立春Born in January or February 1993?
In the popular calendar, the 1993 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 23, 1993. Anyone born from January 1 to January 22, 1993 belongs to the previous year, the Water Monkey. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1993 at about 03:38 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 23 and February 3, 1993 (or on February 4 before about 03:38), the popular calendar makes you a Water Rooster while BaZi still counts you as a Water Monkey.
