生肖1969 at a glance

立春Born in January or February 1969?

In the popular calendar, the 1969 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 17, 1969. Anyone born from January 1 to February 16, 1969 belongs to the previous year, the Earth Monkey. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1969 at about 07:57 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 4 and before February 17, 1969, BaZi already counts you as an Earth Rooster while the popular calendar still says Earth Monkey.
