Born 1–27 January 2055? Then you belong to the previous Chinese year: the Wood Dog of 2054.
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:
- 28 January – 3 February 2055: Wood Pig by Chinese New Year, Wood Dog by Lichun.
- 4 February 2055 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Wood Dog before 04:55 China time and Wood Pig from then on; by Chinese New Year, Wood Pig.
- 4 February 2056 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Wood Pig before 10:47 China time and Fire Rat from then on; by Chinese New Year, Wood Pig.
- 5–14 February 2056: Wood Pig by Chinese New Year, Fire Rat by Lichun.
