立春Born in January or February 2019?
In the popular calendar, the 2019 zodiac year began with Chinese New Year on February 5, 2019. Anyone born from January 1 to February 4, 2019 belongs to the previous year, the Earth Dog. BaZi (Four Pillars) astrology changes the year at Lichun, the start of spring, which fell on February 4, 2019 at about 11:17 Beijing time. That was before New Year, so if you were born after Lichun on February 4 and before February 5, 2019, BaZi already counts you as an Earth Pig while the popular calendar still says Earth Dog.
