立春Born in January or February 2011?
In the popular calendar, the 2011 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 3, 2011. Anyone born from January 1 to February 2, 2011 belongs to the previous year, the Metal Tiger. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 2011 at about 12:28 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between February 3 and February 3, 2011 (or on February 4 before about 12:28), the popular calendar makes you a Metal Rabbit while BaZi still counts you as a Metal Tiger.
