立春Born in January or February 2004?
In the popular calendar, the 2004 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 22, 2004. Anyone born from January 1 to January 21, 2004 belongs to the previous year, the Water Goat. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 2004 at about 19:54 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 22 and February 3, 2004 (or on February 4 before about 19:54), the popular calendar makes you a Wood Monkey while BaZi still counts you as a Water Goat.
