立春Born in January or February 1959?
In the popular calendar, the 1959 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 8, 1959. Anyone born from January 1 to February 7, 1959 belongs to the previous year, the Earth Dog. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1959 at about 21:40 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 4 and before February 8, 1959, BaZi already counts you as an Earth Pig while the popular calendar still says Earth Dog.
