Chinese New Year 1966

Chinese New Year 1966 is on January 21, 1966, beginning the Year of the Fire Horse (丙午, Bing Wu), which lasts until February 8, 1967. Until then it is still the Year of the Wood Snake. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 1966 year begins on February 4, 1966 at 2:37 PM Beijing time (06:37 UTC). This lunar year has 13 months, including a leap third month.

1966 is mostly the Year of the Fire Horse (丙午), from January 21, 1966. Dates before then belong to the Year of the Wood Snake.

In the Year of the Fire Horse, the signs traditionally said to be in conflict with Tai Sui, the year's ruling deity, are Horse (birth year and punishment), Rat (clash), Ox (harm) and Rabbit (break).

Yes. The lunar year beginning in 1966 has 13 months, including a leap third month.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on September 29, 1966.

Dates are computed astronomically, following the rules of the modern Chinese calendar (GB/T 33661-2017): days in China Standard Time (UTC+8), months starting on the day of the new moon, the winter solstice always in the eleventh month, and leap months placed in the first month without a principal solar term. Solar terms are the moments the Sun reaches each 15 degree point of its path, computed with the Astronomy Engine library. Years before 1929 used Beijing local time, so a handful of historical dates can differ by one day from older almanacs.
