# Chinese zodiac sign by date of birth The sign of the year is counted from Chinese New Year in Beijing time. If you were born between Chinese New Year and Lichun, we also show the year your date carries in a BaZi chart. [2027, the Year of the Fire Goat](https://bazi.astroway.info/en/zodiac/2027) ## Why there can be two signs The Chinese calendar has two year boundaries. Chinese New Year falls on a new moon between 21 January and 20 February. Lichun, the Start of Spring, is the solar term when the Sun reaches 315° of ecliptic longitude, every year on 3, 4 or 5 February. The zodiac sign is traditionally counted from Chinese New Year. BaZi uses Lichun as the boundary, because its year and month pillars follow the solar calendar. People born between the two dates have one sign in the horoscope and another year in the chart, and neither calculation is wrong. Both boundaries apply in Beijing time. If you were born late in the evening before Chinese New Year or Lichun, it may already have been the next day in Beijing. For such dates a chart with your time and place gives the exact answer. ## Years, signs and Chinese New Year dates The Chinese calendar year starts on the date in the "New Year" column, the BaZi year on the date in the "Lichun" column. Both dates are in Beijing time. 1930-1939 Year Pillar Sign New Year Lichun 1930 庚午 Geng Wu Horse · Yang Metal New Year Jan 30 · Lichun Feb 4 Feb 4 1931 辛未 Xin Wei Goat (Sheep) · Yin Metal New Year Feb
