立春Born in January or February 1936?
In the popular calendar, the 1936 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 24, 1936. Anyone born from January 1 to January 23, 1936 belongs to the previous year, the Wood Pig. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 5, 1936 at about 07:36 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 24 and February 4, 1936 (or on February 5 before about 07:36), the popular calendar makes you a Fire Rat while BaZi still counts you as a Wood Pig.
