Until then it is still the Year of the Water Goat. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 1944 year begins on February 5, 1944 at 7:22 AM Beijing time (22:22 UTC on February 4). This lunar year has 13 months, including a leap fourth month.",
  "taiSuiAnswer": "In the Year of the Wood Monkey, the signs traditionally said to be in conflict with Tai Sui, the year's ruling deity, are Monkey (birth year), Tiger (clash and punishment), Pig (harm) and Snake (punishment and break)."
