生肖1958 at a glance

立春Born in January or February 1958?

In the popular calendar, the 1958 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 18, 1958. Anyone born from January 1 to February 17, 1958 belongs to the previous year, the Fire Rooster. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1958 at about 15:48 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 4 and before February 18, 1958, BaZi already counts you as an Earth Dog while the popular calendar still says Fire Rooster.
