Born 1 January – 8 February 1967? Then you belong to the previous Chinese year: the Fire Horse of 1966.
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:
- 4 February 1967 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Fire Horse before 20:30 China time and Fire Goat from then on; by Chinese New Year, Fire Horse.
- 5–8 February 1967: Fire Horse by Chinese New Year, Fire Goat by Lichun.
Dates and times in China time. The Chinese zodiac calculator converts them for your birthplace and shows both counts.
The Fire Goat in Chinese astrology
A Fire Goat is traditionally more confident and expressive than other Goats – warm, creative and quicker to take the lead.
The Goat, also called the Sheep or Ram, is the eighth Chinese zodiac animal, associated in tradition with gentleness, creativity and calm. Fire is the element of warmth and energy, linked in Chinese tradition with summer, passion and outward expression.
