Yin Water · Wise · Intuitive · Composed
Quick answer
If you were born between February 14, 1953 and February 2, 1954, your Chinese zodiac animal is the Snake (水蛇), a Yin Water year. The Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, not on January 1, so if your birthday is earlier in 1953 you are a Dragon (龙) instead.
People born in 1953 turn 73 in 2026 (or 72, before their birthday).

Snakes are thoughtful, private and perceptive. They plan carefully and read people well, though they can be secretive and possessive.
As a Yin Water sign, your element adds its own flavor to the Snake nature. Tradition pairs each animal with one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in a repeating cycle, so the same animal has five different elemental versions over 60 years.
