立春Born in January or February 2006?
In the popular calendar, the 2006 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 29, 2006. Anyone born from January 1 to January 28, 2006 belongs to the previous year, the Wood Rooster. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 2006 at about 07:29 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 29 and February 3, 2006 (or on February 4 before about 07:29), the popular calendar makes you a Fire Dog while BaZi still counts you as a Wood Rooster.
