According to Chinese Astrology, 1944 is the Year of the Monkey and it is the Wood element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1944 are Monkeys. The Chinese Monkey year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 25 January 1944 and 12 February 1945 are considered born in the Chinese year 1944 and are a Monkey sign.
