立春Born in January or February 1999?
In the popular calendar, the 1999 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 16, 1999. Anyone born from January 1 to February 15, 1999 belongs to the previous year, the Earth Tiger. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 1999 at about 14:45 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 4 and before February 16, 1999, BaZi already counts you as an Earth Rabbit while the popular calendar still says Earth Tiger.
