The starting date of the animal sign

Most of us know the Chinese animal sign is based on your birth year. For the purpose of the Chinese metaphysics and fortune-telling, the starting of the animal sign is based on the “Li Chun”, or “the start of the spring” on the lunar calendar. This is one of the 24 solar terms used in the old Chinese calendar to identify the change of the weather and the best time for farming. This is different from the Chinese new year (January 1st on a lunar calendar). So I listed the dates and years below for easy reference.
