立春Born in January or February 1955?

In the popular calendar, the 1955 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 24, 1955. Anyone born from January 1 to January 23, 1955 belongs to the previous year, the Wood Horse. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1955 at about 22:17 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 24 and February 3, 1955 (or on February 4 before about 22:17), the popular calendar makes you a Wood Goat while BaZi still counts you as a Wood Horse.
