The Chinese zodiac gets divided into 12 houses & each house has a 1 year time-length instead of one month. This year, it's the Year of the Rooster, the 10th animal in the cycle. The next Year of the Rooster will be in 2029. The Year of the Rooster — What It Means So every 12 years there is a Rooster year, beginning at Chinese New Year. A year of the Rooster always comes after a Monkey year and before a Dog year. Years of the Rooster include 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, and 2029.
