立春Born in January or February 1943?
In the popular calendar, the 1943 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 5, 1943. Anyone born from January 1 to February 4, 1943 belongs to the previous year, the Water Horse. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 5, 1943 at about 00:33 Beijing time. That was the same day as New Year, so both systems agree except for births that day before Lichun.
