Born in 2011: the Metal Rabbit
If you were born in 2011, your Chinese zodiac sign is the Rabbit 兔, and the year's Heavenly Stem is Xin, which gives the year its element: Metal. So a full 2011 reading is a Metal Rabbit. People born in 2011 turn 15 years old in 2026 (or have already, depending on the birthday).
The one exception: January and February birthdays
The Chinese zodiac year does not start on January 1. In 2011, Lunar New Year fell on 2011-02-03. Anyone born in 2011 before that date belongs to the previous year's animal — use the homepage finder with an exact birth date and it handles the boundary for you.
Metal Rabbit personality, briefly
Gentle, diplomatic and quietly sharp, the Rabbit wins by keeping the peace and picking the right moment. Rabbits dislike conflict and open confrontation, but underestimate their resolve at your peril. The Metal stem is traditionally said to shade that character — Metal adds precision, resolve and a taste for high standards. One sentence is all a birth year can honestly carry; the rest is entertainment.
