According to Chinese Astrology, 1931 is the Year of the Goat and it is the Metal element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1931 are Goats. The Chinese Goat year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 17 February 1931 and 5 February 1932 are considered born in the Chinese year 1931 and are a Goat sign. In addition, each Goat 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. 1931 is also known as the Year of the Metal Goat. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1931 is Yin (-) according to the Chinese calendar.
