Dear Mina,

1. I hope I understand your question, correctly, if not please clarify again - Thanks.

2. For those who are born in 11 Feb, 1972, they are considered born under the period 15 Jan 1972 to 2 Feb 1973 which is the Year of the Water-Rat

3. Therefore, for those born on 11 Feb 1972, will be considered as having born in the Year of Water-Rat (1972).

4. Only those who were born say on 1 January 1972 to 14 January 1972 should not consider themselves as born in the " Year 1972 " for purposes of Gua (Kua) calculation but rather they should consider themselves as born in the " Year 1971 ".

5. Similarly, those who were born on 1 January 1973 to 1 February 1973, will be considered as born under the " Year 1972 ".

6. In the past, if a person `picks' up a book especially on Chinese Astrology, one may simply see the Year of Birth being quoted as reference material.

7. In such a situation, for those who are born in January or February of any year, should try and confirm whether they are considered as born under that year or the previous year.

8. If the book(s) has taken into consideration the start and end date of each (Lunar Year) than, one can safely say that their correct Year chart has been taken care of.

9. The rationale for this is that authentic Chinese calculations are always based on a common denominator i.e. the Lunar Calendar. This is the most accurate means of analysis.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee
