Born in January or early February 1975?
The 1975 Rabbit year began at Chinese New Year on Feb 11, 1975. If you were born from January 1 to Feb 10, 1975, your sign is the Wood Tiger of 1974. The year ended on Jan 30, 1976, so birthdays in early 1976 up to that date still count as Rabbits.
The Korean saju year starts at Ipchun
In Korean saju (the Four Pillars), the year pillar changes at Ipchun, the start of spring — Feb 4, 1975 at about 19:47 Korea time — not at Lunar New Year. A birthday from Feb 4 to Feb 10, 1975 is already 乙卯 (Wood Rabbit) in a saju chart but still a Tiger by Lunar New Year. Why saju starts the year at Ipchun →
The Wood Rabbit personality
The Wood Rabbit is kind, artistic and so eager for harmony that they sometimes give away too much ground. Both the year stem and the Rabbit’s own branch are Wood, so the Wood character is doubled this year. Wood brings growth, generosity and a long view.
Rabbits read the mood and put people at ease. They avoid open conflict, but under the softness is a firm sense of what they will and won’t accept. Strengths: tact and emotional intelligence; good taste and a polished finish; a talent for keeping the peace. Watch for: difficulty saying no; indecision; retreating instead of raising a problem.
