1. What is the 1964 Chinese Zodiac Animal?

According to the Sexagenary Cycle, those born in 1964 are Wood Dragons (甲辰), represented by the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac.

Per the lunar calendar, the Wood Dragon year spans from February 13, 1964, to January 31, 1965 (Gregorian calendar). Those born before February 13, 1964, belong to the Water Rabbit year.

• Heavenly Stem: Jia (甲 – Yang Wood).
• Earthly Branch: Chen (辰 – Dragon – Yang Earth).
• Symbolism: The Dragon embodies power, wisdom, and nobility in East Asian culture. However, due to Wood overcoming Earth, Wood Dragons often face challenges to achieve great success.

By 2025, those born in 1964 will be 61 years old (Gregorian calendar) or 62 years old (lunar age).

2. 1964 Chinese Zodiac Element: What’s Your Destiny?

The term “Wood Dragon 1964” can be misleading. While the Heavenly Stem Jia (Yang Wood) and Earthly Branch Chen (Dragon) form this name, it doesn’t mean those born in 1964 have a Wood element.

Based on the Na Yin classification, 1964 is associated with the Fire element, specifically Torch Fire. This represents a warm, steady flame that illuminates and spreads gentle heat.

• Generating Cycle: Wood generates Fire (trees fuel flames), and Fire generates Earth (ash enriches soil).
• Controlling Cycle: Water overcomes Fire (water extinguishes flames), and Fire overcomes Metal (fire melts metal).
• Traits: Torch Fire individuals are dynamic, creative, and passionate but may become temperamental if emotions are unchecked.
