Okay, so the other day I was looking at this whole Chinese zodiac thing, and I got curious about the year 1966. It’s a year that’s always kind of fascinated me for some reason, so I decided to dig into it a bit.
First thing I did was to try to figure out what animal sign 1966 is in the Chinese zodiac. I used one of those Chinese Zodiac Years Charts I found online. It was pretty straightforward, just scroll down the list and find your birth year. Turns out, 1966 is the year of the Horse.

- Looked up the Chinese zodiac sign for 1966.
- Used a Chinese Zodiac Years Chart.
- Found out 1966 is the year of the Horse.
But then I learned it’s not just about the animal, there’s also an element involved. I found a Chinese horoscope calculator. This thing was cool, you just put in your birthdate, and it tells you both your animal sign and the element associated with it. For 1966, the element is Fire. So, it’s not just a Horse, it’s a Fire Horse. That sounds pretty intense, right?
- Used a Chinese horoscope calculator.
- Entered a birthdate in 1966.
- Discovered the element for 1966 is Fire.
So, I got curious about what being a Fire Horse means. I did some more digging, reading up on the personality traits and characteristics of people born in that year. They say Fire Horses are supposed to be really energetic, passionate, and independent. It also mentioned something about their future in terms of wealth, work, and health, but I didn’t dive too deep into that. I just like knowing that 1966 is the year of the Fire Horse. It is so cool!
- Read about the personality traits of Fire Horses.
- Learned they are considered energetic, passionate, and independent.
Oh, and I also learned that the Chinese zodiac isn’t based on the usual January to December calendar. It’s based on something called a lunisolar calendar. I used a Chinese Zodiac calculator to figure this out. It’s a bit more complicated, but it was interesting to see how it all works.
- Discovered the Chinese zodiac uses a lunisolar calendar.
- Used a Chinese Zodiac calculator to understand this.
My Final Thoughts
Overall, it was a fun little research session. I started by just wanting to know the zodiac sign for 1966 and ended up learning a bunch of other stuff about the Chinese zodiac. It’s pretty cool how there’s so much depth to it, with the animals and the elements and all that. Maybe I’ll look into my own sign next, who knows!
