The two-calendar window in 1975

In 1975, Lichun 立春 falls first (1975-02-04) and Chinese New Year 7 days later (1975-02-11). Anyone born inside that 7-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 (1975-02-04 18:59:23, 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 1975

Born inside 1975 (after Lichun)? Your Ming Gua: male (2000 − 1975) mod 9 = 7 → Dui 兑 · female (1975 − 2000 + 6) mod 9 = 8 → Gen 艮. Born before Lichun? The formula runs on 1974 — the Kua calculator applies the boundary for your exact birthday.
