立春Born in January or February 1951?
In the popular calendar, the 1951 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 6, 1951. Anyone born from January 1 to February 5, 1951 belongs to the previous year, the Metal Tiger. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1951 at about 23:04 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 4 and before February 6, 1951, BaZi already counts you as a Metal Rabbit while the popular calendar still says Metal Tiger.
