Born in 1989: Year of the Earth Snake
Yin Earth · Wise · Intuitive · Composed
Quick answer
If you were born between February 6, 1989 and January 26, 1990, your Chinese zodiac animal is the Snake (土蛇), a Yin Earth year. The Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, not on January 1, so if your birthday is earlier in 1989 you are a Dragon (龙) instead.
People born in 1989 turn 37 in 2026 (or 36, 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 Earth 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.
