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:
- 27 January – 2 February 2093: Water Ox by Chinese New Year, Water Rat by Lichun.
- 3 February 2093 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Water Rat before 10:18 China time and Water Ox from then on; by Chinese New Year, Water Ox.
- 3 February 2094 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Water Ox before 16:16 China time and Wood Tiger from then on; by Chinese New Year, Water Ox.
- 4–14 February 2094: Water Ox by Chinese New Year, Wood Tiger by Lichun.
