- By Lichun (Start of Spring): February 4, 1929 to February 3, 1930
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.
Born from February 4 to February 9, 1929? By Lichun, the boundary Ba Zi astrology uses, you are already in the Year of the Earth Snake; by Chinese New Year you are still in the Year of the Earth Dragon.

About the Earth Snake
Earth enhances the Snake's already formidable wisdom with grounded practicality and patient endurance. The Earth Snake is the most stable and materially oriented of all Snake types, combining deep intuition with shrewd financial sense. This element gives the Snake a warmer, more approachable quality while maintaining their characteristic depth and mystery. The Earth Snake accumulates both wisdom and wealth slowly but surely, building reserves that provide lasting security.
The Yin Earth Snake quietly accumulates insight and resources, nurturing inner wisdom and material security with unhurried, steady patience.
