Your zodiac animal might be wrong

Chinese New Year follows the moon, but feng shui and BaZi follow the sun. If you were born between Li Chun and Chinese New Year, your feng shui animal is different.

Chinese New Year moves between late January and mid February because it follows the lunar calendar. Li Chun, the start of spring, is a solar term and lands on almost the same date every year. Feng shui and BaZi use Li Chun, so anyone born between the two dates can have a different animal, Kua Number and year pillar from the one on a lunar calendar.

1. Born in early February? Your zodiac animal might be wrong.
2. Chinese New Year follows the moon.
3. Feng shui follows the sun.
4. The year changes at Li Chun (立春), on 3, 4 or 5 February.
5. Born 10 Feb 2026? Lunar calendar: Snake. Feng shui: Horse.
6. Check yours free and find your Kua.

• Feng shui and BaZi change year at Li Chun, around 4 February, not at Chinese New Year.
• If you were born between late January and mid February, double-check your animal.
• Your Kua Number uses the same Li Chun cut-off, so it can shift too.
