According to Chinese Astrology, 1924 is the Year of the Rat and it is the Wood element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1924 are Rats. The Chinese Rat year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 5 February 1924 and 24 January 1925 are considered born in the Chinese year 1924 and are a Rat sign. In addition, each Rat 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. 1924 is also known as the Year of the Wood Rat. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1924 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
