Chinese zodiac 2002
Born in 2002: Year of the Water Horse
Yang Water · Free-spirited · Energetic · Sociable
Quick answer
If you were born between February 12, 2002 and January 31, 2003, your Chinese zodiac animal is the Horse (水马), a Yang Water year. The Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, not on January 1, so if your birthday is earlier in 2002 you are a Snake (蛇) instead.
People born in 2002 turn 24 in 2026 (or 23, before their birthday).

Horses are lively, independent and love freedom and travel. They are warm and popular, though impatient and quick to move on.
As a Yang Water sign, your element adds its own flavor to the Horse 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.
