What is the year's animal, and what is its element?

The Chinese zodiac gives each year one of twelve animals and one of five elements. Together they repeat every sixty years.

The animals run in a fixed order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig, then the Rat again. The element follows the last digit of the year: 0 and 1 Metal, 2 and 3 Water, 4 and 5 Wood, 6 and 7 Fire, 8 and 9 Earth.

In popular practice the year changes at Lunar New Year, and in classical practice at Li Chun, near 4 February, so a birth between the two can have two animals. Naryu works out both and says so when they differ.
