立春Born in January or February 1976?
In the popular calendar, the 1976 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 31, 1976. Anyone born from January 1 to January 30, 1976 belongs to the previous year, the Wood Rabbit. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 5, 1976 at about 00:38 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 31 and February 4, 1976 (or on February 5 before about 00:38), the popular calendar makes you a Fire Dragon while BaZi still counts you as a Wood Rabbit.
