立春Born in January or February 1977?
In the popular calendar, the 1977 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 18, 1977. Anyone born from January 1 to February 17, 1977 belongs to the previous year, the Fire Dragon. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1977 at about 06:29 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 4 and before February 18, 1977, BaZi already counts you as a Fire Snake while the popular calendar still says Fire Dragon.
