For Chinese Zodiac shirts, how do I figure out my sign?

Find the year of your birth to determine your sign.  If your year is not listed below, and you were born before the first year shown, add twelve to your birth year, and look for the sign associated with that year.  If you were born after the last year shown, subtract twelve from your birth year, and look for the sign associated with that year.
