1995 Chinese Zodiac: Year of the Wood Pig

1995 is the Year of the Wood Pig — a Yin Wood year. The animal sign is the Pig, the twelfth of the 12-animal cycle.

1995 carries the Wood element (Yin Wood). Element is set by the year's heavenly stem and cycles every 10 years, so the full Wood Pig combination returns only once every 60 years.

Those born in 1995, the Year of the Pig, are traditionally described as compassionate, generous, and easy-going. With the Wood element added, growth, generosity, and cooperation are emphasised.

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

Almost — but the Chinese zodiac year starts at Chinese New Year (late January or early February), not January 1. So someone born in early 1995, before that year's Chinese New Year, is actually a Dog (the 1994 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.
