立春Born in January or February 1946?

In the popular calendar, the 1946 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 2, 1946. Anyone born from January 1 to February 1, 1946 belongs to the previous year, the Wood Rooster. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1946 at about 18:05 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between February 2 and February 3, 1946 (or on February 4 before about 18:05), the popular calendar makes you a Fire Dog while BaZi still counts you as a Wood Rooster.
