Quick answer
If you were born between January 22, 2023 and February 9, 2024, your Chinese zodiac animal is the Rabbit (水兔), a Yin Water year. The Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, not on January 1, so if your birthday is earlier in 2023 you are a Tiger (虎) instead.
People born in 2023 turn 3 in 2026 (or 2, before their birthday).

Rabbits are kind, elegant and peace-loving. They are excellent at smoothing conflict and enjoy comfort, though they can avoid hard decisions.
As a Yin Water sign, your element adds its own flavor to the Rabbit 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.
