立春Born in January or February 1950?
In the popular calendar, the 1950 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 17, 1950. Anyone born from January 1 to February 16, 1950 belongs to the previous year, the Earth Ox. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1950 at about 17:17 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 4 and before February 17, 1950, BaZi already counts you as a Metal Tiger while the popular calendar still says Earth Ox.
