1975 Chinese zodiac: Year of the Wood Rabbit

Born 1 January – 10 February 1975? Then you belong to the previous Chinese year: the Wood Tiger of 1974.
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 1975 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Wood Tiger before 18:59 China time and Wood Rabbit from then on; by Chinese New Year, Wood Tiger.
- 5–10 February 1975: 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.
