According to Chinese Astrology, 1945 is the Year of the Rooster and it is the Wood element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1945 are Roosters. The Chinese Rooster year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 13 February 1945 and 1 February 1946 are considered born in the Chinese year 1945 and are a Rooster sign. In addition, each Rooster 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. 1945 is also known as the Year of the Wood Rooster. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1945 is Yin (-) according to the Chinese calendar.
