@KineticKat@Cloudman176 Both perspectives are valid, but they apply to different contexts: lunar for holidays and general zodiac references, solar for detailed fate calculations and timing.Hope that clears it up.
@KineticKat@Cloudman176 That's why many practitioners consider the astrological Year of the Fire Horse to begin on February 4 — it's about the shift in yearly energy, not the festival date.
@KineticKat@Cloudman176 However, in traditional Chinese astrology, Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny), and feng shui, the zodiac year and its elemental energy (like the Fire Horse) technically change on Lichun — the solar term "Beginning of Spring," which occurs around February 4, 2026.
