生肖2015 at a glance

立春Born in January or February 2015?

In the popular calendar, the 2015 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 19, 2015. Anyone born from January 1 to February 18, 2015 belongs to the previous year, the Wood Horse. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 2015 at about 11:52 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 4 and before February 19, 2015, BaZi already counts you as a Wood Goat while the popular calendar still says Wood Horse.
