Billions across the globe will be celebrating Chinese New Year this week - but do you know your Chinese zodiac sign?
The start of the new Lunar Calendar this year falls on February 1 and marks the Year of the Tiger.
According to myth, the Jade Emperor declared the order of zodiac signs would be based on the order that each of the 12 animals finished a great race.
In the legend, the tiger was so confident that no one could compete with its speed and vigour, it was certain it would win the celestial competition.

As the tiger climbed out of the river assuming it was first, it was shocked to find that the rat had actually won for its cunning, and the ox had placed second for its diligence - leaving it in third place.
While perhaps they can think a lot of themselves, people born in the year of the tiger have several admirable traits - they are typically thought to be brave, forceful, powerful, confident and independent.
And when it comes to love, they are the most compatible with those born in the year of the dragon, horse and pig, whose personalities often complement these traits.
Each animal in the zodiac has its own traits and compatible signs.
