The two-calendar window in 1932

In 1932, Lichun 立春 falls first (1932-02-05) and Chinese New Year 1 day later (1932-02-06). Anyone born inside that 1-day window gets a different zodiac animal and year pillar depending on which convention their tool follows — BaZi practice switches at the exact Lichun instant (1932-02-05 08:29:32, Beijing), folk calendar practice at the new moon. This is not an edge case we gloss over — it is the single most common source of wrong zodiac years, and our engine comparison tool shows it live with three engines side by side.

Your Kua number for 1932

Born inside 1932 (after Lichun)? Your Ming Gua: male (2000 − 1932) mod 9 = 5 → Kun 坤 · female (1932 − 2000 + 6) mod 9 = 1 → Kan 坎（five yellow substituted per convention）. Born before Lichun? The formula runs on 1931 — the Kua calculator applies the boundary for your exact birthday.

FAQ

When does the year of the Monkey (壬申) start and end?

No — the lunar year 1932 has 12 months and no leap month.

What is my Kua number if I was born in 1932?
