According to Chinese Astrology, 1971 is the Year of the Pig and it is the Metal element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1971 are Pigs. The Chinese Pig year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 27 January 1971 and 15 January 1972 are considered born in the Chinese year 1971 and are a Pig sign. In addition, each Pig 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. 1971 is also known as the Year of the Metal Pig. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1971 is Yin (-) according to the Chinese calendar.
