立春Born in January or February 1966?
In the popular calendar, the 1966 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 21, 1966. Anyone born from January 1 to January 20, 1966 belongs to the previous year, the Wood Snake. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1966 at about 14:34 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 21 and February 3, 1966 (or on February 4 before about 14:34), the popular calendar makes you a Fire Horse while BaZi still counts you as a Wood Snake.
