FAQ
Is the Chinese zodiac year counted from Lunar New Year or Li Chun?
BaZi, and SPYLL's calculator, turn the year at Li Chun, the solar term around 4 February. Lunar New Year moves between late January and mid February, so the two can give different signs for births in that window.
What is the Chinese zodiac sign of 2027?
2027 is the year of the Fire Goat, starting at Li Chun on 4 February 2027 at 08:46 WIB (UTC+7).
How is a zodiac sign different from a BaZi chart?
The sign is the year branch, one of eight characters in a BaZi chart. The chart adds the month, day, and hour, and the day stem (the Day Master) says more about your character than the year sign does.
