立春Born in January or February 1947?
In the popular calendar, the 1947 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 22, 1947. Anyone born from January 1 to January 21, 1947 belongs to the previous year, the Fire Dog. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1947 at about 23:54 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 22 and February 3, 1947 (or on February 4 before about 23:54), the popular calendar makes you a Fire Pig while BaZi still counts you as a Fire Dog.
