立春Born in January or February 2014?
In the popular calendar, the 2014 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on January 31, 2014. Anyone born from January 1 to January 30, 2014 belongs to the previous year, the Water Snake. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 2014 at about 06:00 Beijing time. That was after New Year, so if you were born between January 31 and February 3, 2014 (or on February 4 before about 06:00), the popular calendar makes you a Wood Horse while BaZi still counts you as a Water Snake.
