Born 1–25 January 2047? Then you belong to the previous Chinese year: the Fire Tiger of 2046.
Chinese New Year or Lichun?
Most calendars change the animal at Chinese New Year. Four Pillars (BaZi) astrology starts the year at Lichun, the Start of Spring, instead. For births around the turn of the year the two counts differ:
- 26 January – 3 February 2047: Fire Rabbit by Chinese New Year, Fire Tiger by Lichun.
- 4 February 2047 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Fire Tiger before 06:17 China time and Fire Rabbit from then on; by Chinese New Year, Fire Rabbit.
- 4 February 2048 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Fire Rabbit before 12:04 China time and Earth Dragon from then on; by Chinese New Year, Fire Rabbit.
- 5–13 February 2048: Fire Rabbit by Chinese New Year, Earth Dragon by Lichun.
