立春Born in January or February 1968?
In the popular calendar, the 1968 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 30, 1968. Anyone born from January 1 to January 29, 1968 belongs to the previous year, the Fire Goat. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 5, 1968 at about 02:09 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 30 and February 4, 1968 (or on February 5 before about 02:09), the popular calendar makes you an Earth Monkey while BaZi still counts you as a Fire Goat.
