立春Born in January or February 1957?
In the popular calendar, the 1957 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 31, 1957. Anyone born from January 1 to January 30, 1957 belongs to the previous year, the Fire Monkey. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1957 at about 09:57 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 31 and February 3, 1957 (or on February 4 before about 09:57), the popular calendar makes you a Fire Rooster while BaZi still counts you as a Fire Monkey.
