立春Born in January or February 1983?
In the popular calendar, the 1983 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 13, 1983. Anyone born from January 1 to February 12, 1983 belongs to the previous year, the Water Dog. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1983 at about 17:36 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 4 and before February 13, 1983, BaZi already counts you as a Water Pig while the popular calendar still says Water Dog.
