Compatible Chinese Characters
For Your Zodiac

Chinese Fu Calligraphy

Find Out Which
Chinese Character Is Suitable For You

Below is a list of compatible Chinese characters for you according to your animal zodiac.

They are based on the elements that the zodiac carries; the elements in the characters that are suitable for the zodiac; and also some are based on the meaning of the characters that are suitable for the animal.

Before we start, do you already know your Chinese zodiac?

Learn how to calculate your Chinese zodiac here. Or use the 4 Pillars Calculator. The Animal appearing in the Year column after you enter your date of birth is your Chinese zodiac.

Let's say you are born in the year of Rat. Then the characters listed under Rat are suitable for you. Some of these are radicals that form part of the overall Chinese characters.

For example, 氵 is a radical (it means water). It is not a Chinese character that is used in normal writing. When this radical is combined with another part, it will form a character. Such as 氵+ 永 becomes 泳 yǒng (swim).

Note:
  1. Some of these characters may not be suitable for the baby's name if they do not complement the parents' zodiacs.
  2. The list below is not exhaustive. There are many more characters that can be used, or cannot be used.
  3. There are times we may not get the most compatible Chinese characters. This is because we also have to juggle and balance between having the best stroke count, good sound and meaningful characters.
