It begins at Lunar New Year, and that date moves: it can fall anywhere between January 21 and February 20, because the Chinese calendar is lunisolar and the new year is set by the moon, not by a fixed square on the Gregorian grid.<\/p>\n<p>The practical consequence is narrow but real. Somebody born on January 30, 1995 is not a Pig &mdash; the Pig year did not start until January 31 that year, so they are a Dog. Anyone born in the first weeks of a calendar year sits on the far side of that line, and a tool that asks only for a birth year has no way of knowing it.<\/p>\n<p>That is why the calculator above takes a full date, and why it names the New Year date it used. You should be able to check the answer, not just receive it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tzl-section\">\n<h2>Two traditions, two starting lines<\/h2>\n<p>There is a second complication, and it is the one most quick calculators leave out entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Everyday zodiac use &mdash; the animal you tell people at a dinner table, the animal on the red envelope &mdash; starts the year at Lunar New Year. But BaZi, and much of the astrological practice built on the stem-branch system, starts the year at <strong>L&igrave;ch&#363;n<\/strong> (\u7acb\u6625, Start of Spring), a solar term that falls on February 3, 4, or 5. Lichun is a solar event; Lunar New Year is a lunar one. They are simply different lines.<\/p>\n<p>For most birth dates this changes nothing, because both lines have already been crossed. It matters for people born in the gap between the two &mdash; and in a year like 2026, when Lunar New Year does not arrive until February 17, that gap is nearly two weeks wide. Someone born on February 10, 2026 is a Snake by the everyday method and a Horse by the Lichun method. Neither answer is an error.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tzl-note\">\n<div class=\"mark\"><i class=\"ph ph-warning-circle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Why only the exact Lichun date needs more detail<\/h3>\n<p>The calculator uses the verified Lichun calendar date for each covered year. A birthday clearly before or after that date can be compared without any extra information. Lichun itself turns at an exact moment, not at midnight, and that moment depends on time zone. If your birthday falls on that year&#8217;s Lichun date, the calculator asks for birth time and birthplace instead of assigning the BaZi year by date alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tzl-section\">\n<h2>The twelve animals, with their Chinese names<\/h2>\n<p>The animal order is fixed and the cycle never breaks, so recent years are the fastest way to place yourself.

It can fall between January 21 and February 20, so a January birthday before the cutoff uses the previous year&#8217;s animal, while a birthday on or after it uses the new one. The calculator checks the verified date rather than assuming from the year alone.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why does the calculator ask for my full birth date instead of just the year?<\/summary>\n<p>Because the year alone cannot reliably answer January or February births. Two people born in the same calendar year &mdash; one before Lunar New Year, one after it &mdash; can have different zodiac animals. The full date lets the calculator compare the birthday with the verified cutoff.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the difference between the Lunar New Year and Lichun methods?<\/summary>\n<p>They are two conventions for where a year begins. Everyday zodiac use starts at Lunar New Year; BaZi and much of traditional Chinese astrology use Lichun (\u7acb\u6625, Start of Spring). Where a verified Lichun date is available, the calculator compares both cutoffs. Only a birth on that year&#8217;s exact Lichun date needs birth time and birthplace to settle the BaZi year.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Which years does this calculator cover?<\/summary>\n<p>The checked table contains 138 verified Lunar New Year dates: every year from 1960 through 2031, plus 66 selected earlier years. It is not a continuous 1816&ndash;2031 table.
