立春Born in January or February 1944?
In the popular calendar, the 1944 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 25, 1944. Anyone born from January 1 to January 24, 1944 belongs to the previous year, the Water Goat. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 5, 1944 at about 06:24 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 25 and February 4, 1944 (or on February 5 before about 06:24), the popular calendar makes you a Wood Monkey while BaZi still counts you as a Water Goat.
