        "text": "The zodiac year starts on Chinese New Year, which falls between January 21 and February 20. If you were born before that date, you belong to the previous zodiac year. That is why simple year charts often get early-year birthdays wrong."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Chinese New Year. Lichun-based year changes are used in Four Pillars (Bazi) charts, which are a different system. This site keeps one fixed rule so every page gives the same answer."
