The remainder = 3, Tiger
The remainder = 4, Rabbit
The remainder = 5, Dragon
The remainder = 6, Snake
The remainder = 7, Horse
The remainder = 8, Goat
The remainder = 9, Monkey
The remainder = 10, Rooster
The remainder = 11, Dog

Date of birth is after February 20: 
The remainder = 0, Rat
The remainder = 1, Ox
The remainder = 2, Tiger
The remainder = 3, Rabbit
The remainder = 4, Dragon
