wood element (Yin Wood). Element is set by the year's heavenly stem and cycles every 10 years, so the full Wood Rabbit combination returns only once every 60 years.

Those born in 1975, the Year of the Rabbit, are traditionally described as gentle, elegant, and alert. With the Wood element added, growth, generosity, and cooperation are emphasised.

The Rabbit is traditionally most compatible with the Goat, Pig, Dog.

Almost — but the Chinese zodiac year starts at Chinese New Year (late January or early February), not January 1. So someone born in early 1975, before that year's Chinese New Year, is actually a Tiger (the 1974 sign). If your birthday is in late January or early February, enter your full date of birth in the Age Calculator to confirm your exact sign.
