立春Born in January or February 1986?
In the popular calendar, the 1986 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 9, 1986. Anyone born from January 1 to February 8, 1986 belongs to the previous year, the Wood Ox. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1986 at about 11:02 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 4 and before February 9, 1986, BaZi already counts you as a Fire Tiger while the popular calendar still says Wood Ox.
