Chinese New Year 1993

Chinese New Year 1993 is on January 23, 1993, beginning the Year of the Water Rooster (癸酉, Gui You), which lasts until February 9, 1994. Until then it is still the Year of the Water Monkey. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 1993 year begins on February 4, 1993 at 3:37 AM Beijing time (19:37 UTC on February 3). This lunar year has 13 months, including a leap third month.

1993 is mostly the Year of the Water Rooster (癸酉), from January 23, 1993. Dates before then belong to the Year of the Water Monkey.

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

Yes. The lunar year beginning in 1993 has 13 months, including a leap third month.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on September 30, 1993.

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.
