When is the year of the goat (sheep)?

The year of the goat (or sheep) is the eighth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which is determined by a 12-year cycle. The year of the goat occurs every 12 years, and the next year of the goat is 2021.

The Chinese Zodiac is based on a combination of two cycles: the solar year, or the time it takes the Earth to revolve around the sun, and the lunar year, or the time it takes the moon to revolve around the Earth. The Chinese New Year is determined by the lunar year, and the start of the year of the goat is determined by the start of the lunar year.

The Chinese New Year usually falls between late January and mid-February. In 2021, the Chinese New Year will begin on February 12th, 2021, and will end on January 31st, 2022. This means that the year of the goat will begin on February 12th, 2021, and will end on January 30th, 2022.

The traditional Chinese New Year celebrations last for 15 days, and the Chinese New Year is a time of celebration and reflection. During the year of the goat, people often celebrate with family and friends, exchange gifts, and enjoy traditional Chinese food.
