立春Born in January or February 1952?
In the popular calendar, the 1952 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 27, 1952. Anyone born from January 1 to January 26, 1952 belongs to the previous year, the Metal Rabbit. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 5, 1952 at about 04:52 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 27 and February 4, 1952 (or on February 5 before about 04:52), the popular calendar makes you a Water Dragon while BaZi still counts you as a Metal Rabbit.
