立春Born in January or February 1963?
In the popular calendar, the 1963 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 25, 1963. Anyone born from January 1 to January 24, 1963 belongs to the previous year, the Water Tiger. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1963 at about 21:05 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 25 and February 3, 1963 (or on February 4 before about 21:05), the popular calendar makes you a Water Rabbit while BaZi still counts you as a Water Tiger.
