Horoscope by birth year: the 12 animals
Horoscopes by birth year for all 12 animal years of the Thai zodiac cycle, from the Rat to the Pig. Each year has a description of its character, an overview of its fortune, the years it goes well with and the year to be careful with, and the numbers of the year. Note that the Thai zodiac year changes at Songkran, not on 1 January.
The years are given in the Gregorian calendar. The Thai zodiac year changes at Songkran, around 13 April, so anyone born between January and early April belongs to the previous year's animal.

Frequently asked questions
When does the zodiac year change?
The Thai zodiac year changes at Songkran, around 13 April, not on 1 January. People born from January to early April are therefore still counted under the previous year's animal. This differs from the Chinese zodiac year, which changes at Chinese New Year.
What is a friendly triangle?
It is a group of animal years four years apart that are considered to support each other the most. There are four groups: Rat, Dragon, Monkey / Ox, Snake, Rooster / Tiger, Horse, Dog / Rabbit, Goat, Pig. People in the same group tend to understand each other without much explanation.
Does an opposing year mean two people cannot be together?
No. Years six apart sit opposite each other on the zodiac wheel, and the lore holds that their outlooks differ greatly, so they need more explanation and understanding than other pairs. Many couples with opposing years get along well because each fills in what the other lacks.
