Question on Chinese Zodiac Calendar

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]Does anyone know of a site or have a link or in particular a chart for determining one's Zodiac sign for the Day of their birth?

I am studying Japanese kanji and right now I am going over the symbols associated with the chinese zodiac:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#dcdcdc; padding-bottom:5px; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-bottom:none; border-radius:0.4615em 0.4615em 0em 0em; box-shadow:3px 3px 3px #999999;"][center]Rat/ Ox/ Tiger/ Hare/ Dragon/ Snake/ Horse/ Ram/ Monkey/ Rooster/ Dog/ Boar[/center][div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#f0f0f0; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-top:none; border-radius:0em 0em 0.4615em 0.4615em; box-shadow:3px 3px 3px #999999;"][center][font size=6] 鼠 / 牛 / 虎 / 兎 / 竜 / 蛇 / 馬 / 羊 / 猿 / 鶏 / 犬 / 猪
子 / 丑 / 寅 / 卯 / 辰 / 巳 / 午 / 未 / 申 / 酉 / 戌 / 亥[/font][/center]

And in the course of studying it, I was curious what my own four signs were.

Looking it up online, I can figure out my symbol for the year, month, and hour. But I can't seem to find any resource (other than online calculators) for determining the symbol for the day. I thought this would be the best group to ask in.

Would anyone here be willing to help me out?

Thank you very much!!! [/font]

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]That link has a ton of information and a nice calculator.

It also has a nice chart for the year, month and hour symbols. But it is missing the chart for determining the daily symbol =(

Thank you anyways. It was a great link and I appreciate the effort [/font]

If you use the calculator, the day symbol is listed in the Four Pillars section.
