IMPORTANT NOTE: If you were born in January or
February of any given year, you may need to enter the prior year
as your year of birth. For example, for many years I have thought
I was a Boar (no PUN intended) according to Chinese Astrology
because I was born in January 1959. However, once I started studying
Feng Shui, I found out that your Kua number is based on the LUNAR
calendar. The lunar year actually starts towards the end of January
or mid February - depending upon the year. So, to make a short
story long - I found out that I am a Dog - not a Boar. : )
Below is a chart that will give you when the lunar year began.
So, if you were born prior to the date that the year began, when
you calculate your Kua number, you will need to enter the year
prior to the actual year you were born. For example, I have to
enter 1958 instead of 1959 for my birth year because the lunar
year did not start until Feb 8 in 1959.
