Chinese New Year 1990

Chinese New Year 1990 is on January 27, 1990, beginning the Year of the Metal Horse (庚午, Geng Wu), which lasts until February 14, 1991. Until then it is still the Year of the Earth Snake. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 1990 year begins on February 4, 1990 at 10:13 AM Beijing time (02:13 UTC). This lunar year has 13 months, including a leap fifth month.

1990 is mostly the Year of the Metal Horse (庚午), from January 27, 1990. Dates before then belong to the Year of the Earth Snake.

In the Year of the Metal 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 1990 has 13 months, including a leap fifth month.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on October 3, 1990.

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.
