2063 Chinese zodiac: Year of the Water Goat
The 2063 Chinese year will run from Monday 29 January 2063 to Saturday 16 February 2064.
Its sign is the Yin Water Goat: 癸未 (Guǐ-wèi) in the 60-year cycle.
Born 1–28 January 2063? Then you belong to the previous Chinese year: the Water Horse of 2062.
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:
- 29 January – 3 February 2063: Water Goat by Chinese New Year, Water Horse by Lichun.
- 4 February 2063 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Water Horse before 03:31 China time and Water Goat from then on; by Chinese New Year, Water Goat.
- 4 February 2064 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Water Goat before 09:14 China time and Wood Monkey from then on; by Chinese New Year, Water Goat.
- 5–16 February 2064: Water Goat by Chinese New Year, Wood Monkey by Lichun.
Dates and times in China time. The Chinese zodiac calculator converts them for your birthplace and shows both counts.
