1915 Chinese zodiac: Year of the Wood Rabbit
The 1915 Chinese year ran from Sunday 14 February 1915 to Wednesday 2 February 1916.
Its sign is the Yin Wood Rabbit: 乙卯 (Yǐ-mǎo) in the 60-year cycle.
Born 1 January – 13 February 1915? Then you belong to the previous Chinese year: the Wood Tiger of 1914.
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:
- 5 February 1915 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Wood Tiger before 05:11 China time and Wood Rabbit from then on; by Chinese New Year, Wood Tiger.
- 6–13 February 1915: Wood Tiger by Chinese New Year, Wood Rabbit by Lichun.
Dates and times in China time. The Chinese zodiac calculator converts them for your birthplace and shows both counts.
The Wood Rabbit in Chinese astrology
Wood is the Rabbit's own fixed element, so a Wood Rabbit is said to be the most generous and easygoing Rabbit, with a strong wish to help.
The Rabbit is the fourth Chinese zodiac animal, associated in tradition with gentleness, tact and a quiet, elegant sense of style. Wood is the element of growth and new beginnings, linked in Chinese tradition with spring, generosity and steady expansion.
