立春Born in January or February 1987?
In the popular calendar, the 1987 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 29, 1987. Anyone born from January 1 to January 28, 1987 belongs to the previous year, the Fire Tiger. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1987 at about 16:49 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 29 and February 3, 1987 (or on February 4 before about 16:49), the popular calendar makes you a Fire Rabbit while BaZi still counts you as a Fire Tiger.
