Zodiac Animal Fortune
Korean Zodiac Fortune (띠)
Discover your fortune through the wisdom of the 12 zodiac animals
The Korean zodiac (12 Jishin) is a tradition of reading personality and destiny through 12 animals — Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig — cycling every 12 years. In Korea, "What's your animal year?" is as natural as asking someone's age.
Your birth year animal reveals core personality traits, Five Elements affinity, and compatibility with other animals. Discover who you match best with through the principles of Samhap (Three Harmonies) and Yukhap (Six Harmonies).

The Korean Zodiac Animal System (십이지신)
The Korean zodiac follows a 12-year animal cycle that has been central to Korean culture for centuries. Each year is governed by one of twelve animals — Rat (쥐), Ox (소), Tiger (호랑이), Rabbit (토끼), Dragon (용), Snake (뱀), Horse (말), Sheep (양), Monkey (원숭이), Rooster (닭), Dog (개), and Pig (돼지). Your birth year determines your zodiac animal, which influences your personality, fortune tendencies, and compatibility with others.
Zodiac Animals and the Five Elements
The 12-year cycle combines with the Five Elements to create a 60-year grand cycle (육십갑자). This means there are five versions of each animal — a Wood Tiger, a Fire Tiger, an Earth Tiger, a Metal Tiger, and a Water Tiger — each with distinct characteristics. Your specific animal-element combination provides a more detailed portrait of your personality and destiny than the animal alone.
Compatibility and Samjae
Korean zodiac animals form natural compatibility groups. The Rat, Dragon, and Monkey share harmonious energy, as do the Ox, Snake, and Rooster. These groupings also determine your Samjae (삼재) cycle — the three-year caution period that each animal group experiences together. Understanding your zodiac animal helps you navigate relationships, career decisions, and annual fortune cycles.
