2010: Year of the Metal Tiger
Chinese New Year 2010 fell on Sunday, February 14.
- By Chinese New Year: February 14, 2010 to February 2, 2011
- By Lichun (Start of Spring): February 4, 2010 to February 3, 2011
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 13, 2010? By Lichun, the boundary Ba Zi astrology uses, you are already in the Year of the Metal Tiger; by Chinese New Year you are still in the Year of the Earth Ox.
People born in 2010 turn 17 in 2027.
