The two-calendar window in 2065

In 2065, Lichun 立春 falls first (2065-02-03) and Chinese New Year 2 days later (2065-02-05). Anyone born inside that 2-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 (2065-02-03 15:03:21, 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 2065

Born inside 2065 (after Lichun)? Your Ming Gua: male (2000 − 2065) mod 9 = 7 → Dui 兑 · female (2065 − 2000 + 6) mod 9 = 8 → Gen 艮. Born before Lichun? The formula runs on 2064 — the Kua calculator applies the boundary for your exact birthday.

When does the year of the Rooster (乙酉) start and end?

No — the lunar year 2065 has 12 months and no leap month.

What is my Kua number if I was born in 2065?
