Chinese New Year 2006

Chinese New Year 2006 is on January 29, 2006, beginning the Year of the Fire Dog (丙戌, Bing Xu), which lasts until February 17, 2007. Until then it is still the Year of the Wood Rooster. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 2006 year begins on February 4, 2006 at 7:27 AM Beijing time (23:27 UTC on February 3). This lunar year has 13 months, including a leap seventh month.

2006 is mostly the Year of the Fire Dog (丙戌), from January 29, 2006. Dates before then belong to the Year of the Wood Rooster.

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

Yes. The lunar year beginning in 2006 has 13 months, including a leap seventh month.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on October 6, 2006.

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.
