Chinese zodiac 2001

Born in 2001: Year of the Metal Snake

Yin Metal · Wise · Intuitive · Composed

Quick answer

If you were born between January 24, 2001 and February 11, 2002, your Chinese zodiac animal is the Snake (金蛇), a Yin Metal year. The Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, not on January 1, so if your birthday is earlier in 2001 you are a Dragon (龙) instead.

People born in 2001 turn 25 in 2026 (or 24, before their birthday).

Metal Snake personality

Snakes are thoughtful, private and perceptive. They plan carefully and read people well, though they can be secretive and possessive.

As a Yin Metal 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.
