According to Chinese Astrology, 1918 is the Year of the Horse and it is the Earth element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1918 are Horses. The Chinese Horse year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 11 February 1918 and 31 January 1919 are considered born in the Chinese year 1918 and are a Horse sign. In addition, each Horse year is also represented by 5 elements in Chinese astrology that express character and behavior. Therefore, each year it is referred to with a different zodiac animal name and a different element name, and this repeats only once in 60 years. 1918 is also known as the Year of the Earth Horse. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1918 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
