On February 15th, the Chinese New Year began.  In Chinese astrology each zodiac year is not just associated with an animal sign, but also one of five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.  If you are born in one of these years: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and presently 2018, you are born in a Dog year.
