According to Chinese Astrology, 1968 is the Year of the Monkey and it is the Earth element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1968 are Monkeys. The Chinese Monkey year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 30 January 1968 and 16 February 1969 are considered born in the Chinese year 1968 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. 1968 is also known as the Year of the Earth Monkey. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1968 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
