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 2007 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Fire Dog before 13:18 China time and Fire Pig from then on; by Chinese New Year, Fire Dog.
- 5–17 February 2007: Fire Dog by Chinese New Year, Fire Pig by Lichun.
- 4 February 2008 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Fire Pig before 19:00 China time and Earth Rat from then on; by Chinese New Year, Fire Pig.
- 5–6 February 2008: Fire Pig by Chinese New Year, Earth Rat by Lichun.
