Happy New Year. It is now the first day of the new year where I live. My question is in two parts. What animal is represented by this year and what number in the cycle does it represent?

Happy New Year to you. It's the year of the goat - but I'm afraid I was lost amongst the stems and the branches of the charts to answer the second part - unless it's 11? Incredibly complex!! http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/calendar/chinese.shtml#CNY Jan 31 03, 6:15 PM

According to my reference it's The Year of The Ram (OR sheep) and is the 3rd year of the cycle. Gung Hey Fat Choy! (and I sincerely hope that's what it said it was!) Jan 31 03, 6:27 PM

It is a bit confusing BBJ - but this site says 'Year 2003 is a Chinese Black Sheep(Black Goat,Black Ram)year' http://www.chineseastrologyonline.com/2003.htm Jan 31 03, 10:38 PM

Happy New Year 2006 To Everybody! My question, how many years has the famous ball been dropped in New York's Time Square? Happy Chinese New Year, the year of the Rooster. Why do the Chinese give each year an animal? I have often read that in the Middle Ages in Britain (and elsewhere), New Year was celebrated on March 25th. Does this mean that the number of the year actually changed on that date, and if not, was there another name given to the date on which the year number actually changed? The crystal ball in Times Square has just dropped. Happy New Year! What was the first year that the ball was dropped in New York City?
