1943: Year of the Water Goat
Chinese New Year 1943 fell on Friday, February 5.
Yin Water Goat (癸未)
- By Chinese New Year: February 5, 1943 to January 24, 1944
- By Lichun (Start of Spring): February 5, 1943 to February 4, 1944
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 1943, Chinese New Year and Lichun fall on the same date, so the year begins on the same day by both reckonings.
People born in 1943 turn 84 in 2027.
About the Water Goat
Water deepens the Goat's emotional sensitivity and artistic nature, creating a personality of extraordinary empathy and creative imagination. The Water Goat absorbs the feelings of those around them like a sponge, producing both remarkable compassion and occasional emotional overwhelm. This element gives the Goat's creativity a flowing, dreamlike quality that can produce art of haunting beauty. The Water Goat needs protected creative space and emotionally stable companions to thrive.
The Yin Water Goat retreats into a rich inner world of feeling and imagination, producing art and insight that flows from the deepest wells of emotional experience.
