Born in 1930: Year of the Metal Horse
Yang Metal · Free-spirited · Energetic · Sociable
Quick answer
If you were born between January 30, 1930 and February 16, 1931, your Chinese zodiac animal is the Horse (金马), a Yang Metal year. The Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, not on January 1, so if your birthday is earlier in 1930 you are a Snake (蛇) instead.
People born in 1930 turn 96 in 2026 (or 95, before their birthday).

Horses are lively, independent and love freedom and travel. They are warm and popular, though impatient and quick to move on.
As a Yang Metal sign, your element adds its own flavor to the Horse nature. Tradition pairs each animal with one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in a repeating cycle, so the same animal has five different elemental versions over 60 years.
