According to Chinese Astrology, 1920 is the Year of the Monkey and it is the Metal element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1920 are Monkeys. The Chinese Monkey year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 20 February 1920 and 7 February 1921 are considered born in the Chinese year 1920 and are a Monkey sign. In addition, each Monkey 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. 1920 is also known as the Year of the Metal Monkey. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1920 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
