立春Born in January or February 1938?
In the popular calendar, the 1938 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 31, 1938. Anyone born from January 1 to January 30, 1938 belongs to the previous year, the Fire Ox. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1938 at about 19:16 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 31 and February 3, 1938 (or on February 4 before about 19:16), the popular calendar makes you an Earth Tiger while BaZi still counts you as a Fire Ox.
