立春Born in January or February 1965?

In the popular calendar, the 1965 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 2, 1965. Anyone born from January 1 to February 1, 1965 belongs to the previous year, the Wood Dragon. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1965 at about 08:45 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between February 2 and February 3, 1965 (or on February 4 before about 08:45), the popular calendar makes you a Wood Snake while BaZi still counts you as a Wood Dragon.
