Animal sign and birth year
Most of us know the animal sign based on the lunar year. For the purpose of fortune-telling and Feng Shui, the beginning of the lunar year starts with “Li Chun” or the “Start of the Spring”. This is one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar. The “Li Chun” date is typically around February 4th or 5th on a western calendar. So, if your birthday is before that date, your animal sign is the same as the previous year. For example, if your birthday is in January 2020, your animal sign is Pig and not Rat. If your birthday is February 4th or 5th, it is better to check the actual lunar calendar to find the “Li Chun” date of the year. There are a lot of online apps or calculators you can search for. It makes the process much easier with the use of technology.
