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.
