立春Born in January or February 1964?
In the popular calendar, the 1964 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 13, 1964. Anyone born from January 1 to February 12, 1964 belongs to the previous year, the Water Rabbit. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 5, 1964 at about 02:56 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 5 and before February 13, 1964, BaZi already counts you as a Wood Dragon while the popular calendar still says Water Rabbit.
