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, 1995 at about 16:18 Korea time — not at Lunar New Year. A birthday from Jan 31 to Feb 3, 1995 is already a Pig by Lunar New Year but still 甲戌 (Wood Dog) in a saju chart. Why saju starts the year at Ipchun →
