2035: Year of the Wood Rabbit

When does 2035 begin?

• Chinese New Year (the lunar calendar): February 8, 2035.
• BaZi (the solar calendar this page uses): the Start of Spring, February 4, 2035, 8:31 a.m. Beijing time — 7:31 p.m. on February 3 Eastern, 4:31 p.m. on February 3 Pacific.

Anyone born between those two dates falls in different years under the two calendars: already the year of the Rabbit in BaZi, but still the year of the Tiger by the lunar calendar.

The Heavenly Stem: 乙 (Wood)

Yin Wood is the vine or garden flower — flexible, adaptive, and better at bending around a problem than confronting it head-on.

The Earthly Branch: 卯 — Year of the Rabbit

The Rabbit is gentle and diplomatic — attentive to detail and to other people's comfort, often the one who keeps a room at ease.

Born in January or early February? In BaZi each of these years begins at the Start of Spring, around February 4. Born before it, you belong to the year before.
