2002: Year of the Water Horse

Chinese New Year 2002 fell on Tuesday, February 12.

Yang Water Horse (壬午)

  • By Chinese New Year: February 12, 2002 to January 31, 2003
  • By Lichun (Start of Spring): February 4, 2002 to February 3, 2003

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 11, 2002? By Lichun, the boundary Ba Zi astrology uses, you are already in the Year of the Water Horse; by Chinese New Year you are still in the Year of the Metal Snake.

About the Water Horse

Water gives the Horse's restless energy a more fluid, adaptive quality, channeling their vitality through emotional intelligence and intuitive navigation. The Water Horse is the most flexible and socially skilled of all Horse types, combining the Horse's natural vigor with an ability to read and respond to shifting circumstances. This element helps the Horse flow with change rather than fighting it, turning their love of freedom into a gift for navigating life's currents with grace and speed.

The Yang Water Horse rides the currents of change with confident adaptability, actively seeking new experiences and communicating their adventures with infectious enthusiasm.
