Yang Wood Rat (甲子)
- By Chinese New Year: February 5, 1924 to January 23, 1925
- By Lichun (Start of Spring): February 5, 1924 to February 3, 1925
Chinese New Year follows the lunisolar calendar, so its date moves between January 21 and February 20. Lichun is a solar term that falls on February 3, 4 or 5, and it is where Ba Zi astrology starts the year.
In 1924, Chinese New Year and Lichun fall on the same date, so the year begins on the same day by both reckonings.
People born in 1924 turn 103 in 2027.
